Nin-Tai
I have no tattoo’s. I think they’re cool, but I’ve never thought of anything I care enough about to get tattooed on my body. So, I’m going to try to find cool saying or symbols that would make a good tattoo, kind of applied to the Crossfit life style.
Idea number #1. Above is the Japanese Kanji symbol for Nin-Tai. The book translation is perseverance, or endurance. Like many exact translations, something is lost. The literal meaning is something like; stoic endurance under hardship. I heard this, no joke, on a marathon of Ninja Warrior. I am a Ninja Warrior fanatic.
The WWS WODs will take place on Tuesday and Thursday. There will be another event on next Monday. If you have issues about attending on those days, post to comments and communicate with one of the coaches about a make up.
The dates for the actual WWS competitions will be Sept. 11, Sept. 18, Oct. 2, Oct. 16 and playoffs Oct. 30. That’s a commitment. I’m TOTALLY down for this. I plan on using the scores from our gyms comp to invite people on the main, RX team. We have also have great interest in a scaled team. Talking to everyone, availability on the comp dates may be an issue. Before we lock into teams, I want everyone to understand the time and monetary commitment ($600 per team, so basically $100-$150 per competitor). There are some things I don’t know, mainly: Can we juggle teams once the comp starts? When I know, you’ll know. I expect the guys at WWS will start pushing out info soon. They’re saying the response has been great; I count 11 affiliates signed up.
