April 2017 Goals

Fitness and Nutrition

CrossFit Goal: 62/200 WODs. I did 13 WODs this month, including the Loganville Lockdown competition with my girl Amy.

This is me during every workout ever - shirtless, tummy out, mouth wide open.

Frostbite 2014

Everyone should compete as a team at least once. I had originally signed up to volunteer at Frostbite 2014 to support Denis and Anthony's team, but found out that I was actually a member of that team. We asked Katrina to be our fourth and Team When Hell Freezes Over was born.

I'm carrying Anthony while Denis is performing the reverse med ball toss. Katrina, not shown, is rowing.

When Hell Freezes Over at Frostbite 2014

Team "When Hell Freezes Over" came in 9th place out of 21 scaled teams at Frostbit 2014. I love these guys and couldn't ask for better teammates!

Thank you to all the coaches at CFHK, especially to Anthony and Stephen for all the time you have spent working with me, and Danielle for being there today to encourage and sharing your expertise when I really needed it!

A very special thank you to Chad Syniec, an amazing CrossFit Central LI coach, who has welcomed me to Olympic Lifting Sunday and taught me so much about lifting, strength, and believing in my potential. I couldn't have made it through WODs 2 and 3 without you!

Almost Time for Frostbite

Tomorrow is my first CrossFit competition - Frostbite 2014. I am nervous, anxious, and extremely excited. My bag is packed, my outfit is laid out, and I ate an entire pint of ice cream. I hope I don't let my team down and deep down, I really hope we win the scaled division.

Dear CrossFit Gods,
Thank you for the weather forecast because this is going to be the toastiest Frostbite yet. Please help me to keep my head in the game and the passion I have for CrossFit in my heart. Aaaand, I'd be forever grateful if you could ensure that there's at least 6 photos where my ass looks great and I'm not making a stupid face.Sincerely,Alessandra Echeverria 

and EVERYBODY knows that if you pray to the CrossFit Gods hard enough, Greg Glassman answers.

Titles

I think I definitely win the title of Looks Most Adorable When Hungover.

I also won the title of Worst Wallballs 21 days into 2014. 

My next title better be 1st place scaled. I am officially registered to compete on a co-ed scaled team of four at the Frostbite 2014 on February 22. I have one month to get good at wallballs and give up drinking. Wish me luck.
