Training “weakness”

Dave R putting out on Friday’s WOD. Great work to everyone that completed this monster!

I really love Crossfit.  I consider Crossfit my sport.  I want to get good at it, and spend alot of my free time planning my training, nutrition, looking for new tricks; trying to get better.  My goal is to qualify for the Crossfit Games.  I realize this is a long shot, but that’s ok.  I will gear my training for that goal until I give up or die.  I plan to go down swinging.  My biggest lesson from this “season” was: I am not the strongest, fastest, most athletic, etc.  Getting stronger will help me, but what I have to get good at, fighting through pain.

Friday’s workout was a perfect example.  That whole thing was uncomfortable.  No one thing was too hard or too heavy, but you had to go fast.  And going fast HURT.  And like it or not, I have to get better at hurting.

Barbell’s and bacon kind of weighs in on this subject.
