Lisbeth!

True.

I thank god every day for the first time I stepped into a ring (chinese kick boxing) with a guy that DIDN’T want me to succeed. I got the shit kicked out of me that day, and it was ‘the first day of the rest of my life’!
I thank god for my first year of Judo, when I got thrown on my head, should, back and butt dozens of times every Monday, Wednesday and Friday night. Rarely getting to return the favor to any of my training partners.
I thank god for BJJ, that showed me that my ground game, though decent compared to some judoka, wasn’t shit.
Finally, I thank Crossfit. For making me have experiences like this every week. Still. I have been doing O lifts, KBs and other crap for years. I have been running an affiliate for over a year. In spite of all this experience, knowledge or expertise, I still have workouts on a regular basis that remind me of how much further I have to go before I don’t suck.
Every time I face the decision of whether or not to remain mediocre, and I make the right one, I am so glad that I found Crossfit, and more importantly that I have the opportunity to share it!
I sincerely hope that all I do is get lots of people to try this, so that they too have that ‘truth serum’ moment.

Thanks Lisbeth, great post!

Great post!! I train at Crossfit Fire in Lakemoor, IL with Jennie & Bill Yundt and Zach Mitchell. They teach us to push through the suck, to soldier on with our fellow Crossfitters, and to emerge victorious on the other side of every workout we do.

And I couldn’t agree more, what you do at Crossfit carries over to every other aspect of your life.

Again, great post!!

Hmm. I had a meeting lined up at 5:00, but I can’t pass up a Rockstar WOD. The Joint Chiefs can wait.

Sue beat me to it, but yeah, Becky… you are one badass chic! You dug deep, and it was amazing. To me, something like that is so much more meaningful and impressive than a 2 minute Fran or whatever (though a 2 minute fran is pretty damn impressive too).

I was ready to swoop in for post workout hug – you looked like you needed one – but Barry had it covered and he is bigger than me.

Rock on.

Otherwise, I am with Mike – my wrists didn’t like that. Now by any means I am not saying the weight was not an issue (oh, it was), but damn, I was having some serious grip issues on them HPC’s!
