So, remember back when I trained for the Next Level Performance Invitational? Well, I’d like to do another one, except, that it’s now already so popular that each cross fit affiliate can only send 15 athletes. And, of that 15, only 2 for Intermediate female. Which means that I must compete against girls in my own gym to earn my spot. Argh!
By this time tomorrow I will be DONE. We are doing 3 WOD’s within a 2 hour period. Girls with the lowest scores goes to the Invitational.
WOD’s #1 4 ROUNDS
6 Pull-ups
6 Push-ups {chest to deck}
500 Meter Row
6 Thrusters at 75 Pounds
WOD #2
1 Rope Climb from a sitting position
7 Hang Power Cleans at 80 Pounds
5 ROUNDS
WOD #3 AMRAP for 7 minutes {AMRAP means as many rounds as possible)
7 Kettlebell Swings at 35 pounds (?)
11 Burpees
If you’re wondering how I’m feeling at the moment….
Well, as usual, I’m ….. freaking out a bit. There is going to be a lot of pain involved in these workouts and my strengths are I don’t know…maybe rowing?! Currently trying to gather up all the mental toughness and courage I can muster!
I am accepting all pep talks and positive energy I can get- either online here or at home.
Wish me luck!

Dear Rachel,
I have seen you workout day in and day out. You are strong mentally and physically ( except when it comes to deadlifts ). I know that you will do great, just because that’s what you do usually. Even if 3 wods seem a lot, don’t forget that you can bare much much more.

I did a ride with Josh Taylor a couple months ago and he talked about having a mantra when he competed. I was expecting something earth-shattering.
His mantra? “I can.” He would just say it over and over. He would go back to his training in his head and say the mantra. I’ve used it and guess what – it works!
“YOU CAN!!!”
