“Life is a daring adventure, or it is nothing at all.”
Heard this quote recently, but not who made it. Thought it was appropriate for our location.
As a lot of folks are out of town for spring break next week, we will only be having classes at 5:30 pm during the week. Next Sunday will still be at 9 am.
Found the following Coach Glassman quote at the CrossFit Vancouver site. Thanks to them for finding it and posting it.
“What’s the drawback of anaerobic efforts?
Discomfort.
I know tons of guys who think that spending all day jogging on west cliff is fun. I don’t know anyone who thinks a 1000 meter effort on a rower is fun.
We know that a good anaerobic athlete can put his hands in his pockets and walk up to a five gallon plastic bucket full of water and stick his head in and drown himself, and not pull out. That’s the kind of willpower that’s required to endure anaerobic efforts.
We don’t want to advertise that aspect of our program much. It doesn’t draw people through the door (Secretly we suspect it does). But it’s true. If you can give me good 1000 meter efforts on the rower, good 800 meter efforts on the track, if you can thoroughly exhaust these anaerobic pathways with a smile on your face, then you are the real deal.
To the extent that you can engage in this and not give up, you will also become supremely fit. Because you are working out in the high power range where the intensity is great, and that focus is where all the results come.”
Killing the Coward Within!
