We are please to announce the Athlete of the Month for May is Jackie Moyse-Parkes. Jackie has been a member of UCCF since March 2017 and brought with her optimism, a sense of humor, dedication, and determination. She enters the box with a smile and continues to push herself from one challenge to the next. She asks questions, listens to her coaches, and grows because of it. This girl never quits, never gives up and pushes as hard as she can. An example of this would be that as much as she dislikes running, she will come in and look forward to tackling any Wod that has a run in it. Jackie should be as proud of herself as we are!
How was I introduced to CrossFit: When I moved into a neighborhood in DC there was a CrossFit Gym right down the street. Every time I walked by, the workout looked like so much fun. So I thought what the heck and gave it a try...I was instantly addicted because, well, I love dropping heavy things and the people are amazing.
My Favorite WOD/exercise is: My favorite WOD is Marguerita because you can do it at home when you can't quite get to the gym.
My 3 favorite movements are: Deadlifts (because I LOVE dropping heavy things), handstand push-ups (because though I can't do one without an AbMat, I can still gauge improvement), and Rope Climbs (always a challenge).
If I never had to do this exercise again I would be psyched: Used to be running, but now that just brings out determination, so I guess it's jump rope (many of you do DU, but I still work on my SU).
My favorite cheat food/meal is: ICE CREAM!!!
My proudest CrossFit accomplishment is: My 315 Deadlift
My six month goal is: Complete the Falmouth Road Race.
If I created a WOD and named it after myself, the workout would be: Deadlifts and handstand push-ups.
