We get by with a little help from our Friends!
What helps you get though a WOD, a friend? significant other? Music-your favorite song? A coach screaming in your face? The thought of some else beating you? Certain words you have heard before? Let us know?

W.O.D. 7.16.10

Back Squat
3-3-3-3-3

and

Death by Ten Meters
Run 10 meters the first minute. 20 the second, 30 the third, etc. If you cannot complete the required distance for that round, then rest a full minute and start working the ladder back down until you reach 20 minutes total.

Definitely some "motivational" talking to from a coach. That, coupled with some kind words from a friend, help me squeeze out that last ounce of intensity left in my heart.

To me, CrossFit has been a lot of beating myself at my own game. Now that I have been at the box for 8 months, I get more motivated when I do a WOD that I have done before and I see the progress that I have made. That just motivates me more. I also love when the coaches are yelling at us and my fellow athletes cheer me on to help me finish it out. Every push helps! And of course, a lttle boom, boom, pow never hurts anyone!!

Definitely the coaches! And, encouragement from fellow cross-fitters. It's amazing what camaraderie and support can do to help you achieve your personal goals!

Coach P. Lentus mid Death by 10 meters: "Well, you could do 70 thrusters, 50 chest to bars and then carry someone up and back if you guys want instead." ----'nuff said.
