While the Games ended today - Chapaeu, Froning and Leblanc-Bazinet - but I already feel signs of "CrossFit withdrawal" that are expressed in mental obsession with, and anxiety about my performance and level of strength. I have been working so hard to get where I was and really don't want to lose any of my strength but instead I want to keep working on my weaknesses. But I cannot. I had to quit.
I am starting to freak out.
I don't want to start over nor do I want to accept it if I need to.
I don't want to start over nor do I want to accept it if I need to.
I'm trying to tell myself, that it will be ok, that I will just get super strong legs and work on my core. And that's what I am doing, but honestly, I feel like I won't be able to get my chest, shoulder and arm strength back as quickly as I would like to when I can work it again. If I can work it again:
I'm also getting scared about my gymnastics. I mean I really need all he time I can get to work on my muscle up, my handstand walks, and aside of that my snatch. Let's say, I can return to my normal workout style in October, how long will it take me to get my strength back? How fast can I work on butterfly, and other drills?
Ugh, the metcon part will be ok. I have big tank and I usually only need a couple of months to get that in shape. But, the rest...
And if I need hand surgery also I'm going to scream! Seriously.
My game plan for now is:
1. Rest my left hand and pray that the knot will just disappear;
2. Work on my core and legs;
3. Get the epidural injection in my neck;
4. Work on nutrition;
5. Stay sane and breathe.
