Thank yo so much for this article! The ladies at CF Austin struggle with this daily!! We are so hard on ourselves when we do the littlest things wrong. It is good to be reminded of why we love CF and what it has done to make us who we are!! Thanks again and hope you enjoyed your ladies night! Tristy-Crossfit Austin

Hello Courtney – Just wanted to say thank you for writing such a wonderful article. I CrossFit in Saskatoon-Canada. You put in words what I have been feeling and going through for a while. I thought I was the only one and was beating myself up for being so negative but after reading your article and the responses I feel better – knowing that I am not the only one who feels that way and also bcos it has made feel like I am not a loser. I needed some words of encouragement and your article and the resposes gave me that and even though they were not directed at me I still feel encouraged and I sincerely thank you for writing this piece. If I could join you on Friday I would but unfortunately I cannot – Enjoy your evening.

I am late on reading the post but wanted to tell you, Court, how great it was. As I am just beginning, I haven’t really experienced the competitive component yet. I have found the environment you and all the other women create is a wonderful blend of encouragement and challenge. I have loved my last few months at CrossFit because of how you all approach the WODs and how you cheer each other on.

I am super bummed that I will miss the dinner on Friday. But hopefully there will be another one in the near future.

Great post Court..although I am new to CrossFit and look forward to improving, I have a long, long way to go before I look at the whiteboard and feel like I can even come close to the other CrossFit studs. I do, however, get down on myself all of the time for not being able to lift more weight or go faster, instead of just enjoying the process and the challenges that come with the WODs. Looking forward to Friday!

Everyday I’m both impressed and humbled by the effort I see put forth by the women of Crossfit Invictus. It inspires me to work harder. Everyone has their reasons for joining Crossfit and the number one reason that I joined was because of the competitive aspect of it. This aids me in pushing myself to my limits and if we stopped measuring progress by keeping track of times and weights I would not enjoy it nearly as much as I do. There is nothing like achieving a new PR but it will not consistently happen every day. I know this and I don’t let it get me down when it doesn’t happen. My goal is to walk away from the gym each day knowing that I gave it my best for that given day.

Wow! Katie, Christina and Tabitha look beautiful in that picture. So strong and determined!

I just have fun every day. I’ve never been an athlete (shocked, are you?), so I don’t have that competitive “gotta beat the best” drive. Beating my previous times and weights is nice, but I don’t get too upset if it doesn’t happen. I’m really happy with what I’m doing.

I REALLY like the no time component for the WODs this week. Not having that pressure really kept me focused on my form. Thank you, CJ!!
