    Vic -

    Thinking about powering up for this weekend, it occurred to me that you’re doing 3 WODs and might benefit from some anti-inflammatory foods to get through.

    Try good-for-you fats: olive, walnut oils. And lots of fish/nuts – Omega 3s are great anti-inflammatory agents. As are berries and other fresh fruits.

    So, for night before/morning of, I’d go grilled salmon with asparagus and yogurt with blueberries/agave nector for dessert. Morning of, go oat meal (Trader Joe’s does a mean 8 minute steel-cut version that’s incredibly good for you) with bananas, blue berries, honey, and almonds.

    And coffee. Lots.

    Better than good luck. Best luck.

    MMMM, maybe I should go to sectionals. I’d suck at the WODs but that menu is like nirvana for me!

    From the CrossFit Affiliates site on competing in the Sectionals from a woman’s perspective…as a father, husband and former hs/college athlete, I found this incredibly inspiring:

    It has been 12 years since I traveled home from what I assumed at the time to be my last foray into legitimate athletic competition. Sure, I would do some fun runs, maybe a marathon or triathlon here or there. But this would be my last opportunity to feel like a contender; like a competitive athlete versus a recreational one. It was time for me to grow up. Since then I have gotten married and had two children. I have worked, paid mortgages, and cleaned the house. I traded in two-a-days for trips to the park or a chance to finally catch up the laundry. I retired into married life and motherhood. I cannot blame my husband or my kids. Much of the mental transformation occurred long before I met John. I thought it was inevitable. Then in June of 2006, I walked into CrossFit San Diego and began the resurrection of my past self.

    We live in an enlightened age when it comes to the societal expectations of women, yet still we fight against ourselves. Ask most working moms if they experience daily guilt about taking their children to daycare. Ask any mother what her goals are and see how far down the list she gets before she says something that doesn’t have to do with taking care of her family. Ask most moms if they are athletes and most of them would say no. But, I think this is beginning to change.

    I believe our primary objective as parents is to instill in our children a sense of responsibility to be a positive force in the world and then give them the tools to accomplish it. I believe we achieve this by showing them that we are not afraid to work hard for something; that we are not afraid to work hard for something and fail, sometimes repeatedly, before we conquer it. We will get pull-ups, muscle-ups, climb a rope, get the job, clear the debt, get the promotion, buy the house. We will succeed because we are not so paralyzed by fear of failure that we fail to try.

    I was fortunate to compete alongside Kristine this past weekend. The mental toughness that she displayed was mirrored by many of the “older” women in the competition. A calm acceptance of the pain that was to come and the realization that it would not last. We are women who have learned that we are limited only by our own expectations. That we can be mothers, wives, workers, and sometimes many more things in a day without using it as an excuse to give up on ourselves. As we warmed up for that final heat, some of us talked about the value of this accomplishment for us as role models to our children; but more importantly, in that moment, the value of this accomplishment for us as women, as individuals, as athletes, and on this day, as contenders.

    Thanks for the encouraging words everybody. I’ll do my best to represent my peeps.

    I went to trader Joe’s and Fairway today to fuel up. I bought most of the things on your suggested list. I have raw almonds and alvacadoes for fat, beef jerky and turkey jerky for snacks, plus the ezekial bread, almond butter and honey sandwiches for snacks.

    Since Tyler goes to school in Montclair, I think we will get together for lunch. Most likely Shashimi at a sushi place. I will most certainly be eating copious portions of berried oatmeal in the morning.

    The best part of this whole competition thing is….THERE ARE NO WEIGH INS!!! As a former wrestler, I can wait to see what I can do with some food in me.

    Remember, coffee is your friend.

    We can’t wait either.
