Whole30 Day 16 - Chicago to NY to Randy Meets Cindy at Reebok CrossFit 5th Ave

Back on the plane today for my last leg of my trip...

At this point, my body has not idea what time what time it is since I've been in all different time zones within the past week and 

I'm off to another time zone today...

Chicago (CST) to NYC (EST)...

I always get really nostalgic coming back home:-)(

What a beautiful view!

It's a good thing I had a few Whole30 approves snacks before I walked the streets of New York...

I checked into my Hotel, NYC Row, booked a massage and headed to Reebok's CrossFit Fifth Ave, about 1 mile from my hotel.

The temptation on the streets of NCY is overwhelming:-(

Here's a little excitement I witnessed walking to 

Reebok's CrossFit Fifth Ave...

It's a little crowed here at Reebok CrossFit Fifth Ave located in the basement of the Reebok store on Fifth Avenue...

WOD: Randy Meets Cindy

Randy - 75 Snatched (Event #1 of the Regionals)

Cindy (7 RFT - 5 Pullups/10 Pushups/ 15 Air Squats)

After the WOD, I headed to my massage and then wondered through the streets of NYC for food.

I must admit I was really craving NY pizza...

Wouldn't you if you saw this beautiful array of pies...???

But, no I didn't cave into temptation. I stayed focused and strong and when there are too many food choices, I stuck with what I know is Whole30 Compliant and to tell you truth I could eat sashimi everyday if I had too.

Today's Stats

Sounds like a late dinner, but my time zones are all out of whack, my body has NO idea what time it is, I just eat when I'm hungry... 

If you could eat sashimi everyday on the Whole30, would you?

Meeting Annie Thorisdottir, Fittest Woman on Earth

I usually don't get starstruck, but when I saw Iceland Annie I have to admit I was...I was walked into Reebok Crossfit Fifth Ave in NCY and saw Annie, it appeared she just finished working out...As soon as I saw her I wanted to talk to her, but I didn't...I was a little late to class and didn't want to disturb...As I warmed-up all I thought about was introducing myself and thanking her for inspiring me and other ladies to get stronger...

Next thing I knew the WOD was about to begin, blocks of #75 thrusters & DU's with a 12 min cap...And all I wanted to do was talk to her...She eventually left while I was in the middle of doing the WOD and my heart sunk a little because I missed the opportunity to thank her...

The next day, before heading to the airport I decided to take the noon class at Reebok Crossfit Fifth Ave and to my surprise Annie was there again. This time I showed up to class early, but still couldn't bring myself to talk to her...I just didn't want to be 'that person'...So again the next thing I knew the WOD was about to begin, Buy-in & Buy-Out 25 burpees 3 RD's Run 400 & 10 Front Rack Bar Lunges (#105), and all I could think about was talking to her...BTW, Running through the streets of NY is a real challenge, dodging crowds of people and smokers everywhere, it made me really appreciate living in Boulder...Anyhow, she was still around after the WOD and I finally got up the nerve to talk to her...

She was so nice and humble. She said she moved to NY and is going to help open the NEW Reebok Crossfit box at Union Square. I told her I coach at Boulder Crossfit and that I started a Ladies Only Crossfit class which she thought was a really good idea.

Anyhow, if you Crossfit and don't know who Annie Thorisdottir you should...She is one the 'Fittest Woman' and has won the Crossfit Games twice (2011 & 2012)...Check her out...
