One year of CrossFit!
Sunday was my 1 year CrossFit Anniversary. It's hard to believe that just one year ago I was so sore I couldn't move, I still thought of CrossFit as something I would do just once or twice a week, and couldn't do a pullup (I could barely do one jumping pullup).
And now, I own a CrossFit affiliate and training has become my full-time job. I love it. It's really tiring at times, especially when my blood sugar drops and I get really exhausted. But, it's so rewarding. I love coaching people to a PR, or coaching them through something they never thought they could do.
And, now, I CrossFit 3 days on, 1 day off, like clockwork. I hate missing workouts. I have to remind myself that I CrossFit to prepare myself better for my primary sport - downhill mountain biking. Well, mountain biking in general, but DH racing is just tops. I WILL miss workouts this summer in order to go mountain biking. That's life, and that's okay with me.
I guess here is a great place to list my 2009 goals, for CrossFit and for Mountain Biking.

Wow, quite a long set of goals for 2009. I think you're going to do really really well at the Quals, and I hope you make it to Aromas.
Any returns to tris for 09?

Serious goals. Love the new blog. Guess you're one of the cool kids now.
BTW, there's no being afraid of strength. As long as you don't train it so exclusively that you lose agility, flexibility, speed, or endurance, getting stronger is an unmitigated good. Get that 200# BS back.
Dave - actually, I'm thinking about jumping in some tris this summer. There's a brand-new half ironman being held locally! I might just have to test my endurance. There's also some local shorter distance tris - an olympic distance, and a sprint-ish off-road triathlon. That one sounds fun.
Patrick - thanks! I've been reading up on that CFSB program that you mentioned in your blog. I might have to give that a go. I love being strong - I want to get stronger.
