MARCH 2011 - JON CREE
When did you first become part of CrossFit JAX?
I started around August or September of 2010. I heard about it through a buddy of mine from the SAR school, so I came and checked it out. I wanted to get into shape to do EOD for the Navy, and I immediately knew it was a good fit. Ironically enough that buddy of mine doesn’t even do it.
What was your first WOD?
I can’t remember what it was called, but it was kettlebell swings, wall ball shots and pull-ups. I started the WOD using prescribed weight, but that only lasted approximately 10 kettlebell swings. It took me about five minutes longer than everyone else, and it was only a four minute workout.
What’s your favorite WOD?
The first hero WOD that I ever completed as prescribed is a favorite. I can’t remember the name, but it was heavy power cleans, kettlebell swings and box jumps. I was pumped to have “Rx” next to my name.
What is your least favorite WOD?
Anything with overhead squats!!
What is your favorite lift?
Snatch.
How do you choose which days to come to the box?
I come every day that I don’t have duty. I’m in here every chance I get.
How about your nutrition?
Well, I did the “45 Days in the Cave” Paleo challenge in February, and I’m still on Paleo now. I have trouble gaining weight though, so I modify it a little bit. I don’t want to lose any more weight, so I eat more of some things. I have cheat days, but I can really feel it when I do, so it’s not too often. I just feel better when I’m on Paleo.
How has CFJAX changed your life?
I think it’s just made me more positive. Everyone here has such a positive attitude. I work on the ship and it can be a little depressing; everyone hates their job! So it’s nice to come here and be around people who are encouraging and supportive. It makes me do the best I can in the WODs, too.
Who do you stalk on the whiteboard?
Well, everyone really. But I usually look at Doug’s or Nate’s scores specifically. I look at Caleb’s too, but I’ve never come close to him. I like to see who has the highest or best score of the day.
