9:32 am
a days where you can't even get up because your body hurts or because you didn't have a good workout the day before or for k, i was one of the, with the one that's when your head comes in and you have to be strong followed because you have to be resilient. you have to face everything you're going through to continue on the path from low by accounting while coming up in their final training session. marianna and her team pushed themselves to the limit one last time the world championships are being hosted by their home country, mexico and they set their sights on victory looked at a moth also we wanted we dream about hitler, and every day we put in a little more effort to achieve or goal representing mexico at the highest level. i thought we were annoyed at having finished 4th last year with a sudden for last time we went with very low expectations last but i think what we lacked was self belief for
9:33 am
a belief that full mexicans could compete with athletes equal to or better than athletes. was he wildly hold of him to mariana, sport demand, total control, extreme discipline, all the while mind embody, must be completely insane by. yeah, i will get is what the mental aspect is vital. and this is something that many athletes neglect was and perhaps don't give as much weight to work done yet. but i talked to my coach and told him it doesn't make sense for me to train my body every day so hard that it hurts sometimes. and meanwhile, not train my mind. i wouldn't say now standstill. no, when i go, i'm in it like what? okay. i see an imbecile laugh is different. when i started out i got comments like you're getting too big or you're too mosley or guys don't like muscular girls for yourself. i got to a point where i didn't want to show how my body was changing because i feared the criticism yandell. when you look through them to day,
9:34 am
it no longer hurts or effects me. whoever such comments come from lately as long as i'm fine and i accept to myself, that's enough. if you are you there. yes. with as young as ethical because as with, with cisco, mickey with i walked on doing really well for marianna crossfit is also a journey of self discovery. a path to self acceptance. one, she openly lays bare and me know that we are and that in a few minutes i'm going to therapy. i'm working closely with the psychologist. got his article bearing prejudice and criticism. if you don't know how to deal with them, can be more of a strain than carrying a 300 pound ball bell. we all have problems. we all go through things with us. some of us in silent scale, but i think we should work on it, except that sometimes we're not well and except that sometimes we need help them by
9:35 am

9:36 am
competition. next, mariana has some difficulty during the hand stand walk, but quickly hands over to carla who finishes faster than expected. the norwegians were 1st to finish, but a strong team performance seized. the mexicans take 2nd place. i made an error in the ham stand walk, but i think we managed it. it was just a matter of breathing a little bit, concentrating and executing the last task perfectly. i found out that the mexicans made a strong started the competition. but marianna and carlos gymnastic skills are the ace up there, team sleeve. in this work out they decide to have the men compete in the 1st phase . the other teams have had their women start out. once they're done,
9:37 am
it's time for mexico's women to finish things up by going head to head with the other teams man. oh, marianna and carla don't slow down. they go toe to toe with the competition's big favorite norway. no. how did the do we know what happened today makes us feel a little calmer, more confident for tomorrow, which we know will be a bigger challenge. miguel positioning ourselves in a good place, gives us peace of mind. my can i get the mood after day one is my friendship. trust and respect. these are the pillars of marianas, crossfit, family, a cough in throwing up crossfit entered my life at a very unstable stage where they are now. and when i was a teenager,

9:39 am
marianna feels at ease in the water and is paired up with record. but soon other teams begin to get out of the water as carla and chris john are still in the pool. when they finally finished, they rushed towards the athletics track where the other teams have already garnered a healthy lead. once again, it's the norwegian team that leads the way after a photo finish. marianna and your teammates take 4th place in this work out. so when was that battle? we're in full some 8 seconds behind said i'm with them. it was very close even though we didn't stop very well place. we closed it out as well as we could and finished in a time. we still considered goodness, but act by what after the endurance test, the teams prepare for the 2nd work out of the day where their strength will be put to the test. the home team must improve on the morning's results and that means

9:41 am
perform a series of exercises with the so called worm. a sack that weighs 365 pounds. if that wasn't difficult enough, one member must leave to perform another set of exercises as an individual, leaving the other 3 to carry the worm alone. once again, the norwegians are 1st to finish, but this time there is a sense of saw the dera t, among the teams competing against each other. if a team is last old, the teams that finish before them as that is support that speaks to it being a good community. with that, this is yet the final work out as teens. by for a podium place, one last push from every squad member. each mistake is magnified the norwegian flag comes into view with them, a title defense is on the cards. well,
