On our agenda this vacation was to visit Windy City Crossfit. Two years ago (before our Crossfitting days) Dennis and I went on a cruise for our wedding anniversary and on the cruise we made friends on a booze cruise excursion. We all hung out together on the cruise and when we all got home, we promptly friended each other on facebook.
After reviewing our cruise picture, it was obvious that Dennis and I needed to change our bodies and thus came Crossfit. Once we joined, we both became obsessed, and through the obsession, came facebook posts, and these posts were seen by our cruise friends, one in particular, Megan.
Megan then joined Crossfit out of curiosity and like us, hasn't looked back.
Why am I telling you this? Megan happens to living in Chicago and when she saw that we were going to be in the city, we coordinated to meet up at her box to WOD together.
How freaking cool is that? Somebody Dennis and I met once 2 years ago were meeting up to WOD together. Facebook + Crossfit = a wonderful thing.
Windy City Crossfit Box was very impressive. They had a very large space, multiple trainers, and ample bathroom and showers. I was very impressed with the class flow, and being pregnant, the trainer was very accommodating.
We did a group warm up, strength, and then the WOD.
Warm Up:
3 Rounds
3 Dead Lifts
3 Hang Cleans
3 Push Ups (on a slow count)
Strength:
3 Rounds at increasing weights
Clean to a Push Press to a Jerk
WOD:
8 - 1 (8-7-6-5-4-etc)
HSPU
T2B
(I scaled and used comparable movements for this)
After the WOD Dennis, Megan and I went out to breakfast to catch up and it was really cool that we all had this interest in Crossfit.
So another notch in my Crossfit box list (ok that sounds weird), but if you didn't notice, I keep a running tab of all the boxes I've visited and do a WOD at (Except KOB).
The rest of the vacation was awesome and we very much enjoyed the city of Chicago.
