Mental Block

I was more than ready to walk out from the WOD before it ever started.  I hate doing things in teams or pairs. There is nothing more frustrating than being so far behind in a warm up and then be teamed up with someone at the same time.  I can handle being last as far as finishing the WOD but when someone else is relying on you to complete theirs it makes it so much harder.  Then if it is a coach  they can't even start class until I'm done.  Then there were the jump ropes...  and then the jump rope broke.  If I could have sat down at that moment and had my own pity party I would have.  Thankfully, the coach was in a good mood and didn't let me do that.  He did threaten me with jumping jacks and well those are on my detest list also.  I'd rather suffer thru burpees!  I know the coach was getting frustrated with me.  So yeah, I was in my own pity party hell!  Why?  Because doing the warm up and being behind is a mental thing and my mind shuts down.  What to do about it?  Suck it up and do what I can to push myself harder.  Try to stay focused and trust that the coaches will help keep me on track.  And breathe!!!

Those cleans were hard.  I didn't realize how sore my arms still were until I did the first one.  Then to continue.  I'm sure I was still curling the bar so I know I really need to work on not doing that. 

The Push Ups were about the same.  Just have to get up on my toes and off my knees!

It ended up being a good WOD and it worked me.  I just really have to get over that mental block.  The coaches know what they're doing and all of mine are good at what they do.  I have to trust them!  It's the only way!
