DR C on the sectionals
So sectionals are finished, thank the good Lord above! Not that I didn’t
enjoy the WOD’s, I did.
But at the forsaking the regular WOD’s, not sure how that will be in the
long run.
Lessons learned from the sectionals, oh yeah, a flippin ton.
How about every XF weakness was not only exposed but magnified, I redefined
tired in my own sense.
Too many times I found myself waking up with an elevated heart rate on the
days I did the sectional WOD.
Stomach aches and emotional fatigue were at an all time high.
I’ve learned that technique can trump strength.
Mental indulgence only goes so far.
Every body has a different “crazy switch”
One person’s score can motivate me go farther.
JD, Vinny and Matt actually know what they’re talking about.
Gunny is a quiet stud, so is PFP.
JD drops pearls of wisdom far greater than his admonition “to bring the
ruler to dick measuring contest”
Mondary is a closet motivator
Hazmat loves to see the suffering in others, out of respect of course.
48 years old is obviously not a deterrent for the other 48 yo that kicked my
ass!
We have some real “beasts” in our box.
Screw overhead squats, double-unders and to hell with muscle ups.
Every one who participated got better as a crossfitter and made me better.
I also realized the XF Games website was troubled.
I have an addiction I’m not willing to seek treatment for.
I’m glad to be a member of Motorcity CrossFit.
So, when are the regional’s?
*******What we know so far*******
The regionals are being held June 10.11 and 12 in Columbus Ohio. It appears that MCCF has qualified for the Team event and will be sending a team down. Last year the team event was held on Friday, the individual on Saturday and then the best from both finish on Sunday. It is unknown if that format will be followed but there is a good chance.
We found a house for rent that sleeps 10-12, let us know if you are interested in going ASAP so we can rent the crib. I would encourage anybody who has never been to a big event like this to attend even if only as a spectator.
Post your comments about sectional and if you would like in on the house.
Ha! Good post Doc! And for the record, I did steal the ‘dick measuring contest’ analogy from Dave Castro himself. Dave is the CFHQ Director of Training.
Well said, Doc. C. I mentioned this on FB the other day, but as a new guy I feel I’ve grown a lot by competing. I didn’t expect to do well, but I’ve grown a great deal…and it’s very exciting.
I’m interested in going, but need to check my work schedule for June tomorrow.
I agree Doc! It was a great six weeks, however, I’m ready to get back to our regular workouts. In my case, I can’t wait to see what next year brings. I hope to master the movements that held me back this year and to be even stronger. I am equally as excited to see how everyone else grows throughout the year.
I was all signed up and ready to cheer you guys on during regionals, however, I had to cancel. My daughters recital dates were announced last week and she dances both Friday and Saturday. I expect lots of updates on facebook and the site because now I’ll be cheering for you guys from home!
