Wow.. its been a big weekend! There will be plenty of pictures to come, but for now I need to spend a bit of time reflecting and catching up! It was my first ever Crossfit competition.. the Battle Royale 2013. Hosted here in Brunei by GETFITCrossFit for the second year. I was fortunate to be in a great team with determined and super fit athletes. (Thanks guys!!) The first day didnt go quite as I planned and I did finish feeling a little deflated. I was really disappointed in my performance in the last #wod of the day which was deadlifts and over head squats. The deadlifts were no problem but my OHS was not great!! I didnt make it through the first round and really beat myself up about it. UNTIL... I got home and talked myself through it. The weight of the OHS was a weight I have done before, but the maximum reps I had done at that weight before was 10. Well, on the day of the comp I got 12. That is a good thing, it wasnt the 15 I wanted, or needed to get to the next round but it is still better than Ive done before... THAT is a WIN! I also learnt that NO REP is the most demoralizing thing you can here mid workout, so I am going to be sure to ensure each standard is clear and in training, work super hard to make sure I can avoid as many no reps as possible. Lastly, you cant change what happens on the day... You will win some, you will lose some. SOme judges are great and fair.. Some not so much! But Im sure it all balances out in the long run, Im a big believer in what goes around comes around! Now - Onwards and upwards!! Bring on Sin City Invitationals in Singapore. Thanks to Reebok Crossfit 673 for all the help getting there! Promise to listen to the wise owl next time!! #reebokcrossfit673 #crossfit #wod #Battleroyale2013 #sincityinvitationals
