We very well know the feeling from a WOD: we haven’t done this movement at this load or volume. Or not ever.
The coach reminds us of the technique, checks our form and then it’s now or never, into the unknown. When it’s done, another one is chalked up to the arsenal of new skills.
Something similar happens when skiing a new traverse, chute or steep. You know the technique but the snow may be different. Or that rock on the left… Then it’s 3-2-1-GO and the anxiety turns into exhilaration. That’s what skiing is like most days in Utah…
