Ashlyn Harris never expected to find the love of her life on the other side of the continent. Better yet, she never expected it to be another professional athlete. Her relationship with Brooke will test her personal and professional boundaries as sh...
We get to CrossFit Humanity, and the owners greet us as we walk in. The gym is huge, a nice change from my local affiliate. "Thank you so much for letting us come in on such short notice!" I say to them "No problem, it's always wonderful to have a pro athlete come in!" they reply.
"So, are we just supposed to do whatever we want or?" Asks Ashlyn as we put our gear down and get ready for the training session. "Totally up to you guys. If you want to join in on what I'm doing that cool, but you might have to scale it." I reply. Most of the girls nod and say they want to do the same workout as me. I immediately head to the assault bike to warm up. Then I go to the whiteboard and write the workout I'm going to do. Jay sent me my training program. Today's workout is 15-12-9-6-3 reps for time of: Dumbbell hang clean and jerks (35 lbs), Weighted pull-ups. As soon as I finish writing the workout I hear some groans.
"You guys haven't even done the workout and you're already groaning?" I ask playfully. "Why do we have to do weighted pull-ups?" Asks Alex. "Because" I reply. "Everyone ready?" I ask as soon as everyone has their dumbells and is preparing to face the workout. I hear a consistent sound of "yes" right before the clock starts. "Good! Because time starts NOW!" I yell as everyone starts on their dumbbell hang clean and jerks.
After the workout everyone is pooped except for me. Sure, I'm tired but that's just the beginning of my training session. I give myself 2 minutes to rest before I start working on some dumbbell technique. "How are you doing more?!?" Ashlyn asks quizzically as I'm working on my push presses. I turn around and smirk, then continue working. Some of the girls take my lead and do more exercises and after about 2 hours, everyone is ready to leave and get ready for tonight's event.
Alex somehow managed to book me a room in the hotel she and the team are staying at so as everyone heads in, I bring my suitcase and gym bag with me.
As I get to my room, I hear a couple notifications go off on my phone.
