Tell us about your sports & fitness background:
I’ve always been a runner. Cross country was my favorite season and the mile was my event. Trail running is still one of my favorite activities.

How did you first get exposed to Strength & Conditioning? Do you remember your first WOD? How did it go?
I was first exposed to Strength & Conditioning at the 2015 east regional games. I don’t remember all the moves for my first WOD, but I remember there were pull-ups The feeling of that first WOD will never leave me- I was so frustrated at my inability to make it through! That didn’t keep me from coming back though.sarrynna 1

What sort of changes have you seen in your body, health and fitness since starting Strength & Conditioning? (before/after)
I’m stronger and more focused now. I’m more aware of my body now too.

What impact has Strength & Conditioning had on your life?
Strength & Conditioning has introduced me to so many smart and fun people. My original intent for joining CFD was to meet people since I was very new to Durham. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made since moving here, I now know many people and meet new Strength & Conditioningters everyday!

What is your favorite Strength & Conditioning/CFD moment?
Tough question- I have too many favorite moments. One of my favorites was getting my first strict pull up.
