My first box jump!!!
I havent updated this much because I plateaud for quite awhile and was quite discouraged
I have been crossfitting 4 days a week in my recovery, and at this point there is little outside of jumping rope and box jumps that I cant do to some extent.
However, 2 days ago I got my first box jump. And then I added about 40 more. It was only a 16 inch box, but I overcame the fear. I’m pretty sure I could have conquered the 20 inch box but I didn’t want to push it too far. I was a little sore the next day, but it was muscular and not that burning tendon feeling. It only took 5 and a half months!
At this point I am confident in my plan to enter my first crossfit competition in July.

Congratulations! I guess the moral of the story is to keeping plugging away. It sure sounds like a roller coaster recovery. Glad that you are on the upswing again.

Sounds great, Mike — especially because it was 2 days ago, and you didn’t suffer afterwards!

Hi Mike,
Fellow crossfitter here. I tore my Achilles playing football after a crossfit session. Now I’m 6 weeks post surgery. Beginning planning going to the box…
After all this years how do you feel? Are you doing everything in crossfit? What about the right foot Achilles? Doing fine?
Thanks for your response

Hi Vitor,
I continued doing crossfit for a couple more years. Got back to normal with box jumps and even did some rebounding. I made a shift to olympic lifting and still compete in USAW. no issues with my right foot. Although my mobility is significantly better in the repaired achilles. Almost makes me wish I had blown them both out at the same time. But at this point no way I want to go through that again.
