To be successful at CrossFit, as with anything in life, you need to give effort. Sure it’s great to have the best time on a WOD or lift the most weight on a given lift, but it’s the effort that you give that’s the most important aspect of CrossFit. The most successful CrossFitters give 100% effort every time they step in to the gym. I would rather see someone give 100% max effort and be the last one to finish a WOD, than someone who finish first, but doesn’t give the WOD everything they have. What you get out of these workouts is exactly what you put into them.
If you had the chance to catch any of the action from this weekend’s CrossFit games you would have seen some incredible athletic accomplishments and more importantly some awesome displays of athletes laying it all on the line and giving the WOD’s every last bit of energy they had. They never stopped working until the clock stopped, even if there was no chance at them completing a WOD or even placing any higher in the scoring. There were times when a athlete had a WOD all but won and could have slowed down to save energy, but you never saw that. CrossFit is more about just finishing a WOD the fastest. It’s about giving the WOD every last bit of energy you have.
I think Josh Everett, one of the analyst for the games, made the best observation stating that the crowd would cheer louder for the athlete who was last but still going as hard as they could. As CrossFitters, we can relate because we’ve all been there before. It’s just not your day, everyone else is finished, you’re hurting and you want to quit. But you don’t quit, you keep going one miserable rep at a time until the clock runs out or you finish all the required reps. Why?……..Because you’re a CrossFitter and that’s what we do. QUITTING’S FOR P*****S!
Linda, one rep at a time, always demonstrates a "never quit" attitude!
