We might bummed out we won't see these athletes for another 10 months or so, and slide back into our boxes and watch footage of the events over and over until the next.... Or we could put on our running shoes, our Olympic Shoes or just plain barefoot and use that footage as motivation for our next workout! We never stop working out and we never stop improving. So don't view it like we're done until March or a few weeks before the Open starts again, let's continue to build on those fundamentals we have been putting in place and go out and get stronger! I was watching the Games with one of my friends, and I got so fired up I started working out in the middle of the family room while watching the last event! It's great seeing such strong athletes in those last events. It just helps you to what's possible and what still can be accomplished. Sidenote: I think the Games this year really showed what CrossFit is all about. Chris Spealler said it at the desk the other day at the Games, a lot of people are programming really heavy with oly lift lately. But let's not forget, CrossFit is really about over coming anything. And with the "worm" and "pig" in events this year I'm happy we're heading in the right direction. Yes we work on Oly Lifts and Gymnastics, but don't forget we're preparing for everything which includes doing pistols squats with KB or putting a log on your shoulder and then running awhile and then pulling a sled etc etc. We do it all and we never want to forget that. So be prepared just like last month when said we're training for the highland games, our goal is to get strong and do whatever we feel like. *Getting off my soap box* See you guys in a few days. The Battle for 81 is going to be quickly upon us... CrossFit Hagerstown Become the Machine.
