Camille Leblanc-Bazinet: This is what a cheater doesn't look like.
With the CrossFit games a couple of months away and the Regionals creeping up on us, we will all be reminded of the Qualifier workouts most of us had done a few weeks back. We will be reminded of the heart, integrity, and passion that we all shared as well as the competitive nature of our sport. What we most likely will not think of are those who cheated themselves, not only did they cheat themselves but they cheated you and their box and the honor within CrossFit. This article from My Athletic Life is a must read for everyone at my gym. Know that when you think you are getting by or not doing those couple extra reps because you “lost count”, that there is someone out there, probably right next you that goes the extra mile and in time will probably still beat you, not to mention that there are always eyes watching even when you don’t think so… Enjoy, and think about this at the beginning of every workout.
