This coming Sunday will be my first individual competition in about 9 months and it's hard not be a little uneasy about it. Not about doing it but about the actual events. Have I trained hard enough? Can I do all of the possible movements? Who will be competing? All of these concerns are legit concerns but they are nothing to be scared of and nervous about. All of the athletes will be good. That's why they are in the "elite" division. Some have even been to California to compete with the best in the world and I am stoked to compete against them. I have no problem getting beat by someone who is better than me but I do have a problem getting beat by fear or something that I have control over. There are plenty of athletes better than me but who will show up on game day when it counts the most? Who's skills will the WODs favor? All of this definitely matters. At the end of the day, the athlete that brings it and is the most rounded will walk away on top of the leaderboard. Who cares how it is scored or if the judges make a bad call or whatever. Welcome to competitive sports. That's how it is. Shit happens and you deal with it. People make mistakes. Chicago Cubs and the CHICAGO FAN who reached out to grab the foul ball. The umpire who took away the perfect game this past season. It happens. It sucks, but it happens. At the end of the day, I can only control my game and nothing else.
Here I go!
