THAT feeling.

helllllo!

I am officially a chalk whore.

Just thought I would tell the world.

 I'm back on paleo! Woot! I'm doing the best I can not to cheat. But it's hard.

So I've been cooking like crazy! Even came up with my own shrimp recipe! Awesome, I can't wait to share it with you all. I love food.

I wore short shorts the other day. I really want to apologize to whomever saw me, I will not be wearing those again anytime soon. Please forgive me.

I cried during a workout this week, I didn't mean to, I really didn't. But it was really overwhelming. Reverse wall climbs suck balls. I want to thank everyone who encouraged Lara and I to finish that stupid workout in the time cap!

Talking about awesome people who encourage crying people, the Reebok crossfit YUL community is absolutely amazing. I'm truly thankful to be part of it. You peeps are awesome.

I LOVE dancing.

I'm surprised to hear a bunch of you didn't know I used to be a ski racer. I competed at the F.I.S. level (google it) but mostly at the provincial level and was quite the passionate athlete. I loved racing and training more then anything. It was my life.

After retiring, I coached amazing kids and tried to pass on my passion. But there was something missing. Some feeling that I didn't have, and that I needed. So I searched for that feeling, trying out skiercross and getting my level 2 coach.  I loved it,  I truly did, but when it's not your time, it's not your time. So a couple years later I found that feeling standing in front of my barbell, 3 seconds before the start of my workout. It was the same feeling I had when I was in the starting gate.  When everything get's silent, when there's nothing going on in my mind and when it's just me, myself and the race or now the WOD.

It was my race, and it was always about giving all you had, no matter what hill, what race, what discipline and who your competitors were, you had to lay it all down then and there. It was a matter of hundredths of a second once you pushed out of the start, depending on if you took the straightest line at the gate #13 or if you stayed in your tuck position long enough, or wether you had pushed at the start. It was these little things that made you win or lose. There is no second guessing once you start, you just go.

Just like if I go unbroken on my thrusters or if I break them up during Fran. It's a question of seconds. Ask yourself the question, what's the difference between a 2:24 Fran and a 2:20 Fran. It's a huge ass difference, that's what I would say.

Now that I found my feeling back, I can tell you that I am a much happier version of myself. Crossfit has definatly made me a better person, and it helped me out through many things in life, just like skiing did back in the day. It's my way of expressing myself. So if I cry, it's okay. I need to be emotional. It's also helping me be more... me. A happier me,  a stronger me, a more confident me.
