So like most crossfitters, I eagerly await for the WOD to be posted for the next day. Last night I clearly didn’t see the weights very well but I did see a lot of rope climbs. Now I won’t even touch the ropes, so I was prepared for pull-up and push ups instead.
When I got to the gym today, I practiced my tripods…slowly staying longer which is progress. Than Dean went over the WOD. He explained that each round the weight should go up which I had been confused about. Than he explains that if you can’t rope climb, feel free to use the cargo net and he doesn’t care if you go up all the way, half way or 3/4 way up. Well, i said, WTH….go for it. I went to the cargo net and was nervous. Very nervous.
One step and another step and I realized I was climbing. I got about 3/4 of the way up that first time. I knew that it was going to take my upper body strength out of me climbing so I started going about 1/2 way up. I almost fell off a few times as fellow athletes were climbing off/on the rope. At one point I was almost facing the opposite direction. Now each time I climbed, I used the cargo net that Dean had angled. I tried the one going straight up and down once, but freaked out. But each time, I gained more confidence on the net.
The cleans were pretty easy. 55, 765. 95, 95, and I failed at 105. I wasn’t upset that I failed at 105 because I couldn’t get my hips into it plus I was still coming off of the high of climbing the cargo net ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP!! I thought it was crazy that I did that, but once again, I conquered a fear!! I looked down and realized how far I had come both literally and figuratively.
I really don’t know where I would be in my life if it wasn’t for crossfitting. I wouldn’t have been pushing myself daily for the last 18 months, that’s for sure. I still have fears. and sucks, but day by day….I’m Being Better Than YEsterday!!! Now I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
Now food wise….weak today but I wasn’t expecting to be at appointments as long as I was today. I drank 70 ounces of water. Stretched for about 20 minutes post wod too.
