Let me highlight one of our hardest working athletes today. Actually, two of them.

Right from the beginning I knew Elaine would love CrossFit. She just jumped at every new move, pushed hard in workouts, wanted to learn proper technique and frankly sometimes scares me with how willing she is to try new stuff and just give things a try. Elaine is a couple months from giving birth to her first child and continues to hit her workouts with husband Bret and the 6qm crew. Elaine is very in tune with her body and is an experienced CrossFitter so I give her some leeway in what she does but we scale movements that are difficult to perform due to pregnancy issues and have lightened her weights considerably and she just keeps going. Jumping, running and other high impact exercises are no longer a part of her program but there are still more exercises she can do than she does not do. That doesn’t stop her from doing handstands and our definition of “light” deadlifts differ by a plate or two but through good communication and keeping an eye on Elaine’s energy levels we have a healthy mom who makes our gym a better place and a baby that is awaited with great anticipation.

This Saturday Elaine rowed four 1000m intervals. Each time was faster than her previous best time.

I couldn’t be more proud of Elaine and I can’t wait to get that kid CrossFitting! J
