     Local and Not so Local Competitions.
     Do them.
     I know...I know...sometimes (too many times) the programming is not ideal. Here is the deal though, the cream still rises to the top...not every time...but most of the time. The following paragraph (OK all of BHT) is  for Crossfit athletes who are competitors, Crossfit athletes that want to compete at Regionals and The Games.
     Local competitions are learning experiences. If you podium or win that is great. That is awesome. Share the swag...with me. Local competitions are all about learning. They are about learning how you are or how you need to be in a competitive environment. They are about managing jitters and the yips. They are points on a timeline that show specific areas in which you need to improve. After every competition GK has done we participate in what I refer to as "the talk". Win or lose, podium or last, I give her time to unwind and then...the talk. The Talk covers everything she did well and movements she may have struggled with that need to be a focus of upcoming training. Whether you have someone to have "the talk" with or not, competition gives you the opportunity to have that same talk with yourself. It gives you the opportunity to be in a competitive environment with athletes from many gyms and it is a priceless experience.
     GK will be polling many of you this week about times you will be available to meet before the end of the month. This will be an open meeting for anyone interested in competing throughout the year. She would like to decide on a few big competitions that OKC will bring a herd to.
