Day 2
I was VERY upset with myself after WOD 5. I left and went home because I didn't want to be ugly to anyone when they were just trying to be encouraging, and I didn't want to cry in front of everyone. I almost didn't come back for WOD 6, but I knew I'd be pissed at myself for it tomorrow. I came back and was surprised to see that I didn't get a DNF, I just got a last place finish for the workout. I went into the last WOD with very low expectations and ended up doing a decent job. I ended the weekend in 7th place out of 11. With 2 last place finishes its not too shabby.
I realize that if I don't do well in a competition it isn't the end of the world, and that in the end its not a big deal. I just put so much pressure on myself to do well. I don't like losing. I don't like admitting that I can't do something. After a lack luster day on Day 1, failing on the first workout of Day 2 just sent me over the edge. Hopefully I'll become more experienced with Crossfit competitions and just better in general...physically and mentally.
