I started playing football & basketball in junior high, and was good at football. But a focus on academics kept me from continuing into university. Instead I picked up racquetball. After graduation court access became an issue, so I switched to softball. In grad school I took up soccer & was hooked, playing 5-8 times per week. Then in 2010 my mechanic introduced me to Crossfit, so I added CF onto soccer & pretty much became a full time athlete, except with a job. Eventually all the abuse from those previously mentioned sports brought an end to my right knee as I tore my MCL & meniscus, and developed osteoarthritis. Running in soccer hurt too much, so Crossfit became my only sport. So now I compete every chance I get, despite not being very good at it, especially in the cardio realm. Still, I love the camaraderie and how fit I am, particularly at my age
