I'm Lizzi and I am 24. I am an avid crossfiter and I eat paleo. The last challenge was semi successful, it forced me to work more on my weaknesses. I am proud of what I did accomplish in the last challenge but I did not meet all my goals. I came very close, but I think my goals may have been a little much for a 6 week timeline. I am hoping to be successful enough in this challenge to move on to be a ranger in the next one. Which differs from my mindset last time, I was eager to be a warrior but I think the rangers may be a better direction for me. My main goal will stay the same, the only difference is now have a deadline since the next festivus comp has a date now. Also, my last quest improved my Olympic lifting so much in the last challenge I will keep that the same. Making attending Oly classes part of my goals helps keep me accountable to show up every time. Let's see how this goes. Main Quest I would like to compete as an intermediate athlete at Festivus on October 18, 2014. Quest 1 One of my weaknesses is completing double unders when jumping rope. I have been able to do double unders, but have never been able to do more than one at a time. I would like to be able to string together at least 2 double unders. Quest 2 At the moment I am using resistance bands to help with my pull ups. I am currently using a red and blue band. I know unassisted will take a longer amount of time, so my goal is to be able to do 5 pull ups with one red band. Quest 3 A lot of the Crossfit competitions we do have an Olympic lifting component. I would like to better myself by completing one Olympic lifting class at my gym each week. Motivation When I started Crossfit, my main motivation was to lose weight. Now my weight and the scale has become less of a priority. I am so proud of how strong I am, and how confident I am in my body as it is. My motivation now is to be the best Crossfit athlete I can, and maybe one day I will see the Crossfit Games in my future.
