Day one in the books
Friday morning was my first official Crossfit training session @ HarborCity Crossfit. It went well, took a little longer than I expected but resulted in a really good workout. We ended with 200m run, 12 - 35lb kettle bell swings, and 6 pull-ups (can’t do a pull up so did jump pull ups) x 3 rounds. I finished in a little over 6 minutes which I thought was pretty good.
One thing happened that really hit me. Durring my last round I was finishing in the kettle bell swings in agony and I limped over to the pull up bar then took a few seconds to breathe and my instructor looked over and said, “do one then you can rest!” I did what he said immediately, but later after the workout I reflected on how profound that actually is.
Mentally we need to continue to push ourselves in life, work, as well as our workouts. We need to always push through mental and physical exhaustion to perform the next rep then we can grab a breath. If we continue to do that then we will constantly improve. Isn’t that the goal to constantly improve in life!
Down to 194, 9 pounds left on the drive to 185 then that goal might have to be adjusted downward!
