Last week we held our first round of team tryouts for the 2012 Games season and I had SO MUCH FUN! It was exactly what I have been needing to re-fuel the fire to compete. Last year I was mentally just not in it. I was engaged, planning a wedding, working a TON to afford the wedding and honeymoon and just did not have the mental space I needed or time to really put the energy necessary towards being a serious competitor. I missed that adrenaline rush you get after pushing yourself farther than you thought you could, hitting a new PR, feeling like I am a part of something big, passionate about just playing the sport I love. Last week gave me all of that back and confirmed I have what it takes if I want it...and I DO!
Each year of competing has been a huge learning experience for me and this year I feel like I have learned enough about myself to know that the right balance and mindset will make me better than ever before and more enjoyable than ever before. Here is my plan:
1. BALANCE work, training and personal life...living in the ZONE!
2. Have FUN, don't take myself too seriously and enjoy the process!
3. CELEBRATE the accomplishments, successes and even failures that I can learn and grow from!
4. NO FEAR...forget about what other people think of me or comparing myself to others. Me against me!
5. Set GOALS...know what I want and go get it!
I am excited about this year and have a whole new fresh view towards competing! First up, The Fittest Games in 5 days with Alex Janss, Miguel Garza and Connor Moore! Yee Haw!

Sounds like your ready to kick some ass. Love it. Good luck to you and your team. See you on 'the yard.'
gah! you're
Have fun at The Fittest Games - it's always so cool hearing about the CC ladies tearing it up.
Oh, and your Goal #4 is speaking to me. I like it... a lot. I like the "it's just me against me" mentality.
So great to have you back in the game. You do work and always show up on top.
