Week 33 - 13.4... plus pictures

13.4....

            I heard what the workout was and I was excited. I did the WOD at Firebird CrossFit, and lo and behold.... I sucked! HAHA 89 reps at 6:30 in the morning was a good wake up call.

I think it's interesting at how at ease and at peace I am about sucking so bad on these WOD's. Last year I would be freaking out. I think that I am learning something important for when I come back and compete again.... That CrossFit isn't everything, and its not the end of the world if I don't PR or do phenomenal on WOD's. I think that I am also learning how to approach the Open for when I come back.... Last year I would get myself super pumped and work super hard to get into the zone and perform "OK." This year I am learning how to relax and almost not care. For example. Last weeks WOD was the repeat workout from last year where my PR was 257, but I scored 250 last week. Last year I tried to get super serious and super focused. This year, I'm out of shape, my conditioning sucks, and I woke up about half an hour before I even did the WOD. And I was only seven reps short from my PR. For a missionary that's pretty good. 

So moral of the story. Its good that I am doing the Open WOD's while I am out here on the mission because it is teaching me to relax, and perform in a very chilled, and  noncompetitive state.

But it was a super fun workout, and I will definitely be doing it again in the future.
