One Week

There is officially one week between me and my first CrossFit Open WOD.  The workout gets announced this Tuesday(7PM!) and then I will be heading to CFW to perform it on Saturday.

It didn't really hit me that I was actually competing until recently.  Oddly enough it clicked in right in the middle of a workout as I was about to pick up the barbell to do a heavy thruster.  Suddenly I felt nervous, excited and really good about my performance going in.

I have had a great week of workouts and feel stronger than ever.  There are a few movements that might come up that make me a bit nervous but there are also lots of things that might come up that I am hoping for.  I know I keep telling people that I'm just doing it for fun and that I don't expect anything but that isn't completely true. I do expect something.  I want to be able to give 100 percent in every WOD and be happy with the score I submit each week.

I know the workouts will be fun no matter what because of the community.  In fact, what I am more excited about than the actual workouts is getting to participate in them with friends.  As a competitive person I have sometimes found it hard to balance friendship and competition. However, at CFW things are different and I often find myself cheering for others to beat my score/time.  I cannot wait to compete alongside the people at CFW and I am expecting to see some exceptional performances over the next few weeks.

So, get ready everyone! The time is almost here!
