I am writing this only because I’d like to see us at 40 posts, a record for CFA. Truly a vacuous post. My pleasure indeed.

What Elite means to me is anyone who give all of themselves to something over and over again, with no reservations.

Here is a great article about the intersection of crossfit methodologies and running a marathon.

Just to go back to one thing that Corey said that I believe with all my heart: Your decisions are YOUR decisions. No one else’s.

It is nice to appreciate the support that our coaches and our fellow athletes offer us. But, sometimes, we need to appreciate OURSELVES more. You are the one who chooses to walk into the gym day in and day out. You are the one who chooses to push yourself during a WOD. No one else can do the work for you. That is your decision. Be proud.

I can honestly say I’m very impressed by the posters yesterday. I read and re-read my posts MANY times before submitting anything. I mull them in my head for weeks or months often before posting. As such, I usually stand by my wording.

I’m always amazed when some folks get offended but can understand how it happens. I don’t beat around the bush.

But neither do y’all. I appreciate all of your feedback and look forward to further great debates.

Cheers

…the only quality needed for ‘elite’ status is to keep doing it…keep showing up and trying…

i’d really like to see the word ‘elite’ eliminated from CFA vocabulary. if we really are one group, focused on the simple, single goal of improvement across the spectrum of desire that is unique for each of us then we are all ‘elite’. the only, truly important issue, is that each of us wants to improve from the place we started and that we want to help each other improve in whichever manner or to whatever level we each want.
