Another near death experience!! "Barbara" is such an innocent name to call such a killer workout. CrossFit is deceptive that way.
Surviving a CrossFit workout takes as much mental discipline as physical discipline. Several times during this workout - not to mention every other one as well - I feel like quitting because I'm so exhausted. I take each workout one rep at a a time. Pullups right now are particularly challenging because my arms and back are sore from last week's lifting.
But I keep pushing on. Why? Because of CrossFit, I am in the best physical shape of my life. CrossFit pushes both my physical and mental limits of what I think I can accomplish. And this crosses over into the rest of my life. If I can do CrossFit, what else can I do that maybe I thought I couldn't do before?
And now, on to Barbara!!
