Occupation: I'm an Ob/Gyn resident, which means that I graduated medical school and am training to be an independent physician/surgeon. I deliver babies, do hysterectomies, see patients in the clinic etc.. I'll be done June of 2017. I work at Magee!

How long have you been CrossFitting: We moved to Pittsburgh in 2013, and got really tired of P90x videos by the summer... We started Crossfit in August 2014. Before that, David and I had been fencing both on teams and in national level competitions and we really missed having structure, team mates and coaches to help drive us.

Favorite WOD/movement: Rope climbs! To me, Crossfit is so much about exceeding expectations about what you are physically capable of doing. The first time I tried a rope climb I couldn't even get past what I could jump to (that WOD, I watched Tara do all the rope climbs/runs/something else awful wearing a weight vest the whole time and doing it twice as fast...I am always in awe of Tara) Getting to the top of the rope is always a struggle/sometimes a little scary, but the view from the top is totally worth it.

What you've gotten from CrossFit: So much!!! 1. The best physical shape of my life...and still improving! Oh, and David doesn't look too shabby either :) 2. Bolstered emotional health: A sense of control when my job is sometimes totally out of control. Like, can I fix your medical issue? No? BUT, I CAN deadlift that bar 55 times! 3. Similarly, a place where I can give up control and just let someone else tell me what to do and just listen, no questions necessary. 4. Friends that suffer with you, yell at you a little when you need it, and high five you at the end of it all. 5. Inspiration to learn new things, try that much harder and be a better, badder ass person all around !

Friday

Games Open 16.5 21-18-15-12-9-6-3 reps for time of:

Thrusters

Burpees

Men use 95 lb.

Notes:

This workout begins with the barbell on the floor and the athlete standing tall. At the call of “3, 2, 1 … go,” the athlete will perform 21 thrusters, then 21 burpees, jumping over the barbell for each rep of the burpees. They will then perform 18 of each, then 15 of each, etc., until the last round of 3 of each. Every second counts in this workout. Your score will be the time it takes to complete all 168 repetitions. There is no time cap for this workout.

This workout ends when the feet land on the other side of the bar on the final rep. Time will be recorded in full seconds. Do not round up. If you finish in 7:49.8, your score is 7:49.
