At the beginning of 2012 CrossFit was still just a method of training i was using to help me improve my performance on the rugby pitch. I picked up an injury a couple of month's into the season which required me to take some time off, during this time i travelled down to London to spectate at the London Throwdown. This was the moment i realised i didn't just want to do CrossFit to become fitter, i needed to compete.
It was a very difficult decision to stop playing rugby but it was a necessary step i needed to take to give myself the best chance possible at becoming competitive.
In the whole it has been a successful year! I got my first taste of competition, competing for CrossFit Teesside at Divided We Fall in Swansea where we finished in 30th place from a field of 110 teams. I also kept my word and qualified for a place on the other side of the barrier at this years London Throwdown.
The table below shows the difference a year of dedicated training can make.
2013 Goals
I don't think i have to change very much in order to achieve my goals. Other that a bit more focus in specialist areas such as swimming, I just need to continue to turn up, apply myself and the rewards will come.
