Helen in DK ! CrossFit Certification ongoing

Finally an exiting update. I'm currently in Denmark for the CrossFit Certification course I!!

We had a great first day, with lot's of great learning and insight that builds on what I've currenly learned. We went through the foundations and key movements, which can't be streesed enough how important and useful they are.

I really have to give props to Crossfit Dave @  http://crossfitaf.blogspot.com/ who is an amazing trainer, and who's attention to detail and coaching is pure world-class level! I'm really excited and proud that I've found this form of training and made it a major part of my life (my wife is also into CrossFit) going from scratch, and also knowing where I now need to go to improve my "weaknesses" and build on my strength to reach a great level of overall fitness and life -- i.e moving in to the oustide of the comofrt zone :-)

Anyways, We finished the day with a Helen-run :

3x
400 run
21 Kettlebell Swings (20 kg - the highest available)
12 Pullups

My time 11:09, done with some modification on the 2nd  & 3rd round of pullups (jumping).


I know I've got about 3 rather good weeks to recap (journal homework) -- involving some good set and developments at CrossFit Nordic, and we also spent last week in in Budapest (although I did not maximize the training, we had a good time and enjoyed amazing food and wine :-) )
