This past week we did the Open workout 15.2. This workout was a repeat of last year’s workout 14.2.
It was a brutal workout by any means, and the thing that sucked the most was the fact that the better you are, the more work you have to do, so you get punished more. Essentially there was a set amount of work you had to accomplish within 3 minutes. If you finished it then you got another 3 minutes to accomplish more work. If you finished that you got more work to accomplish within the next 3 minutes and so on, until you didn’t finish the allotted number of reps within the 3 minute time frame.
I’ve been training for a long time, and once you’ve been training for a long time progress comes slower. I’ve also had some health issues, etc, I can substitute any excuse I want here, but I don’t need to.
You see I hit a PR on this workout. I beat last years score. I got 6 extra reps. Many people would be upset that they ‘only got 6 measly reps.’ I’m not upset at all. I’m proud of it. You see, I know that I trained hard all year. I’m in much better shape then I was last year and I did better than I did last year. I’ve been training CrossFit for almost 7 years and I’m still getting better, that’s the key to a successful program, and I will celebrate every PR I get.
Do you celebrate your PR’s? Do you write things down so you can track what you did in the past?
