We made it through 16 of the last set of wbs

First of all, I had so much fun!  I wasn't sure how I would like competing.  Turns out I really enjoyed it.  It helped to feel prepared and be able to do all the wods.  We only placed 20/28 but had a couple finishes at 16.  The 45 snatches and the day 2 wod were our best finishes.  Worst was the first one, we placed 21st.  It was cool how well my body held up.  I'm used to way more volume than this and was just mildly sore.  I even went for a 20 mile mountain bike ride on Monday.  Already looking for another comp ;).  Thanks for helping me make this dream of doing an Rx competition come true!
