THE CrossFit Moment That Haunts Noah Ohlsen the Most

I would say the moment that maybe haunts me the most to where like for a little while I'd be laying in bed reliving it and like get the the Shivers and be like ah Let It Go for those serious about the sport of Fitness now is the time to build strength gymnastics skills and improve your overall capacity we have divisions for RX intermediate Masters and Elite athletes for more information go to trainingthinktank.com um at the 2020 games when we had the final five thing out in Aromas games yeah I went into the last workout in fifth place I think and didn't really know this until after the fact but if I had won the final workout at Atlanta I would have jumped myself onto the podium and finished in third and that would have been back to back podiums which like even right now I just got like a bad shiver down my spine like that's so legit to me in my mind that's such a big accomplishment to Podium twice yeah you've solidified yourself as like respect versus just doing it once it's like ah maybe it was a fluke whatever I think you've earned enough respect over the last 10 years I know what you're thinking about that but yeah I mean you start to think of what has accomplished to that point like you should still respect thank you what do you think about when you think you said it keeps you up at night right right I was gonna say I'm gonna finish that thought so I didn't know that going into the workout and I found out after but during that workout which was super long and difficult I was in first place for a little bit like I finished all the gymnastics and went out for the final mile run with a weighted vest in first haters out there yes I know Matt Frazier probably could have beat me if he wanted to because he ended up like hanging back with Tia they wanted to finish holding hands and crossing the Finish Line together regardless yeah regardless Matt was behind me I was in first my body was shutting down it was literally there was a mile run between me and getting on the podium again and I could not continuously run I stopped during that mile run probably four or five times to walk a little bit because ever my adductors my glutes my calves were all cramping and it was just so painful like the memory I have of Matt and tia coming around the corner passing me and just like separating that Gap and as I watched them finish ahead of me I was like Max actually said to me he was standing on the sideline at a certain point and he was like if you catch him you get on the podium with like maybe 800 meters to go or 600 meters to go and I literally couldn't I was just like I can't my body won't let me like I want to really bad that motivates me a lot but I just can't and so what does that feel like I don't know it doesn't happen often have you felt that probably once or twice in your whole career yeah we're like you just can't physically keep going yeah and it sounds like an excuse and I feel like it's an excuse when I say it but I as much as I wanted to like I mean your body's just shutting down Sprint like come on it's only 600 meters left I tried and it was just like I mean I think you could even tell watching videos of like the marathon people finishing and like they can't that's kind of to a degree what's taking place in your body Grant I didn't just want a marathon but like the whole workout itself and I think all of those things built up like you want to push and mentally you feel great but like you just you can't yeah I think I was under fueled exhausted there was nobody there it was like a mentally emotionally really weird experience so anyway that was that is a low point that I feel like that was one of those like what if moments like if only I had pushed a little harder where you go back and you're like could I have you start to doubt yourself you're like in the moment I know I couldn't have but but could I have yeah you always play it back that way if you like that clip from episode 131 of the Corpus Anonymous podcast with Noah Olsen and Travis mayor click here to watch the full thing
