Why do I CrossFit????

CrossFit is not a job its a lifestyle and we hear that all the time but it really needs to be taken as one. The main reasons i started to CrossFit in the first place was the competitive feel, the variety of WODs, the warm culture, but most of all it was fun to me. I thrive in doing the extremely difficult with a group of like minded masochists like myself. The crazy madness of a WOD is addicting like some Fruit Punch Spark...heyoo!! Fitness is not meant to be boring....we are meant to test our physical boundaries in fun and creative ways. Not just a simple routine we do cause we have to, but because we love it. During the open, I ate, slept, breathed, the OPEN. Its all I would think about...Whats the WOD gonna be this week??? I wonder if my carb intake was correct this week??? Why in the hell would they give us 7min of Burpees??? lol. The open turned into a job and the pressure of moving to 30th, then 70th, then back to 54th, then dropping out of the top 60. I was on a mental roller coaster that had completely worn me out. Instead of taking the time to say, Hey I did a 125 Burpees in 7min!! I was thinking about the 3 I had no rep-ed and why I just didn't do another rep in the final seconds and I would of moved up another 10 spots in the rankings. I was not having fun and it affected my mood and performance. This Sport is all about doing what you think is impossible, testing yourself daily, and having fun doing it. I had forgotten the number #1 reason I WOD....its to have a hell of a time with people I care for, and enjoy the crazy chaos that is CrossFit. Athletes, (Yes y'all are athletes :)...especially those who have been with us for some time. Remember why you do this and don't let this Sport turn into something you have to do. Always keep a smile on your face and take your victories in the box as a great accomplishment as you move forward. Cause you could be staring at a treadmill watching the calories go by.(Bad memories) Keep the fun in it and take pride in what you have accomplished.
