I am a 52 year old mom of 3 who has been doing CrossFit for almost 2 years. I very nervously and apprehensively registered for the Open last year, knowing that there were movements that I could not do (ie. pull ups and T2B). It was a daunting experience but at the end of the 5 weeks, I had done my first ever 10 T2B and completed 14.5 in 25:58. The encouragement of my coach and surrounding community was a constant motivating factor for me. Today, I walked into my box, Coexiste CrossFit and saw 14.5 written on the white board with a TC of 22 mins. I was so tempted to turn around and go home because I remembered how brutal and unforgiving that WOD was and then I thought maybe I should scale to finish in the TC but of course, my 8:00am crew and coach, Steve Goffman, said that that was not an option. So with 65 lbs on my bar, I resigned myself to not finish in the TC but to get close. 19:28 mins later, I was done! My mantra for today and always, Never too old to get better. And I am still working on getting that first pull up :) - Maki Kusano #SilverBack
