World Spartan Race 2015 & Free Race Code!!!
Real Life, Workout

  So I’ll be honest, I’ve never done a Spartan Race… I would absolutely love to do one, but I’m terrified by the impact it would have on my ACL, and subsequently my derby participation. HOWEVER, my friends who do have all had an AMAZING time and I’m super impressed and humbled by their accomplishments. It’s […]

About DokiDara, Real Life

One of the things I love about working at Infragistics is the company culture… and one of the things I love about working in Marketing is the opportunity to be creative! The past few years at the company, instead of decorating the office in one uniform way for the holiday season, it’s become this amazing […]

Infrafamous!
Real Life, Technology

A few months ago my company, Infragistics, did a round of interviews about why we enjoy coding/learned coding/code for our work… and of course because I’m a girl and I have some code experience, I was pegged for an interview. The final cut came out recently, so I figured I’d share. Heeeeeere you go!

Nekocon LARP 2014 – Fortunia
About DokiDara, Real Life

I don’t know that I’ve ever blogged about my LARPing experience, but even if I have, Nekocon LARP 2014 is a spectacular reason to rehash. Why? Well, if for no other reason than one of my best humans, my human that at the ripe age of 12, we attended our first Con and LARP together. […]

October 2014 Check-In
About DokiDara, Crossfit, Real Life, Workout

Yes, yes, I’m SO aware that it’s October 20th. HOWEVER, I did manage to take these stats down on the 10th, so I don’t feel that horribly bad. I do have a LOT of things to talk about though, so I need to get back on the wagon here. This week is my last in […]

Conquering a Fear – Rope Climbs!
Crossfit, Real Life, Workout

I have to admit something…. I’ve been crossfitting since March of 2013 and I have never climbed a rope. Never. I tried once, maybe 6 months ago… My friend Lori (who has now become a spectacular L1!) was watching me and she made me stop halfway through because I couldn’t get the foot-lock down and […]

“…Maybe You Will Fix it in One Night”
About DokiDara, Crossfit, Olympic Lifting, Real Life, Workout

After finishing up my heavy squat cycle, my coach asked me what I wanted to work on next. I thought about it for a bit, and I decided that I thought the best move for me, next, would be to fix my strange “power snatch and power clean everything” affliction. Thus, I have dubbed this […]

A Special PR
About DokiDara, Crossfit, Real Life

While we were sitting around the box after class last week, I casually mentioned to one of the other CFN Girls that I didn’t know how to french braid. She gasped, appalled at my lack of athlete-hair-styling-skills. Then she proceeded to teach me. Because that’s what CFN Girls do — we help each other! Below […]
