Earlier this month I visited a friend in Oslo who trains crossfit at Black Box Gym Oslo. There are two crossfit affiliates in Oslo, Black Box and CrossFit Oslo. BB turned out to be your regular crossfit gym, charmingly worn down-sorta place, with all equipment necessary and padded flooring (they also do martial arts). This… [Les mer…]

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.

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…]

I am undoubtedly a very lucky girl, not only do I get to compose my own Heavy WODs, I get to do them in the company of the hottest guys Bergen has to offer (completely unbiased of course). This might be incredibly superficial of me, but look how much I care, they are eyecandy. So… [Les mer…]

Friday night and that means Heavy WOD! As usual we gathered down at CrossFit Bryggen, and in addition to the regular crew attending we had a new girl onboard, Katarina. Nothing pleases me more than to see new faces trying out heavy stuff, and girls in particular make me very happy – the more we… [Les mer…]

Mini-30årskrise på gang, og i pur redsel for stagnasjon fant jeg ut at jeg trenger å utvide mine horisonter ytterligere, med særlig vekt på å bli flinkere til å leke. Til vanlig er jeg en veldig strukturert person som har kontroll på det meste – vaner er min beste venn og gjør at jeg rekker… [Les mer…]
