Todays "Transformation Tuesday" comes from our Macombie of the month Michelle! Michelle has participated in 10 CrossFit competitions in 2014 and plans on competing even more in 2015. She is the "Competition Queen" and is not afraid to jump in and give it her all amongst local CrossFitters. Here is what she has to say about what she loves about competing, and how it has helped her grow:
The best part about competing is
the feeling of accomplishment when you’re done, the feeling of community you
get from all the different CrossFit families that come out to support everyone, and
seeing that no matter your age, gender, weight, or athletic ability, you will
be cheered on until you are done.
I have learned a lot from
competing, about myself and others, and you’re never going to know how you’ll
do if you don’t try. Don’t be afraid of failure, failure motivates you to keep
pushing and working harder. Failure forces you to set the bar higher.
For as long as I can remember I
have always loved to compete; from bumper bowling as a toddler, to all the
sports I played through school, to where I am now. Competing can be very stressful;
you will have good days and bad days. Every competition is different and some
will push you to your limits, but that is the best part; being pushed to your
limit, overcoming it, and setting PR’s. The time on the clock and the place on
the leader board mean nothing if you didn't give 110%. Being first is always an
awesome accomplishment, but giving everything you had and finishing means more
than first place. When you walk off that floor there should be no doubt in your
mind that you left every ounce of effort you had out there. -Michelle
We are proud of Michelle's fearlessness and hard work. She always gives it her all and never settles for less than her best.
