My first competition was a Team comp (2x female and 1x male) at my local Box that occurred about three weeks before stuff hit the fan in 2020. We came in dead last and had absolute blast doing it. While I have many fond memories of that day, there is one that I will take to the grave: Last event of the day and I'm desperately trying to slug my way through the last set of toes to bar that my team needed to complete to finish the WOD. I suddenly notice everyone in the Box is cheering me on and a quick look left and right lets me know this probably has a lot to do with fact I'm the only one still working in that heat. Oh well, if you're going to go down, you might as well go down swinging.

I've entered my first comp then promptly run into a few issues with injuries and illness and was starting to get cold feet. Just listening to you has reminded me - it's just for fun, no big deal. Good timing - thanks

Love this video... will definitely be checking out your other competition content. I'd love an more thorough video about competition day nutrition. do I eat fruit loops or stick with clean carbs? should I change my meals if it a cardio WOD or a lifting WOD. How much time should I allow between meals? Comp day eating stresses me out more the workouts. lol. I've been searching for an in depth discussion on the topic and haven't found any good videos yet. 🤷🏻♀️
