March of 2010 I was a personal trainer doing triathlons just to stay in shape. One day I tried out a CrossFit style bootcamp class I discovered how de-conditioned I really was! That next day my body was destroyed from a couple pushups and sit-ups and I was angry! How could a Division 1 Heptathlete become so weak? I WAS strong, I WAS fit! That’s when I started training Crossfit. Fast forward to the present and I’m stronger in every aspect possible. My body, my mind, and my future. It wasn’t an easy ride and still isn’t!
