Some say you should do one thing that scares you daily. I’m all for it, but who has time? I am, however, always pushing past things that scare me. I am currently focusing on competing at the Central FL Throwdown. Hi, yes it’s crossfit related. What isn’t? Chelsea is competing as well, and she is just as nervous as I am. We are competing in the scaled division, and we are going to nail it!
I guess there is a term called “sandbagging” which is used to define people who could do the competition Rx (as prescribed) but want to win rather than push themselves harder so they enter the Sx (scaled) instead. Which means they smash the rest of us. I’ve decided I’m not too worried about those people. I am there to push through my fear of competing. I am good enough for this. That’s life. There will always be someone ready to take you on head first, but the journey you take to prepare yourself is far more fun than not trying. Unless it includes running.
My weaknesses for the Sx are pullups, jump rope, and squats. I have kipping pullups in small numbers so I am working on strict ones with a band to increase my strength. I am some days just not coordinated for the jump rope. Mental block. When it comes to the squats..well, my hips are just tight! So those are my focuses. Yay, no running!!!
I found something that scares me currently, and it’s going to be a challenge both mentally and physically, but I am beyond confident that this is going to be a blast! Especially if I wear my “wacky Wednesday” outfit like I did tonight. (It’s spirit month at our box.) See picture below.
I won today 🙂 hehe
Enjoy life, take chances, and be confident in yourself!
