It's amazing to see how much progress and growth can be made in just a year. Coming home from South regionals last year I was determined to earn a individual qualifying spot. A lot can happen over the course of a year and due to a few speed bumps I wasn't sure how well I could even perform in the Open this year. My goal had changed from top 20 to doing the best I could and hopefully helping my team at some point throughout these 5 weeks. Although, I may have just fell short of my original goal coming into this year; I greatly surpassed where I thought I was going to be a few weeks prior to Opens. I have my amazing friends, my teammates/ training partners and coaches to thank for that one. This year was definitely a growing year not only physically, but mentally. I have learned so much about myself as an athlete these past two years. I've realized it's takes just as much mental strength as it does physical and I'm only getting stronger!! Congrats to each and every athlete that competed in the Opens this year! Everybody did amazing and I hope you surprised yourself!! #crossfit #crossfitopen #evcf #crossfitfam
