No performance history
In May of 2010 I weighed 220 lbs and was on several medications. Walking a flight of stairs was painful due to arthritis in my knees. I had no energy. One day after breaking out in a sweat from trying to tie my shoes, I decided I'd had enough. I wanted my life back. I joined H2A CrossFit (formerly X-cell Fitness) September 7, 2010, and I haven't looked back since. I began by coming three times a week, eventually working up to five times a week, and following the Paleo diet. After seven months I signed up and began training for my first 5k. I ran my first 5k on September 11, 2011. Since then I have run several 5ks, 10ks, bridge races, mud/obstacle course races, a half marathon, and a sprint triathlon. CrossFit has helped me to prepare for these races, and now I don't even have to train outside of CrossFit for most of the races that I do. I have lost a total of 70 lbs. since I began my weight loss journey, and I'm no longer on any medications. I feel better than I ever have in my entire life. I believe in CrossFit so much, that I became a Level 1 Instructor so that I can help others achieve their health and fitness goals. This is my second time competing in the Open. I have a long way to go as an athlete, but I've got heart and in the spirit of CrossFit I will give it all I have.
