Summary

The CrossFit Open is here, which means now is the perfect time to bring you my conversation with Katrin Davidsdottir. The Iceland native got into CrossFit because her mom thought that she’d be good at it. Fast forward two years, and she was already competing on an international stage at the CrossFit Games in 2012. Now, she’s a 2x Games champion, but she’s also had her fair share of hardships along the way. In episode 78, we talk about the single event that changed the course of her career as an athlete — a #hurdlemoment that some may see as a failure, but she viewed otherwise. I praise her for her optimistic, opportunistic attitude, and we talk about how identifying your values is the first step to success in any endeavor. She also shares what she eats in a typical day, as well as the motivational tool she uses to get her through the hardest rep. Huge thanks to Ascent Protein for the connect.

1:03.9	shout out to Hurdle's sponsor this week, Whoop. Let me tell you, last week leading up to race day, I have never been more attentive to
1:14.1	things like my recovery and my sleep. And Whoop made that really, really simple. The wrist-worn
1:21.0	heart rate monitor easily connects to an easy-to-interpret app on my cell phone, which gives
1:26.2	me awesome data on things like the different
1:28.4	phases of my sleep, deep sleep, REM sleep, light sleep, as well as an overall score for my recovery
1:34.9	the next day to give me some insight as to whether or not maybe I should take a step back or
