Western Canada Regionals. June 7-9 2013

Photo: Crews are preparing the competition floor. Athletes are preparing themselves. What are the fans preparing?CrossFit Games - Canada West RegionalThis weekend is going to be such an amazing experience.  I can't wait and will keep you all posted.  This is the Olympic Oval in Richmond, BC.  http://ubersense.com/XBOQhw02 muscle up video. 

My Muscle up coach Bill Mantra.  He sent me this last night- had a tear I won't lie.

My mantra;

 

The contest lasts for moments, though the training has taken years,

It wasn’t the winning along, that was work the work and tears,

The applause will be forgotten, the prize will be misplaced,

But the long hard hours of practice, will never be a waste,

For in trying to win you build a skill,

You learn than winning depends on WILL,

So for each you challenge you have just begun,

Put forth your best, and you have already won.
