Congratulations to Kirby Groves for being the Upper Cape CrossFit Athlete of the Month for January 2018!  Kirby joined us here at UCCF back in August 2017 and has been going strong ever since.  She has dedicated herself to both the regular CrossFit classes, as well as to the Olympic Lifting classes, seeing gains everyday.  It is such a pleasure to see her smiling face walk through the door and to watch her work so hard with everything she does.  Keep up the great work, Kirby!  

How I was introduced to CrossFit: I’ve always been involved in sports. I played softball in college and was always looking for ways to stay in shape during our off seasons. I was home for summer vacation during school and my dad told me to give CrossFit a try with him. I had no idea what it was, but he kept raving about it. From there, I did it sporadically as softball was taking up most of my time. When I graduated, I was able to do it more consistently. Now I can’t imagine my life without it and I have met so many great people from it.

My favorite WOD/exercise is: It’s a tie between Grace and Annie. 

My 3 favorite movements are: Back squats, Kettlebell swings, double-unders

If I never had to do this exercise again I would be psyched: DEFINITELY the assault bike. Although now that I have been using it more, I’m starting to just embrace the suck and welcome the guarantee that I will get a great work out from it. 

My favorite food/cheat meal is: Favorite Food: Sweet Potatoes in any form. Cheat Meal: Ernestos Pizza from the North End. 

My proudest CrossFit accomplishment is: I am in the Coast Guard, so I always have to be ready to pack up and move somewhere new. I think it’s hard and sometimes intimidating to walk in to a CrossFit gym by yourself where you are unfamiliar and don’t know anyone. I am proud of being able to walk into new gyms and make it my home for the time being. When I walked in to Upper Cape, I felt so welcomed right away. I never felt like the new person and they have made my time so far in the Cape really great!

My six month goal is: My dad is pretty into crossfit as well. I hate to admit this, but he usually beats me in WODs (ugh!). Him and I have always wanted to do a partner competition together. So within the next 6 months, I would love to do that with him!

If I created a WOD:

50 double unders
25 back squats
50 double unders
25 front rack lunges
