Thanks CoronaLime! I assumed a swimsuit and throwing on running shorts or compression shorts would be alright for a first timer. It's a learning experience. The less I have into invest into something I may not like the better. I will make sure I have everything orgainzed, that's a good point with the shoes and other items.…

I could, and if I enjoy this tri and want to do others in the future that may be a good investment. But since this is my first and I may not like it, I want to hold off on investing a lot.

Made me smile =) Congrats and best wishes

Outside Harrisburg area!

I currently do Strong Lifts, running, and Crossfit. So generally speaking it's full body, big movements, explosive, and quick. Work out the other day took me 9 minutes and I was spent. It all depends on your goals and priorities. 2 options, full or split; you've been doing full body so try a split style training for 2…

How much do you rest between sets? As well as how many sets/reps do you do?

I ran a race in VA, with a bunch of dudes that are on SWAT teams ... I was last and the only female (that I saw). I just shrugged it off because I know I ran at my usual pace.

I have my headphones in and turned up. I attract some lookers mostly because I'm doing a crossfit WOD and I'm usually running from thing to thing. I usually wear compression capri's and some type of tank top. Funny, the other day, I was waiting with a group of friends to get a table, and a guy from my gym walked in,…

I've always been, what I consider, curvy. While I've looked the same size my weight has changed. For the longest time I was the 'skinny fat' and now I'm up from 120 to 140 ... I contribute most of that to eating more meat and crossfitting. I still have a soft look to me though. While everyones goals are different, mine is…

I just manually created my own exercise

Man I've been missing out!

uh all the time. I carry what looks like a suitcase ... almonds, carrots/hummus, pudding.

I was supposed to do something...and got distracted...

haha loved it!

dry shampoo if no one said it. Didn't feel like reading

I have also had myofascial massages, which are great but simply not as relaxing in a sense. There was a lot of getting up and comparing my shoulders (one was higher then the other) I've had it done for my back/shoulders as well as hip flexors. I do like in the article there's a link to a PDF showing examples and…

Will read ... however I love a good foam roll ...

I've ate plenty of horse grains as a kid ... =)

I'm huge fan of free weights and full body movements (think squats, deadlifts, push press) and to the point here is why. Machines do not allow your body to work in a natural state - it forms you to go from point A to point B ... You can hit any/every muscle group with free weights and get a 10x better work out. Why?…

Funny you say that - because I said the same thing to 'thecrossfitter' the other day! I some post about burpees and as soon as I read the response my hand smacked my head. I couldn't believe it either.

That's what she said.

bahahahaha love this :laugh:

Great thing with burpees is you can apply them anywhere, pull ups, deadlifts, KB swings! Anyone can do them

Not required, they'll help you get there ... eventually. 6 months in and I still don't have one. Others nailed it on the head - see if the box offers a free trial class or beginner classes. Most require some type of fundamental skill assesment/process. Good luck and welcome!

Keep your chest up, weight in your heels, and stick your butt out like you're looking for a chair. If you need to practice holding onto something then do that. Make sure you squeeze your glutes on the way back up to keep your knees in place.

12.2 WOD 30 Snatch (M 75 / F 45 lbs) 30 Snatch (M 135 / F 75 lbs) ... 30 Snatch (M 165 / F 100 lbs) Max Rep Snatch (M 210 / F 120 lbs)

Squats are the best thing you could do. Make sure you can do a squat with just your body properly. Then start adding a bar then weights. Learn to do back and front squats (they work your muscles differently). When you get more advance do overhead squats.

Kristen Clever - 143 burpees .... 2 more then Rich Froning ... dun dun duuuun.

Skillwork - Muscle Ups ... some day I'll join the club! 5 RFT 200M Run 20 pullups 200M Run 20 push ups 200M Run 20 Sit Ups 200M Run 20 Squats Killer! Love the body weight longer WODS. Took me 52:19. I'm glad it was still warm out (for PA in Feb) that it wasn't miserable. Open Gym on Sunday ... will look through my stack of…

^^^^ well put my friend
