CROSS-fit #30 What is it?

The weights shifted.
The body just ain't ready for it.
I haven't got enough sleep.
There're a thousand and one reasons why you fail.
But really, what is it?
I guess you could easily shove it aside and say that you had a bad back.
Or the workout was just not in your favour.
But this IS crossfit isn't it?
To be trained in all possible domains and specialize in not one but all modals of fitness.

So what is it?
There has to be a reasonable explanation as to why you didn't finish fast enough.
Why you let your fellow athlete overtake you at the last stretch.
We can attribute it to so many external factors.
But seriously?

Give it a break and face it.

It's you, you didn't make it. You weren't strong enough there and then.

It isn't simple condemnation which could get you up into a higher position, no.
It's humility, to tell yourself that, this was my doing.
The workout was all me, and all of me wasn't good enough.
So try again, train harder.
Then get BACK AT IT!
Don't give excuses for the WOD, for your own life.
Face it, man up and own it.
