13.2 in the books

Congratulations to everyone who threw down 13.2!  It looked easy on paper but it was a lot more challenging than expected for most.  I know that a few of us were sick or had injuries going into it.  But remember, you did the workout, you did not quit and that shows a lot of mental strength.

I waited until the last day to complete the workout because I started to get sick on Wednesday and no it was not from seeing the Open wod 😉  When I saw this workout I actually was very excited because it should have been a good one for me and I was excited to crush it with the morning ladies on Friday.   I wanted to say a special thanks to Sam for his chat right after I completed the workout because I think everyone can learn from it.  Sam brought up my spirits after the workout by reminding me that if I can push through a workout as hard as I possibly can when I can’t breath, have a raw throat and no energy,  it makes me stronger.  Think of how many people would have just quit because it is easier to?  How many people would just make excuses the whole workout to not push hard?   Think about that….  If you can push through a workout at your worst,  think about the times that you are on the top of your game….  Maybe you could push harder?  I know that I will remember this situation the next time I am in a challenging workout. I will remember how tough the first round felt today, which is usually how challenging some workouts feel at the middle or end, depending on what they are.  If you were in this situation this week or have been before, you should congratulate yourself for being a hero for giving it your all,  and try to remember it for the future when workouts get tough.

If you were not at the top of your game,  think about all of the thousands of athletes are doing the Open,  are they all at the top of their game every workout?  Probably not!  They are all analyzing the workout in their heads and thinking about what could have be done better.  So please try to stop analyzing the workouts after.  All that can be asked of you is… “Did I do the best, that I could do today?”  And the circumstances should not matter in this question.

Do you remember a post that AJ found awhile ago about how athletes have off days and you can’t expect to be on the top of your game everyday and hit PR’s?  Maybe this is a good time to take a read again….

You should all be proud of you for doing the Open!  It makes you stronger physically and mentally.

  1. that is an interesting thing about cf and the open in particular. you can have the crappiest workout of your life and you look around and all your friends are there supporting you, cheering for you and smiling.
    ome of them even keep you up-sorry marie-eve, i didn't know you were going to fall on the floor, will try to catch you next time!

  2. Thanks for the shout out Dee, you did really well this weekend.
    Also well done A.J for PRing wod 13.2 even though things got a bit emotional around the 6 min mark, you dug deep and succeeded. “Hero badge” for you.

  3. My oldest two may be in school next year or we may do a
    highly regarded online program (Keystone) that a few friends of ours have been
    using and speak highly of. This program authorized Fannie Mae and
    Freddie Mac to provide a three-year, temporary letter of credit to state
    housing finance agencies for their outstanding
    variable rate demand obligations. Monterrey: Jonathan Orozco, Severo Meza
    (Humberto Suazo, 62′), Ricardo Osorio, Hiram Mier, José Basanta, Darvin Chávez, Luis Ernesto Pérez, Walter Ayoví, Nery Cardozo (Angel Reyna, 62′), César Delgado (Jesús
    Zavala, 66′), Aldo de Nigris. Kelvin, however, managed to find a way to squeeze one into my life. Additionally, the PPB factory in Freetown, Sierra Leone started industrial-scale production in April 2009 and has produced food for and helped to treat several thousand children.

  4. At ting bare ble bedre. seconds after learning that a U.
    S. These kids will be able to survive when the SHTF and commerce is dead.
    Quick and comfortable on the ball. But as
    I now think of it, these would make great names for drinks….

  5. If any money does come to the Treasury as a result of the program because of refusal to

    participate or to comply, that money would

    go directly back to the particular State from which it came

    to fund energy-efficiency programs. You can work. ??? ?????, ?????, ?????? ?????????? ???????????? ????????? ? ????????? ??????? ??? ????????? ?? ?????

    He’d basically had lived a very restricted life and continued to do so as an adult, and if there is

    one thing I do not do is restrict myself or my choices, I like to indulge and go a

    bit crazy, and get trough life on a lot of caffeine and adrenaline,

    good times and whatever foods comes with that! a thing).

  6. My knees were never the same after that session. The US11/EU45 was a little snug in the toe box, but a size
    up was too loose. I certainly learned about homeschooling and unschooling
    mostly thru online resources that might later lead me to recommended books which I mostly
    had to buy online since they weren’t often available in bookstores. The silk chiffon was also dyed with a natural mineral dye, which is OSHA approved. It wasn’t a gift.

  7. The trend is upward for people helping others. They come back out with
    plates full of different tropical fruits and we sit down on our outdoor table and
    fill ourselves with our energy food (as the kids call it).
    The fact that the top 1% took a massive hit is very comforting to most if they know about it but its very tricky to disseminate the information. As if by magic, a commercial break was just coming up on the show, so just like a “real” talk show the band started to play into the break. CCTV-3 (?? ????) is an arts and entertainment channel of the CCTV.

  8. This family visit ends with him playing the piano for her, with all the imagery of
    an over-dramatic 80?s music video. To be able to have you as the floor general with the talent mentioned above would instantly make Australia a medal contender
    and you would have the honour to be a leader on
    a team that potentially does something unprecedented in Australian Men’s Olympic Basketball history.
    Só nos resta esperar para ver o que a Ubisoft
    está preparando para os fans da saga. I don’t have a lot of contacts in Carles but it’s always quite easy to go to Tourism
    Offices in Iloilo  and inquire about Carles if ever you’re interested
    in visiting. Imádkozom érted, hogy lelj lelki nyugalomra.

  9. So they are not garbage! Elle s’est même faite dépasser par Nord Béarn, facile vainqueur de Lons le week-end dernier (46-6). Endra said SAMAS this year aims to introduce a Bike to School program among junior high school students in Denpasar, most of whom already drive their own motorbikes despite not having driver’s licenses because they are still underage. The legs of the birds were fastened to swivel stakes and straps so they could walk free. “A continuing investigation is needed to identify the identity of the person or persons involved in creating the alleged birth certificate forgery, and to determine who, if anyone, in the White House or the state of Hawaii may have authorized the forgery,” Arpaio added.

  10. Ask us to stand beside you in solidarity. In gegensatz
    zu meinen etwas älteren Bravia LCD(KDL 40S4000) der reagiert selbst mit eingeschalteten Bildverbesserungen sofort und habe eine höhere Trefferquote!
    And what a difference a war makes at the University of California, Berkeley.
    The show created a wonderful end to the evening. I know, I know, that’s merely
    a drop in the bucket compared to the money you guys grifted from
    old ladies today, but every little bit helps, and I would gladly declare war on the Catholic church.

  11. I adore fantasy, science-fiction, literary fiction, poetry and short stories, in fact
    my tastes are wildly eclectic in books, music and
    films. I am always impressed with the creative things being done in libraries.
    Tapi pada saat musim panas datang, maka mulailah fenomena
    ajaib ini. Jem finds the place where burned things go, compartmentalized
    inside the chimneys. I wouldn’t have said it either, but it’s to me, not
    the real point..

  12. Will you be capable of guidebook myself for your web marketer or the man whom looks after your blog, I must determine it will be possible to be a guest poster.
