I'm calling Rochester my home for the next two weeks. About 2 weeks before I left Houston I emailed the owner of Crossfit Rochester and asked him if I could join his gym for my duration here. His immediate response was "come in and kick ass" , which I loved because that sounds exactly what my coaches would say to a transplant joining our gym for a few weeks.
I love the gym, it fits every stereotype of how I imagined, namely the thick new york / jersey / sounds like everyone is talking with peanut butter in their mouth accents. The biggest challenge I'm facing at this gym is the pressure I'm putting on myself to represent Pin Up Crossfit and the city of Houston in general. Another challenge is getting over the stomach bug I got from eating airport food, which reaffirms my decision TO NEVER EAT AT AN AIRPORT EVER AGAIN. It's been two days of absolute bathroom misery. Sorry for "going there", but with this blog you have to take the good with the bad. I'm hoping that eating cleanly, drinking a lot of water, and plenty of rest will cure me of this bug.
