“There is no cure for laziness but a large family helps.” - Herbert Prochnov

Sorry we didn’t take a group picture earlier! Quite a few of you are missing!

Athlete’s Perspective at NLP. – Christian Aguirre

Christian took 1st in the 2 min. Max Pull-ups (53) and was also one of the few who hit sub 5 minutes on WOD #2. He placed 20th overall in the intermediate division.

At the end of the long competition day I was telling my sister that 3 workouts in one day aren’t the average person’s  idea of fun, but all the competitors and affiliates who came out seemed to have a blast! Besides the workouts themselves, cheering, eating and sleeping we’re all part of the competition! (A few of us passed out after our WODs ) It was amazing to see  so many fit people in one place that it seemed like a huge family reunion! Sharing CrossFit stories and bragging a little about CrossFit Proper made the downtime go by much quicker. Although meeting new people from different affiliates was pretty cool, watching other athletes perform and overcome an obstacle that they thought was impossible was even cooler. (aka the pullovers and kettlebell snatches that could seriously break your forearm in two) Who would have thought workouts would be so fun?

I thought the workouts were well programmed and challenging, but that wasn’t even the highlight of the day. What really shocked me and made me proud was all the support that came out of CrossFit Proper. It seemed like our whole gym was there! (It practically was! Haha ) You guys and gals seriously rock. Just seeing a bunch of people wearing the CFP shirts fired me up to take less breaks and push harder than I thought I could in all 3 WODs. All the yelling and encouraging made the workouts seem like fun rather than suffering!

Props go out to Next Level Performance for putting on such a great even for CrossFitters and also to all the volunteers and judges. We wouldn’t have a competition without you! (Cynthia and Dustin you are awesome!) Come December we’ll be stronger, better and fitter.
