Dear CrossFit, 13.2, What A Difference A Week Makes!

Once again I am writing with chalk still on my hands and sweat still in my hair.  But this week, unlike last week, I am ecstactic with my result (169 reps).  This week was about putting my back to the clock, and focussing on one thing, KEEP MOVING.  Last week was a carefully crafted gameplan that I worked to perfection, insuring a sub-optimal performance because it didn’t allow for a spectacular performance.  Today was grit and go (and go and go and go).  Putting my back to the clock and facing the wall allowed me to stay inside my head with no distractions, and to manage the internal dialogue.  Yes I did 100% step ups and step downs, and am d*mn proud to have done so.  I am thrilled with 169 because I know there’s not one rep I left on the table. 

Can you do that?  Can you walk away from 13.2 knowing you didn’t leave anything on the table?  I hope so.  Because it’s a great feeling (even though I can’t feel my legs).

I wonder what tomorrow’s WOD will be…
