Next meet will be June 18, 2016.  Training is ramping up and going as smoothly as I could hope for.  I have had to make a few adjustments to accommodate my knee, but overall I am adjusting to the heavier weights very well.  I am ready for my deload next week and will continue to build momentum.  I also had the opportunity to MC the Pittsburgh Monster Meet in Moon, PA.  I love this meet and am so thankful to Mike Barravecchio for allowing me to be a part of it.  I cannot wait until next year!

Finally, I wanted to give a shout out to my fiancee Pam, who qualified for East Regionals in Crossfit for the 3rd year in a row.  This woman is the definition of perseverance and continues to inspire and motivate me to be at my best.  Congrats babe!

My #womancrushwednesday is fitter than yours! My #fiancee motivates the hell out of me with not only her actions, but her resolve. Thank you for letting me play a role in your success, babe. ???? #WCW #hotpam #Repost @pamanstey with @repostapp. ・・・ This years #CrossFitOpen results took me by surprise. A week or two before the Open I wasn't even planning on participating due to injury. My training was much different this off season as I did everything I could do to work around my injuries. I didn't think I would be conditioned or strong enough to even come close to qualifying for regionals…let alone be pain free. . When 16.1 was announced I was excited I knew I could do lunges with no pain! I gave it a go for fun and ended up being tied with Emily Abbot's score….good thing I took a video. 8th place in Canada East. Holy shit. I guess I should register and keep going…. 16.2 came along… Fuck squat cleans. Haven't done those in 6 months…. 344 reps. Holy shit I squat cleaned 92% of my max 5 times in two minutes. ???? The @crossfitotown Community really helped me out. 16.3… Good thing I worked on my bar muscle ups this off season. @alexkazam_gymnastics 16.4… Just fucken hurt…. Physically and emotionally. So much so that I had to re-do it. Thanks to @hollymcilroy and Crossfit Select for allowing me to throw down in their box. 16.5 …thank gawd for #thrusters and #burpees and the community at @crossfit1855 ! 6th place finish in Canada East. Boom! .???????????????????????????? My take from this is no matter what you are doing as long as you put the hard work in you will achieve something. .???????????????????????????????????? My support system is also incredible. I honestly don't know if I could have gotten to where I am without @pauloneid. He programmed my main lifts and diet. He got his judges course so I could do my workouts when I was good and ready. He stays late at the gym with me even when he is done training. He picks me up when I'm down. He cheers me on. He pushes me. He believes in me. ❤️ . So here we go #EastRegionals Time to have fun. . #crossfit #roadtoregionals2016 #eastregionals #crossfitgirls #progress #stronger #work #worhard #canadaeast #canada #crossfitotown #crossfit1855

I implement 10/20/Life a little bit differently than the other team members. I prefer to work off percentages, even in the off-season as I find it keeps me honest and gives me a specific goal for each training session.
