Day 354 - Double Unders - Jump for Joy

Here's to keeping it real in the new year.  Today's WOD was for time.  5 Rounds.  And it included double unders if you have them.  How many times have you started out doing double unders in a WOD and then you get frustrated after only stringing 4-5 together at a time and you feel like you are taking so much time starting over.  And starting over.  And starting over.  So you go to singles cause that clock is ticking.

 After I looked at the times on the white board for the early class, I was tempted to just do singles and jump fast.  But I have double unders.  And I decided that no matter how long the WOD took me, I was going to do doubles.  But the jump rope gods were looking down on me today, because in the first round the doubles came easy and I got through them like nothing.  And if I had done singles I would have cheated myself of that experience.  I finished all five rounds with DU's and in the last round I got them unbroken.  


So here's to believing in yourself more and pushing yourself to do a heavier weight or doing pull ups without a band in a WOD if you have a couple pull ups, or doing double unders in a WOD if you have a couple DU's.  Even if it takes you longer.  Even if you are the slowest time on the board today.   The feeling of accomplishment is worth it.
