Crossfit North Manly
Tweet Most places I visit you wouldn’t find a gym, let alone a crossfit affiliate. However, Manly is an exception. It’s just across the harbor from Sydney, and the lovely beaches, surf, and sailing are not the only things here keeping people active. Crossfit North Manly opened just a couple of months ago, which meant …read the rest
Weekday Sprints
Tweet Today we ran 6 200 meter sprints. Technically it was 8, but the first two were at 80%, so I didn’t count them. As I sprinted and recovered, sprinted and recovered, I came up with this little diddy. (You write poetry when you run sprints right? 1. Monday is slow to start and …read the rest
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can… (no thinking allowed)
Tweet Something strange happened on Friday night: as I was laying in bed thinking about the race, I suddenly realized that I had no idea how to prepare mentally.

Sleep Deprived and Caffeine Dependant
Tweet I often feel exhausted, and frustrated by this exhaustion. Instead of taking a deep breath and taking a break, I often blame myself. What is the matter with me? Why can’t I keep up? Am I not eating the right foods? I believe that if I get the best possible nutrition I will be …read the rest
The Whole Grocer, A Whole New Experience in Shopping Gluten Free

Slacking…
Tweet While my posted workouts have been absent, the workouts definitely haven’t been! My class with Re Wikstrom and Hannah Whitney has been awesome; those girls have been working their butts off! I’m so proud of them! We’ve been skiing a little bit too. It’s awesome to put our training to the test (Even if …read the rest
Day one: Crossfit Dryland
Tweet Being strong is one of my biggest priorities. With strength, I have the confidence to ski bigger lines, walk out of gnarlier crashes, and stomp bigger airs. The stronger I am, the better I am. I believe the same is true for every skier. Crossfit is an effective way to get in shape for the …read the rest
