I’m Tired of Only Being “Okay” At CrossFit

by crossfitmomm, posted in Training for CrossFit Games

The eye-opener for me was 22.3 of the CrossFit Open. I was so angry because that workout should have been in my wheelhouse. All of the Open 2022 sucked for me. I should have done much better.

That’s when I decided to quite sucking at CrossFit and get serious again.

However, last week when I was practicing chest-to-bar pull ups in my garage gym and failing and failing, I realized that I can no longer do this alone.

I wish I had realized this sooner in my CrossFit career. I wish I had had someone suggest this. Admittedly, COVID-19 did not help. I entered a period of severe depression, and the only thing I could do in CrossFit was maintain.

Now, I’m shooting for the Games and soliciting a coach. We’ll see how this goes!

Following My Dreams: Should I Train for the CrossFit Games?

by crossfitmomm, posted in Training for CrossFit Games

I did Murph last week, and something changed. The way I felt afterwards; euphoria doesn’t even begin to describe it.

I made a video and could not stop watching it. There was something about it that I still can’t describe.

Doing Murph made me think of my friend, Justin Thompson. He’s a veteran, and Murph is big with him. I haven’t seen him since COVID-19, so he was on my mind.

Then, a few days later, I was working out early in the morning at my home gym and the thought occurred to me, “I want to go to the CrossFit Games.”

I didn’t think it ridiculous at all; in fact, now that I’m a masters athlete, I think I have a good chance (of course, I could be delusional).

But I would need a trainer. There’s no earthly way I could do it by myself.

That’s where Justin comes in. He’s a CrossFit Level 3 trainer. I’ve trained with him before. If anyone could help me achieve my dream, it would be him.
