Thursday Afternoon Recap
CrossFit Games Schedule, Golf night, Weekend Motivation
What a beautiful long weekend! We are into August now and I can’t even believe it. Time flies when you are having fun! Today’s recap will be another short one.
CrossFit Games are this weekend starting today!
To catch all the action go to YouTube click this link https://www.youtube.com/@CrossFitGamesTV
Or at games.crossfit.com
Check out the schedule below. (Reminder this is central time so add 1 hour to get our time zone, ie 7 am = 8am our time)
If you are curious about who the games athletes are you can check out mini video interviews with Dave Castro here.
The cool thing about the CrossFit Games is…
as a CrossFit athlete yourself you can relate to the athletes at the elite level because you have done these workouts yourself. Maybe you have not done these workouts as prescribed but as we know, CrossFit is infinitely scalable and we can tailor the workouts to our individual needs and abilities. Therefore, we have felt the push, we have tasted the pennies, and we have experienced doing hard things.
The commonality of shared suffering brings us together as a community. We have felt the pain of these workouts, we have laid in a pool of our sweat, then high fived those around us and have come back for more.
In the book “Learning to Breathe Fire,” J.C. Hertz put it like this:
CrossFit demands courage and an appetite for discomfort. It presses the whole person, mind, body, and spirit, against the whetstone of strain and fatigue, and people must choose to stay there until they are sharp. It changes people. It alters their identities, and binds them.
The other cool thing is the spectators in the stands are just as fit as the athletes
