Thursday 24 January

It's Thursday Profile Day again!  So today we're talking to CFNZ superstar, Carol Morrison.

How long have you been a member at CFNZ?  I completed my intro February this year – so, not far till the one year anniversary!

How did you end up walking through our doors for the first time?  Was there a pivotal event that led you to us?  I had been going to bootcamp and doing a bit of running however decided I needed something more and was aware of Crossfit NZ – checked out your website and thought that it sounded just like the challenge I was looking for.

Inov8's, Converse, or Reebok training shoes?  Currently I am training in my Nike Free runners – they are great – shame about the colour though.

Can you remember your first workout?  What was it like?  A serious adrenalin pump and was blown out at the end even though Jojo had prepared us well for what lay ahead.

What tunes do you like working out to? I am a rocker from way back and a good rock song seems to intensify the workout – makes it more enjoyable!!!

What has been one of the biggest things in your life that has changed since starting CrossFit? Crazily enough I now feel I’m invincible – everything is achievable “Take every opportunity and give it your best shot” is my new mantra.

What are you doing when you aren't CrossFitting?  Career, hobbies etc:  I work for Fletcher Living, building terrace homes at Stonefields – a job I have had for 11 years – I love it and get such a buzz out of putting our purchasers into their new homes.  I enjoy running – trails and half marathons.  Skiing is my winter passion and with a daughter in Queenstown I have every excuse to visit often.  Loving my extended family – they are awesome.

Is there a CFNZ member who inspires you?  The coaches – Darren, Amanda, Craig, Mikey, -  amazing – and the interns – all so encouraging and Atalay – for making me run faster.  And the whole community – just so many reasons to keep coming back and doing my damnnest.

What achievement at CFNZ are you most stoked about?   Squats Squats Squats – all types of squats – after 9 months I am almost there.

What would you like to have achieved at CrossFit NZ a year from now? Squats, Pullups, HSPU, lifting heavier weights, mastering technique/full range of motion/flexibility – I want it all!!!!!!
