there's no crying in crossfit

Apparently, CrossFit can rip emotions right out of someone. Yesterday during the timed WOD I began to what I refer to as a hyperventilate cry. It was the oddest thing and even though I tried to push through it, it was seriously prohibiting me from finishing so I only got three out of the five sets complete. I was glad Dave pushed me to finish those but I was just emotionally spent. He said that is totally normal for CrossFit to push any issues to the forefront. I felt a bit defeated but reminded myself that I had to listen to my body and at that time, it was telling me to stop! It’s funny how as a child I didn’t worry about my parents and now their well-being shakes me to the core. In some aspects, it sucks to get old!
