t-minus 9 days until the shop winter games.
it's the beginning of the competition season for some, a stepping stone for many, out of reach for a few, and just right for me. the stage is relatively small but the pool is teeming with fish of similar experience and capacity.
too many days have already been lost to a temporary decision to take steps in the wrong direction, but i refuse to give up.
one focus, one goal, one day - all resulting in one undeniable outcome.
competition: a snapshot of current abilites and a reminder of what's possible. if you never do it, you should.

Your damn skippy. And On that day you will enter the zone and dig in and give it hell. Prep the food bring the cooler charge the camera load the ipod. And sunglasses yes sunglasses combined with the blasting NIN music will put you just in the right frame of mind. Find the right rpm for whatever the wod is and hit the excelerator and run her right into the red.
you've hit on something important in your comments that i've been thinking about a lot lately. something i often feel as though i've forgotten about or buried in the past along with everything else from "crazier" days. it surfaces often, mostly at the wrong times, but did so recently just before "cruise missile". instead of releasing it i held onto it, saving it for after the clock started. a much smarter move. the ability to flip the switch and go into attack mode has gotten harder and harder with age. full on intensity, anger, and intimidation with complete disregard for the repercussions of the resulting action, is not part of my day to day responsibilities. i guess it never was but as i remember things in younger (and dumber) years, i had the ability to bring some fear into the situation. a quality that can be of use from time to time in certain situations. call it ego, confidence, or stupidity, i don't care. my point is that there are times when i need to remember how to break the chains, get pissed off, and destroy anything in my way. i guarantee that if i can learn to harness that power and flip the switch to release it at the right times, i'll be working much closer to the limit; closing the gap on potential and flirting with self-actualization on a regular basis.
