“Like success, failure is many things to many people. With a positive mental attitude: Failure is a learning experience A rung on the ladder A plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again!” - W Clement Stone . . The Tuxedo Spartan race was a big learning experience for me. Looking forward to building on that and take on the challenging Indian Mud Run this weekend! Who else is going?? 🦁👍🏽👍🏽
I had someone ask me recently how I handle the rings when they’re wet and slippery. So I thought I’d make this video to demonstrate. . . When the rings are wet and the one armed monkey-swing method seems treacherous, I like to use both hands on the ring for a secure hold. I lay the second hand on top of the first one while I swing forward so if I happen to slip I have a better chance to recover. I then alternate hands so that one isn’t doing all of the gripping. . . This method doesn’t require the 90 hold that the sideways method does, so you can do this with less upper body strength. It may be a little slower than other methods, but it is a very secure way to get to that bell! 🔔 . . Let me know if this helps or if you have any questions or comments!! 🦁👍🏽👍🏽 . 🎥 @silbfit_
Most Monday’s are Medal Monday, but today for me it’s #MotivationMonday. This weekend was a whirlwind of crazy activity and an amazing race event! . . Started off for me on Thursday when I realized I never actually signed up for Saturday’s race in Tuxedo. Everything was sold out so I had to sign up for Elite. Have a lot of respect for the athletes that race consistently in that wave, it was super humbling to see them in action. Being around them actually helped push me harder! . . Sunday morning I was woken up by all the rain. My knees were a little stiff and with Indian Mud Run coming up next weekend, I thought maybe I should sit Sunday’s race out. Also knowing how technical the terrain was, adding all the rain to it made me ok with my decision to not race. . . Honestly, it ended up being the best thing I could do. I got to watch all the Elite and most of the Age Group starts. Being a Spectator aka Cheerleader for the day was an amazing experience. I loved seeing all the competition and my friends just crushing that course! My voice still hurts from all the yelling. . . I also liked seeing so many familiar faces volunteering and officiating especially! Like Jeremy said “If you’re gonna complain about people breaking the rules why not do something about it and help enforce them?” . . How was everyone else’s weekend? I wanna hear about it!
“When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with yells of “I’m in!” Be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe!” 🦁👍🏽👍🏽 . . One of the things I’m most thankful for with OCRs, is all the energizing and inspirational people I’ve been lucky enough to meet! Like my OCR Sister in this picture, Silvia! She works hard, doesn’t make excuses, and has come back even stronger after injury. She is the epitome of the phrase: “Small but mighty!” 💪🏽 . . Who is your OCR Brother/Sister? Who in your tribe motivates and inspires you?? Tag them and tell me about them!! #FriendFriday
#TBT Tuxedo 2017 One of my favorite Spartan race venues. Looking forward to heading back there this weekend for 2 days of racing! 🦁👍🏽👍🏽 . . Can’t wait to see all the OCR Fam! Who’s gonna be there?? Let me know!
🔊 SOUND ON 🔊 Haven’t shared an obstacle video in awhile so I thought I’d share these Fail/Success videos on the obstacle Chopsticks at Savage Race. . . Very awkward obstacle that really makes you think about your foot placement. But once you know the technique, it’s much easier. . . What obstacles do you struggle with?? Let me know and maybe I can help! 🦁👍🏽👍🏽 . . Thanks @billyf181 for the tips 🎥 @ocrmnetwork
