Camille Leblanc-Bazinet Signs Up For The Open

The 2015 CrossFit Games Champion, Camille Leblanc Bazinet just signed up for the 2015 CrossFit Open. For years, Bazinet has been competing out of Canada East, dominating the region along side fellow CrossFit Games competitor Michele Letendre.
However, the big scoop is that she will be competing out of a new region this year. After marrying fellow CrossFit Athlete Dave Lipson, Bazinet relocated to Boulder, Colorado. With this change of location she has moved into the South West Region. The new competition will include athletes such as Amanda Goodman and Tiffany Hendrickson.

Will she qualify again for the CrossFit Games in 2015? Is there ever any doubt?

Camille LeBlanc Bazinet’s 3 Tips to Mental Success

clbpinkrehbands

“Convince the mind and the body will follow” – Unknown
The biggest challenge of successful WOD times and optimising your performance is often mental. Picking up the barbell when your mind is telling you otherwise, walking instead of running when your mind is telling you that your legs need a rest.

2014 CrossFit Games Champion Camille Le-Blanc Bazinet talked closely about her tips to success on CrossFit Radio Episode 163.

Camille LeBlanc Bazinet’s 3 Tips to Mental Success

1.  As you transition from one exercise to another force yourself to start the first rep immediately.

For example, if you are performing Cindy, once you complete the last pullup, immediately perform the first pushup.  This avoids the tendency to take relatively long breaks between movements and prevents you from succumbing to mental traps (if you already did one rep then the old “I’m not ready to start the next exercise” excuse doesn’t really cut it. Wuss.)

2. Run, do not walk, as you transition from exercise to exercise.

This will help you stay focused on the task at hand.  Do not take a detour to check if anyone texted you, I already checked for you, all your friends are too busy watching Friends reruns, eating cheetos, and wiping that nasty orange stuff on the bottom of their couch cushions. Run! Once you arrive at the next exercise see step one above.

3. Stay positive.

Alright. I know what you’re thinking.  This is one piece of advice I didn’t really need Mr. Sunshine. Maybe, but Camille’s take on this was very specific to moving heavy weights.  Since, she weighs about the same as the average kindergartner, I’d guess this is a mental challenge she faces on a regular basis.  So when prepping to attack a weight which is going to test you, remain positive, don’t rush into it, and get yourself positioned and set up perfectly before starting the lift.

Implement these tips on how to keep intensity high and your mental game sharp and start dominating your WODs!
