We had the honor to host the BBN crew this morning for Log Fran. Needless to say it was pretty epic and a good time. Below is something I found on OPT's blog, and for those who don't follow OPT's stuff, he normally has great material.

Big Dawg Mantra
I know you...
I know you're bigger, faster and stronger than me.
I know your Fran time is lower, your 5k is quicker and your deadlift is heavier.
I know you have 1,000 views on YouTube.
I know you're a "WOD" warrior.

I know you, but you don't know me.

You don't know what's in my head, what's in my heart, what's in my soul.
You don't know that pain is my ally.
You don't know that sweat and blood are my training partners.
You don't know that I'm unbreakable.

I know you train in your temperature controlled gym with the tough sounding name while I'm training in garage exposed to the elements. In the heat and in the cold, in the humidity, rain and snow, I'm forging mental toughness. I'm tempering my resolve. I'm fueling my passion. I'm getting ready for the day that we meet.

I know your 1,000 YouTube views won't mean shit in front of 1,000 spectators. I know when the heat goes up I go big and you go home.

I know you don't know me...but you will.

  1. Eric, that Big Dawg Mantra is fantastic. As you know, I read OPT's blog all the time. I am not sure how I missed that. I thought it fitting that we post the link to his blog. http://optimumperformancetraining.blogspot.com/
