Wow! What an incredible experience! First off I’d like to shoutout all the incredible burn trainers that gave it their all this weekend. These workouts were BRUTAL. It was amazing to see everyone give it their all. It’s truly inspiring to see how we pushed each other to do our best! We have the BEST trainers in the world Congratulations @jilldaddario for placing #1 for the women! (and yes she beat me in the final pyramid, this girl is a BEAST!)

After some recovery time and self reflection, I am finally ready to give my thoughts and express my feelings about the first ever Burn Athlete Games.
This past weekend was.....humbling, to say the least. I was surrounded by the top 2% of Burn Trainers from around the country. Intimidating doesn’t even begin to express how I felt going into this weekend, but I was also nervously excited to meet some of these @burnbootcamp “celebrities.” I was incredibly honored to earn a spot in the finals and compete against these amazing athletes! I couldn’t believe I was one of them! My goal when signing up for the Athlete Games was to just make it...make it to Charlotte. Become a “Burn Athlete.” If I made it, whatever came next, was icing on the cake.
Well, I DID make it and round 1 came and went. I was pleased with my performance. 100 Full Burpees is NO JOKE! But I was proud of my form, proud that my body did what I had trained for, and so proud that I finished with a great time (much faster than I predicted). It was grueling but I made it. One down... Then came round 2 - “The 200”. I’m sure you’ve seen the live videos...I started out strong, and then....my body just couldn’t keep up. Everything started failing out. My anxiety started raising, I was nauseous, my whole back and hamstrings just stopped functioning. I was frustrated, exhausted and annoyed. I wanted to quit. I thought about it. And then I thought about it again. And again. But...I didn’t quit. I kept at it. Some times even one rep at a time. Finally, I got there. I finished. It was ugly. It was gut-wrenching.....It was so. incredibly. humbling.
I struggled to find peace that night. To put it bluntly, I was embarrassed. All the self-doubt and negativity got to me. I struggled through many negative thoughts of myself, my performance and I felt completely rattled. I say all of this to say that I NEEDED to go through this to get stronger. Did I let those feelings linger? Nope. Did I let them ruin my Athlete Games? NO! I accepted and owned my performance and I was reminded of the journey I have taken to get to this point...
