Release that inner Lion!!

On January 21st, I'm competing in The 2012 Fittest Games.  It's been about 8 months since I've competed in any CrossFit competitions. Having had an injury where I pulled all the muscles in my left ribcage, could barely breathe or drive a car, and couldn't workout for 2+ months, I'm not gonna lie...I'm terrified.  I feel like I've lost a lot of my strength pressing overhead, and my kip is just now getting back to "somewhat" normal.  But....I have to start somewhere, right?  I'm working hard and seeing improvements every day.  I'm going into The Fittest Games with a positive outlook and attitude, because let's face it....I'm trying my best and that's all I can do, right?
 

Inner confidence is a HUGE part of CrossFit.  You have to be confident you can do the movements, you can lift the weight, you can handle the endurance.  Without confidence, you will fail and well....failure is NOT an option for me.  I may not be at the top of the leader board that day, but I'll know in my heart and mind that I did my best and when you do your best, you're never a failure.  Like the picture above, I don't see a kitten when I look in the mirror, I see a lion ready to attack anything in my way to get what I want.  What do you see when you look in the mirror?     

Believe in yourself, and you can achieve ANYTHING!
