It's less than a week away...
It's the time of the year yet again.
The Opens!
This year, however, was slightly different.
After last November, the shoulder was quite out of action.
So it really dealt quite a big blow to be physically as well as emotionally.
Strength wise, i wasn't able to do very much for my upper body.
Mentally, I just somehow lost a whole lot of spirit.
Then for some amazing miraculous reason, I started to recover, FAST.
One and a half months ago, I was pretty sure, I wouldn't be in the running for the Opens.
Weights being pulled were simply not there yet.
However, right now, I'm just a couple of pounds shy of my previous maxes.
Which in turn translates to my shoulders pretty much being at a 100%.
So yes, just a week ago, I signed up for the opens.
Unprepared. Completely unprepared.
I signed up for the Opens.
Why? I mean, I haven't been really focusing and dialing down the extra metcons.
I haven't been working as intensely as previous years.
So why bother?
I realized that at the end of the day, the CrossFit Games is really gonna be a test of my fitness.
Right here, right now, how fit am I?
How capable am I of certain tasks? No matter my current physical state.
But that's life isn't it?
There isn't gonna be any big sign boards telling you to prepare for a big ordeal coming your way.
It just happens.
And when it does, how're you gonna respond to that?
Are you gonna face up to the challenges or flee completely?
The Opens is upon us, I'm facing that head on.
Irregardless of how I perform, how well or how badly I do.
I'm gonna be happy and thankful that I'm given this opportunity to do so.
CrossFit Games Opens 2014.
Let's get it on!
