   Sore, sore, sore, sore this morning. Getting up out of bed was difficult and extremely painful, but as she is up and moving, she is doing better.

   I think that it is not possible, here in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas (a.k.a. Northern Tamaulipas, Mexico) to eat a meal that does not include refried beans. A definite paleo challenge, but I am going for a long walk in Mexico later to help offset the damamge.

   I miss you guys.
   GO LAURA!!!!

   Rx – 12:53 (PR by almost 3 minutes) It helps to see Kelly speeding through the wod out of the corner of my eye.

   In awe right now of Laura’s performance thus far…

    I was waiting for official results, but they aren’t up yet…D writes that the ladies are finished and she is somewhere between 10th and 15th, but there is a huge tie at 115#.

    From the CFGames site:

    Laura DeMarco–who never thought of herself as an athlete and played no high school or college sports–lifted 115 and finished ninth.

    “It’s the first time I’ve ever worked on a single-rep max,” she said “It was frustrating because I could have done more… I don’t have the technique down, and it’s all technique.”

    No rounds completed. The wod was super tough on the “tall and bigs”.

    Send her positive energy…she needs to get back out there in the next one.

      Absolutely!

      Fantastic work from “Laura DeMarco–who never thought of herself as an athlete and played no high school or college sports”

      That’s a athlete’s finish!

        She’d better think of herself as an athlete now, because she is one, AND she’s our hero. Awesome!!!

    Joby — the triplet was HSPU, KB swings and GHD sit-ups, AMRAP. The ladies had to do one strict (no kipping) HSPU as a “buy in” for the workout.

      Thanks. After yesterday and this morning its amazing she could even hold her hands above her head, much less her body above her hands.
      Congratulations!!!!

      …if one HSPU was the “buy in” for the WOD, I’d hate to see what the “cash out” was…GREAT work L…now officially one of the top 20 most fit women in the WORLD!!

        AND kept her head in the game AND indebted himself to me when he wanted to keep you all informed but couldn’t tweet. He deserves all the beer he can drink!

    Was able to follow some of the coverage from the games…it is so amazing to see such great competitors and to know that Laura did so well among so many great athletes! What an accomplishment! Way to go Laura! Travel safe and can’t wait to hear all about it!

    Did this workout at Crossfit Atl today. Didn’t get up early enough to make it in to RX. Only about 8 sec faster than last time.
    As Rx: 12:46

    Also did a quick 3-3-3 front squat workout and got a 2lb PR to total 112.
