Rijksacademie OPEN’15 - Feng Chen

Het geluid en beeld lopen synchroon met je hartslag, een essentieel iets.  Iedereen in de ruimte heeft na een tijdje dezelfde hartslag als jij. 

Tijdelijkheid.

Het geheel resoneert, het rode neon in de hoek versterkt die ervaring. Introspectie die je overal meedraagt, iets wat we misschien wel vergeten. Staren naar een stukje werkelijkheid en dat focus naar buiten en naar binnen kan gaan. Bewust en onbewust wisselen elkaar zonder reden af. Meditatief, poetisch en onverwacht, heel anders dan de zee dat kan zijn. 

Een ruimte om in te verdwijnen.  Als dagdromen in de trein.

In March, during the Open, one of the guys was my judge and helped coach me for chest to bars (which I almost got) and I haven't seen him since I've been gone. So today he came into the main box and beelined directly to me to give me a huge welcome back hug before he started the wod. I love my box.

About to go do 15.5

Butterflies in my stomach, going to break it up from the start because I know I’ll regret it if I don’t. SO NERVOUS, I am planning on pushing myself to the brink on this one.

15.2 Sucks

Sad I won't be able to put in any effort because I can't do a pull up, I knew it was a weakness but it really does suck, I don't know if I'll have to stop the open? Maybe I should've waited

Me vs Me

Completed the 15.1 Crossfit Open workout this morning. Absolutely dead but I managed new personal bests in both the Snatch, and Clean and Jerk. Stoked!!!

....aaaand it's up! Crossfit Open 15.1. To be honest, it's not as bad as I was anticipating, but it's still pretty tough. I've never lifted more than 30kgs overhead, so I'm curious to see what I can pull out the bag today. Good luck to everyone competing!!

2015 Open Goals:

Do 4/5 workouts RXed- muscle-ups will be the death of me, and I'm fairly certain they're going to be included early this year

Submit a score for them all 

Achieve a base-line. Just a base-line.

That is it. No leaderboarding. No comparing myself to the home box comp team. I'm a good two years behind them anyway (with good reason- I've only been doing CF consistently for a year and a half) and that is okay.

One of the things I love/hate about this sport is it makes you come face-to-face with wherever you are, in that particular moment. There's no give me a month, and then I'll take the test then. You face what you're bad at, confront your weaknesses, accept where you are, and devise a game plan to get better. So no pressure. :)
