Sectionals WOD: Or, Why Am I So Easily Defeated???

Yesterday was day 2 of the Zone Challenge. Pretty easy, no tears, although I would really like to have a Diet Coke. I am a junkie. If I could shoot it into my arm, I think I would. I was all pumped up from the excitement of being on point with the Challenge when I walked into the box.

I'm going to say something here that is going to make Shain go "Duh" and not in a "Duh, winning" kind of way. The way something is presented to me can make a HUGE difference in how I handle it. For instance, the Sectionals WOD that I did yesterday. If it was JUST another WOD, it would of been a regular day at Crossfit. (Well, maybe not...the double unders I did for a warm-up and max effort ring rows kind of wore me out...but still...) Instead, JUST KNOWING THIS WAS A SECTIONALS WOD made it twice as hard as it should of been. The evidence: 10 minutes is not that long. I can jump-rope pretty well usually. The one factor that could of thrown me off was that I don't have a TON of practice with the snatch (seriously, can they call this something else???) but there was no reason it had to be such a hard workout. I hate that. I walked away feeling like I had done poorly and that makes me feel really terrible. The only good news? I still know that the workouts I do at Crossfit are much more productive than what I'd be doing at a globo gym.
