Just did 24.2. Gave it my all. Doing crossfit for 6 months. Did scaled.

@iprefertoremainanonymous Yeah rx is challenging alright. I guess it's the beauty of it too that you're always striving to improve at something else!

@user911 Comparison is the thief of joy.

Even if you came dead last - you got up and did it. Compete with yourself - no-one else.

 

[user911]

@river1 Yeah thank you!

@user911 Haha I’ve been going about the same amount of time and got 6 rounds and my gym manager was SO proud of me I’ve been pretty happy about it

 

[user911]

@39nholdn I'm starting to be. Just got too much in my head I think. Go us!

 

[rajedu145]

@user911 You’re disappointed because you’re focusing on others.

The inner voice goes “I did less than…” when you do that.

If you focused on you, that voice may go something like “HOLY SHNIKIES, I just deadlifted a bar with a lot of weight like a ton of times and hauled ass on a rower which I used to not know how to use and jumped rope in between. Who am I?!”

Easier said than done. But I’ve been confined to a wheelchair and not walking for a long time, any score is just fine compared to my first unassisted steps again.

So, for me, it’s a perspective thing.

 

[user911]

@rajedu145 Wow. Perspective is a huge thing. Best of luck and congrats on your unassisted steps. That's amazing.

@user911 I am also six months in but doing Rx. DU’s will be hard. Hoping for 5 rounds

 

[primrosehill]

@user911 3 years in here. Can do a DU for sure but not nearly proficient enough for 50 per round. Good work OP.

 

[user911]

@primrosehill Thank you. You never know though. Some people where I was were decent enough at dus but for the open really pulled it out of the bag!

 

[kmlp]

@user911 You did your best. That’s all that matters I really hoped to hit 8 rounds rx but fell short. It is what it is.

 

[lailoved]

@user911 do it again in six months

 

[user911]

@lailoved Yeah definitely!

 

[user911]

Yeah fair play to us for giving it our all.

 

[malisoka]

@user911 Remember why you signed up for CrossFit. Bc of what you felt after that workout. Keep showing up.

 

[user911]

@malisoka Thank you!!

 

[jessicacat580]

@user911 I got 6 rounds done as well; that was my goal.

Maybe this wasn’t your workout. Perhaps you went in too hot and if you redo it you’ll learn to pace it. Don’t be too hard in yourself. Remember a lot of people don’t even visit a gym.

 

[user911]

@jessicacat580 Yeah this is true. Thank you!

@user911 My sister asked me to run in a local 5k with her for support. The last runner car was behind us. Someone yelled (honestly), how does it feel to be in last place? She didn’t miss a beat and said, get off your SSA and see what f you can beat me. Never forgot that comment.

PS did scaled today b/c Dubs and had an amazing workout.

 

[user911]

@watchtower08 Haha your sister sounds like a badass! Glad you did. Well done!
