Ok, we’re off. IT’s the CrossFit Games Northern California Sectionals, after all…

We’re leaving tomorrow morning.  Roger, Emily, Bill, and myself will be competing from CFM.  Martin signed up, but he is recovering from the flu or something.  Some of our other girls and boys will be competing at the Affiliate Cup, but that’s not until May.  I, honestly, have quite a few aches and pains.  My knees are especially unhappy right now.  I’m probably going to go to CrossFit Hell because I’m dealing with some of the stress by eating Haagen Daz.  Vanilla Swiss-Almond goes especially well with Chocolate Peanut Butter.  What a hypocrite.   (Well, sort of, cause I don’t really hide it.  Roger sometimes makes me eat my ice-cream in private.)  Well, I’m  going to give it a good go despite the minor injuries and discomforts.  Having hurt my backin November and gotten sick in Feburary set me back quite a bit.  It will be hard to keep up with the other monsters who will be at the top of their game.  There comes a point where the feelings of nervousness and apprehension give way to a sense of single-minded determination because now it’s game time, so excuses don’t matter for crap and we’re ready to rev it up.  Besides, the best part of going to the CrossFit Games is always hanging out with your friends from other affiliates who you don’t get to see very often.  When you’ve been in the community a while and have gone to inter-affiliate events, you end up meeting a lot of great people, making new friendships, and then you try to crush each other in a workout.  That’s how we roll.  Whish us luck!  =D
