“YOU FOUND YOURSELF AT UTC”
In this plush, overfed part of the world that we live in, CrossFit strips us to the bone and lets us see the very marrow of our souls. And what lies there, inside of us, is not always pretty. Sometimes it is a bitter heart, or a quitter’s attitude, or a cheater’s nature. It is raw and revealed and naked. But it is us. It is who we are, who we were, and, most importantly, who we will be if we do not work harder. In that realization of our own inadequacies, however, lies our very salvation. For, within the confines of the Workout of the Day, if we’re lucky, in that moment of dedication and drive, in that frenzy of encouragement, support, and love for our fellow CrossFitters, we also catch a glimpse of our very best selves – and, if we’re observant, we see it in others too. Through our CrossFitting efforts, we see who we could become, with a little more effort, a little more honesty, and a little more courage. Just like a faster 5K time, that better self is within our grasp; if we try hard enough, if we do the work, if we believe. Try. Work. Believe.
WOD w/ 20# Dumbells> 12:59
This was a tough one, I was very happy to finish.
WHAT AN AWESOME STATEMENT ABOUT OUR JOURNEY IN CROSSFIT!!!!!!!
Nothing could be truer or get to the heart of what we do and why. Thanks, Tony!!!
With regard to today’s WOD – cheating, courage, not quitting all apply so aptly.
My effort took 21 min 25 sec. It started with 20 lb dumbbells for the first two rounds and then went to bodyweight and pvc pipe. I wanted to quit but I knew I couldn’t so I scaled down and concentrated on good form. My hat’s off to those in the class (like Scott and Lani) who persevered. You’re my model.
PS: Thanks Scott and Tony for the wise words on the knee injections. I got shots in both knees and feel SOOOOOO much better!!!!
