29.1

The North Central Regional:
     For some of you, it was a goal just to qualify for it. For others, it is your goal to destroy it. It is almost here. Today, as you recover, I want you to focus on some specific things... Continuing to read  is the first.
     At the OKC Metro Competitors WOD, I was sitting against the wall with a frenemy (more friend, less enemy) of mine, and he was talking about one of our BHTers. He said something that really stuck with me. He said "[BHTer] will kill this competition if  he/she will just get out of his/her own way"...My frenemy was right.
     So...GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY!
     Every one of you is a beast. And here is what I want you to focus on/do:
Stop forgetting that you are a beast.
Stop accepting negativity.
Stop accepting defeat.
Stop setting mental roadblocks for yourself.
Keep doubt far far away.
Stop telling yourself "that's too heavy" or "I can't"
Own up to what you are. I am not asking you to flaunt it. Just accept it with confidence.
Be your own biggest fan (this will be hard for you because I PR as your biggest fan every day)
     The Regional IS coming. Your body will be ready. Make sure that your mind is. In the middle of Event 4 or 6, when you are hurting and gasping for breath and your body is begging for rest, be ready to will yourself on.
     Success in Crossfit is more in your mind than it is anywhere else. Tell yourself you will, then make yourself do it. Fight that demon that tells you to drop off the bar or put down the dumbbell or axle bar.
     You can do this. You will do this...Just, please...please, get out of your own way.
