I have learned and am constantly learning, that the actual competitions that we participate in through CrossFit, like the consumation of all goals, are but single points, standing out like glowing peaks against the tapestry of our lives. It's the travel from peak to peak, the interior process of goal fulfillment in which one must seek the enjoyment..that is what makes this life worth living.

"You are the agent of your own destiny"


"You are the agent of your own destiny, whether you realize it or not, whether you act it or not. Only you can find the motivation to exert the quality of effort to achieve your full potential. No one else can do the work for you. Developing a personal philosophy of effort based on objective principles requires time and dedication; but the rewards are commensurate. As that philosophy takes shape you will grow increasingly directed and purposeful. But you can't just think about it, you must act on it! So, take pride in your power to achieve your values and goals. Be a champion of choice and make the high-intensity effort necessary to achieve the kind of physique you desire." Mike Mentzer

“I like people who have a sense of individuality. I love expression and anything awkward and imperfect, because that’s natural and that’s real.”

The Lullaby

 5 power snatches at the top of every minute, followed by AMRAP burpees for the remainder of the minute. I continue this progression until I reached 100 burpees. As soon as this happened, I transitioned to 5 OH squats at the top of every minute, followed by AMRAP double unders for the remainder of the minute. I continued this progression until I reached 500 double unders. 


-weight used 45 kilos (100#)
