I feel like every little step I take in Crossfit feels like this momentous accomplishment for me, but you know what, whatever. I kind of like having tons of accomplishments to report and hopefully at some point this blog will help someone else who is as cheeseball and freaked out about everything as I am […]
So this month has certainly been crazy! My check-in is 5 days late, as you can see, but my excuse is that I WAS IN BERMUDA last week! I’ll be posting an update probably tomorrow on the vacation, but I figured I would get my stats up ASAP since I’m already behind! I officially clocked […]
So first and foremost, I know there are guaranteed to be a lot of terminology questions with this subject line… I apologize for that and I promise I’ll explain them, along with some other things, in this post. 1. What’s a WOD? This is something I definitely should have gone over earlier… a WOD is […]
What’s New, Dara? Yesterday when I walked into CFN, I would have sworn that it was hotter inside the box than it was outside. Honestly, if this had happened in the beginning of my Crossfit career, I think I would have cried myself into a puddle before the workout began. Then, today, it happened again. […]
I figured it might be annoying/boring to post a photo of my leg stripe every day while it’s healing, so I compiled the progression into one nice fun post. I only went through 6 days because, well, once it starts healing it’s not half as fun. Plus, I thought I would have the post go-live […]
It’s Juuuuuuuuuuuune update time! I know I know, it’s the 12th. Sorry, it’s been a super crazy week with posting and I didn’t want to be overwhelming and double up again like I did on Monday. So, I took my stats on the 11th and you’re getting them today. It happens, I’m a busy girl […]
For the non-roller derbiers out there, Wicked Skatewear is one of the top derby suppliers in the world. Roller Derby is most dominant in the USA, and “Wicked” as most skaters affectionately refer to “Wicked Skatewear”, along with Five Stride Skate Shop and Bruised Boutique, are pretty much the staple vendors for all things derby. […]
In continuation of the derby bruise saga, I’m bringing you the next installment! I took a pretty epic spill yesterday, and from the looks of this bruise, dragged my teammate’s… skate? Leg? Elbow? Along with me. Check it out and remember, this is from less than 24hours ago. Yikes. :/ Questions/Comments? Feel free to comment […]
If you’ve been paying attention to my statistics posts, you’ll note that I haven’t lost any weight pretty much since I started crossfit back in March (I kind of hope I’m the only one who is paying attention to this, but you never know). For those of you wondering about diet, I’ve been diligently tracking […]
Ever since I was little, I’ve always felt a special connection to team sports, and a very strong desire to be “part of something”. Soccer, Volleyball and Ultimate always came through for me, and then when I graduated, I joined Derby. My first few seasons (this is my fourth now), I was really focused on […]
