Some technique work.  Kept missing at heavy weights so figured it was better to drop intensity and work on doing it technically better.

So recently I watched the crossfit documentary on Mikko Salo.  Toughest dude I've ever seen mentally.  And this idea of the finnish word - SISU, is what sums it up.  Translated as strength of will, determination, perseverance, and acting rationally in the face of adversity.  He shows this to the T.  Here's my favorite quote of his and one that I'm putting into practice - "When animals surrender, they lie on their back; and then I decided I'll nevery lie on my back.  It's a sign of weakness and surrendering...never lying on my back..."  Refuse to quit and never surrender.  


"I don't think people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive."
