For noen måneder tilbake var jeg på jentekveld med gamle venner fra CrossFit Bergen. Som vanlig var det et lystig lag som var samlet, og i løpet av kvelden kom det opp at vi burde arrangert en felles jentekveld for alle som driver med crossfit i Bergen. Som sagt så gjort, vi er handlekraftige kvinner… [Les mer…]

(takk til Mona og HH for lån av bilder) Time for a recap on last weekend’s Harbour Hellday in Aarhus, Denmark. I signed up for the competition last fall and regretted it right up to the day before all Hell broke loose. In hindsight, however, it was quite the experience. Here’s how it went down:… [Les mer…]

Lately I’ve been struggling with my motivation regarding competitions. I find myself sabotaging, both mentally and physically, my own development in order to excuse myself from performing below pari. Notice the inherent assumption in the sentence before, I assume I will perform badly, not even considering the fact that I might do well. How sad.… [Les mer…]

Third week of the CrossFit Open, and after the last two workouts consisting of a seemingly endless repetition of burpees and snatches many of us were curious to see what’d been concocted this time – would the Open finally live up to the CrossFit definition of constantly varied movements? Surprise, surprise, yes it did. Now… [Les mer…]

Ever wondered what 7 minutes of burpees would feel like? Me neither. Thanks to the CrossFit Open however, I got to see for myself what it was like. The CrossFit Games first started in 2007, with the aim of being the world’s premier test to find the Fittest on Earth ™. They are now world-renowned… [Les mer…]

Da var tiden inne for min første ordentlige konkurranse som crossfitter, dvs. selve konkurransen var vel mer en vektløfterkonkurranse enn en crossfit-konkurranse, dog relevant for meg. Ruth skulle også stilt denne dagen, men måtte dessverre trekke seg grunnet sykdom. 5-kampen fant sted i Bergenshallen, og var et initiativ igangsatt av Ove Hordnes og Alexander Schive… [Les mer…]

As we’re getting closer to competition day (we’re talking tomorrow…), I figured it was about time to have a closer look at the psychological mechanisms behind peak performances in top athletes. Not that I’m aiming to be a top athlete, but I figured we might as well learn from the best. Also, I’ve had… [Les mer…]
