"CrossFit is about exploring your personal potential. It’s why people climb mountains. It’s not really about the mountain. It’s about how deep you can travel into your own perceived limits. We all experience transcendence when we move beyond our previous best. I get nervous before a WOD because I know I will come face to face with my own negative internal chatter. “you can’t do it. You’re not good enough. You’re not strong enough. Etc.” I win when I try once again. I win when you win because I’m watching to celebrate your personal triumph. Only those who try get it.
It’s not about CrossFit it’s about that." -Joe Lengel, October 29th 2012
