Dear CrossFit, 13.4, Toes to Hands Are Not Toes To Bar

I could post 43 reps for 13.4.  I could.  But I’m not going to.  It doesn’t feel right.  I apologize to everyone who helped me today.  People were really trying, helping me with the movement and with my head.  And in some way I feel like I’m letting you down.  But I’m not.  I’m respecting your help and your effort.

I’m going to post 3 reps.  Why?  Because I’m pretty sure my feet touched my hands on all the T2B that counted today.  I had about a dozen no-reps when I whiffed and my feet missed the bar completely, but I had 18 reps that counted.  But now, as I think about it, they don’t count.  They don’t count because I’m not sure my feet hit the bar between my hands.  I am pretty sure they hit my hands instead.

Part of me wants to post 43 reps.  But another part, the part I have to live with, that b*stard called integrity is going to post 3.  They are 3 hard-earned, legit, “I am proud of” reps.  Any more than that would disrespect the 7 minutes of hell I saw one athlete go through today trying to get one 95# C&J.  You’ll get it, you’re very close.  And I’ll get a legit T2B, and we’ll both be the better for it.

I wonder what tomorrow’s WOD will be…

I could post 43 reps for 13.4, but I’m not going to.  I’m going to get a legit T2B one day, and when I do I’ll let you all know.  Today wasn’t that day.
