Reflections of CrossFit SM 2011

I had a short stay In Sweden last weeked, It was the Swedish CrossFit Championship and my first competition as an athlet.

Finished 5th of the Sweds and 8th overall,  am proud with that but not satisfied.
I love to compete and I always gain allot of knowlage in my self durning an event like this.'
I feel that I have more in me.
It was long ago I was at a big event like this to compete myslef, and Im so thankful to have all the friends, my family and the community who supported me durning this weekend. The atmosphere and the people made ​​it easy for me to get into the competition phase, I missed for so long.

I had a crack in my right hand long finger and know I was going to have problem with my grip.(If you can't grip you will get a bad rip)

Was amazed how I keep solving that problem durning the events, I felt very confident in how to phase my self embrace that problem.

Going in to a event or any situation in life, I have a "gameplan" same plan as always. -It's simple,,

"An dialogue with my feelings and my experiences" 
Everytime Im push myself outside my comfert zone I have to be sure to read the collaboration between these two.
The situation will never be the same from time to time so I have to trust my decision.
Focus is my best tool in a situation like that.

I try to be in the moment, I try to not decided in advance how it will feel or how to continue, with clear mind I'm going to solve the task at the best possible way for my ability.

I got the cravings back! I lookforward to next competition, see you there / Andreas

Even heros have the right to bleed / CrossFit SM 2011.

So..

I got some request to start blogg and I guess it's a good way for me to reflect of what's going on in my life.
-Beware of miss spelling.

I live at the moment in Luxembourg,(Luxembourg town) I moved here 6 month ago after having had the opportunity to become head coach and participated in the launching of Luxembourg first CrossFit Facility.

I did't know anyone here,
I do not speak the languages, but I have an endless passion for sports, health and new challenges. That's why I went for it. easy?

So, this summer I have had most of my focus on our bussnise to get members, programing and everything like get a rutine in the living here so my training has not been prio 1.

I was first frustrated and upset when I felt that I could not workout as I wanted, my comfort zone was tested and all easy stuff like train" relax and enjoy was more decent.

I have not had access to a gym, sparring or the competition challenges that surrounded me at home. The social challenge in a new country and all the little things were added together so that I had to focus more than ever to motivate myself to exercise.

I pretty much remember that day when I started to be embrace that feeling and deal with it.

It's hard to say how you developed durning a move like this but now while I do this post I feel that I have more clearness in why I do this journey...
