2013 Open…
CFM Athletes,
Unless you have been living under a rock you know that the CrossFit Games worldwide Open starts tomorrow. I am extremely proud with all the athletes that we have signed up. In the grand scheme of things we are still a very young box. For most of you this will be your first experience in any kind of CrossFit competition. My words to you are simple HAVE FUN!
Yes we will be taking it serious and giving our absolute best. You can bet your ass I fully expect each of you to push 
yourself to the limit each week. That in itself is the true essence of the games. We all have different goals and expectations for ourselves going into this endeavor. If a movement comes up you can’t do… Guess what you are going to HAVE to do your damnedest to get that muscle up or double under. If an Rx weight for the whole WOD is a 1RM for you, then that 1 rep is a win.
Focus on the positives of this journey not the negatives. Enjoy pushing yourself to limits you never thought possible for you. Embrace what you possibly only months or weeks ago thought was impossible and now made reality. The fact you signed up and accepted the challenge speaks volumes and each of you should be proud of that.
We all want to be better. It does not happen naturally. It takes work. It requires you to push yourself. If you are not failing on a regular basis it’s simple you’re not pushing yourself. If you are afraid of failure you will not get better. Get out of the comfort zone, embrace the suck and strive to be better than you were yesterday.
HELP YOUR FELLOW ATHLETES, CHEER EACH OTHER ON, THERE IS NO QUIT!
