I’ll race ya…
Super fun workout Saturday – we broke up into teams and got competitive. The teams ran through a 4-part course three times, with 3 minutes in between for the teams to re-strategize. It was fascinating to watch how fast people were able to figure out what worked and what didn’t, how willing everyone was to make changes, and how smart the tweaks were to get the team as a whole moving more efficiently. Very unlike how things tend to happen in the non-Queerfit world.
Especially on the final run, the intensity was turned way up, with everyone pushing harder because they wanted to win. Competition runs the spectrum – it can be everything from just silly to downright soul crushing – because we load it up with all sorts of value judgements. The winner is the best, and the losers are, well, losers. What Saturday’s workout did, though, was remind us that it can also be utterly joyful to compete.
So…we’re at The Wall (660 Irwin) today, and we’ll talk afterward about whether we want to sign up for this Tactical Strength competition, happening here in Atlanta on Dec. 14, or put one together of our own. See you today at 6:15!
