24:33, tried to post in the regular section 4 times. Terrible, low back fatigue by the end. Barely finished under the 25 minute clock I had set. Stopped to put lifting shoes on during round 1. Snatches in singles. Wallballs broken into 2, then, 3 then 6 sets!

Rx’d 43:45.

As rx’d, 16:41 (PR).

Just awful.  I did not remember this one being quite so bad.  PR by about 45 seconds.  Wall balls in sets of 10 and same with squat snatches until last round when the wheels came off and I was just trying to end the pain.  Both movements were a bit cleaner than last time (which is good, b/c that was 10
years ago).  Started snatches with good form and then switched to muscle squat snatches midway through as it seemed faster.  Although a hang snatch starting below the knee was allowed I did not go that route – felt just as hard and more awkward than just going from the floor.

This is amazing. She’s tapped into a huge demographic of people that hardly get a voice because I think overall, are silenced. Perhaps not intentionally, but because it is incredibly difficult for those who have a lot of weight to lose to admit that they are their problem and work on it. I’ve been there, I am still there. I thought the same thing when I got my L1 “who wants me to coach them on movements when I have weight to lose and can’t do ..x,y,z?”  But they do. They see I put the time in everyday to work on myself and I want everyone I have the pleasure of coaching to do the same for themselves. Thank you to all of you helping the people who walk into your lives or your gyms, be better versions of themselves. 

Athena is a breath of fresh air right when we need it. Now more than ever, we need community, inclusivity and various paths to better health with CrossFit. As an athlete who has lost 115# and is now a CFL1 at age 49, I can confirm being a coach that doesn't look like an elite athlete, but rather an ordinary person who has made a transformation - so many people appreciate how far I've come and helps them feel like maybe they can do it to.  Keep up the amazing work Athena, and CrossFit, thank you for featuring her!

Can you imagine this as the 5th workout of a day?  And in a competition, no less?  Wow.
And I love those old-school CF videos, when it was more edgy, raw, and unpolished.

Comments page today seems messed up.

I haven’t met you but I saw coverage on you in 2018 and you are and inspiration.  Coming from someone who has struggled with the same insecurities while getting my Crossfit level 1, level 2 and being a partner in a box this totally hit home for me.

great quick read.  Encouraging and insoiring.  Look for her interview on YouTube.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOu2BXOnF5s
That is a great story.  

This il CrossFit 

Athena is a Rock Star!  She has overcome so much, and given a platform because of it!  She is not letting that go to waste at all!  She is advocating for those that don’t yet have the courage or ability to do so... Yet!!! But they will because of what she is doing!

solid member of the new diversity team? How could she not be? ding ding ding.

Thank you Athena for all you are doing. Being a light for others, it’s inspiring!

This woman. She is a voice for the new CrossFit. She gets it. An inspiration!

I forgot how dope this video series was!

Such an inspirational woman, happy to call her friend!!
