Think...The assessment is only as tough as you are.<br /><br />Think about it:<br /><br />1. Every training program designed to identify and train warriors has a "selection" phase. A formidable obstacle designed to separate those who are able to go on from those who are not. I applaud all of your efforts in making it over that wall.<br /><br />2. There are no time limits in the assessment, other than the ones you pose on yourself. If you wanted, you could have made every element "comfortable" for you. Set the bar low, stay inside while the storm rages outside.<br /><br />3. Not everyone is elite (I'm not), but we all have the ability to reach into uncharted territory. It was your desire to push past what is known that has left you sore and tired. Good is the enemy of great, the possible is the enemy of the impossible. You seem to understand that.<br /><br />Conclusion: The assessment is tough only if you are tough. Your drive to give every bit of yourself over the past week is more of a testament to your warrior spirit than it is anything else.<br /><br />Good job Warrior Athletes!<br /><br />Coach Ordjennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04137108473489799077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132066187374362742.post-42286839906327262522010-03-19T21:51:06.439-07:002010-03-19T21:51:06.439-07:00I agree with all of you!

I have been destroyed after running a marathon but nothing like this week, its like my very first week of CrossFit. I'm certainly looking forward to the results that we all will receive.<br /><br />Lets keep up the awesome work and feed off each other.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03524753119163315124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132066187374362742.post-21700026253172331062010-03-19T12:40:53.988-07:002010-03-19T12:40:53.988-07:00Guys - if anything this has been an eye opening ex...Guys - if anything this has been an eye opening experience. I literally sat on the rower telling Jason that in some ways CrossFit had made me much better of an athlete, but in some other ways I feel I have let it hinder other aspects of my fitness - i.e. certain golas, no serious sprints, etc. <br /><br />I am excited to see the change we all make - and dear gawd no this could not be a program an entry level, or many mid level athletes could do. <br /><br />Great job, and our first week will be as great as our last week!Alenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875869459202702816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132066187374362742.post-61741958126389949052010-03-19T11:27:27.501-07:002010-03-19T11:27:27.501-07:00I'll go ahead and second that Gene! I think I...I'll go ahead and second that Gene! I think I've liked Crossfit because it's challenged me to do things I never thought I could do... Handstand push-ups, Double Unders, etc. But the trade-off is that I haven't been consistently challenging myself towards a goal (though I'm not sure what that goal is... but still...)<br /><br />With this said, I've been sore a lot with Crossfit, but I haven't felt this tired in a long time! :) (But I LIKE it!!!)Torreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12279133520478790538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132066187374362742.post-46236975661619923202010-03-19T09:24:29.156-07:002010-03-19T09:24:29.156-07:00Hey all,

Even the cross fit workouts I have been doing have not been preparation enough, especially for the hard intervals done on Day 3.<br />That being said, I am looking forward to seeing our first week of workouts!!genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04697105268934463339noreply@blogger.com
