Congratulations to Megan Wolansky on
winning CSC's Sweatiest Angel award for the month of August! The
Sweatiest Angel award is given each month to a CSC member who displays
significant work ethic, a willingness to support others and a true sense
of camaraderie inside the gym.
How long have you been doing CrossFit?
My first WOD was at CLE with Pat (her brother) and Coach Jeff on St. Patrick's Day in 2012. I remember doing 65 lb push press and bear crawl. I got done and ran 3 miles because I felt like I needed more cardio. I couldn't move my arms for the next 5 days....and signed up at CrossFit Akron a month later.
What do you do when you are not at CSC?
Working full-time during the week as a nurse/clinical instructor and doing grad school homework on the weekends. When I'm not a complete nerd, I'm probably teaching Bernie a cool trick with Mike, having doggy play dates, or taking pictures of my cat, Jack.
When did you realize CrossFit was for you?
I was looking for a strength training program while training for marathons because I wanted to get some type of muscle on my body. I was clueless in the gym, and liked having some guidance because I was getting nowhere on my own.
What is your favorite WOD/movement?
Favorite movements are pistols, snatch and swinging on the rings.
What is your LEAST favorite WOD/movement?
Deadlifts and wall balls.
One thing you've done at CSC you never thought you would do?
Buy a lot of Kill Cliff, NOOMA & RX Bars.
What motivates you during a WOD?
C4, a lot of it. J/K. I try to ignore everyone else during the workout, zone out, focus on myself and try to stay at the same pace throughout the entire WOD.
What advice would you give someone just starting CrossFit?
For 2 or more rounds, ALWAYS use chips. Also, don't sell yourself short. Your body can handle way more than your mind thinks it can.
