CROSS-fit #119 Crossfit Games 2013

So that's a wrap folks
The Crossfit Games Opens have finally come to a close.
It's the second year I'm giving this a shot.
The second time my ego has been shoved back to me, the second time I've been humbled big time.
The second time I've fallen and come back stronger.

Similar mistakes were made. My weaknesses from last year are well, still the same this year.
I gotta admit, some weaknesses have become lesser of a weakness.
Most of them still remain though.
In other words, just like last year, a good portion of the Opens SUCKED.
It was painful, bad and just a terrible experience for some parts (It got better towards the third week though)
Competing isn't exactly my best forte but I do so to expose my weaknesses.
It does suck, however, to realize that my weaknesses have never gotten better.

So what now?
After failing TWICE, what now?
(I gotta admit, it was less of a failure and I know some Crossfitters are raising their fists saying "We are never failures!" etc. But it's a reality, I didn't do as well as I expected to.)
After going through the entire opens again, learning about weaknesses and mental roughness.
What now....

They say it's okay to make mistakes, just don't make them again.
So I've made my mistakes last year.
Sadly, similar circumstances happened again this year..

But stay, stay and fight.
Cause at the end of the day, that's all you have.
Nobody is asking you to break your records daily, nobody is asking you to ALWAYS be better than yesterday.
Yes it is an ideal situation for all of us to be rapidly improving and becoming better people.
But come on....
Be human, recognize that you're not always better at times.
But don't stop trying to be.
God never set us out to be perfect people from the get go.
It's a little sad but....
We're never going to be perfect like Jesus, it's a fact, we never are.
But what matters is that we don't stop trying to be.
We don't stop trying to be better than yesterday.

Keep your head up, keep going.
For a good 99% of the Crossfit Community.
The 2014 Crossfit Games season has just started.
Game On.
