Brit Lucy Campbell Accepts Fear of Failure to Qualify for CrossFit Games
Lucy Campbell became the second British athlete to qualify for the CrossFit Games after finishing fifth at the Lowlands Throwdown in the Netherlands two weekends ago.
Campbell, 25, is a Games rookie. Two years ago she wrote “Games 2022” on a mindmap and wrote all her strengths and weaknesses as a path to qualifying.
Then just two months after writing down her goal, Campbell sustained a serious back injury, throwing her plans into jeopardy.
“I spent a lot of the next year not training properly so it didn't feel like 2022 was realistic anymore. It was the year I targeted but things didn't go to plan around it, so I no longer thought this was the year it would happen,” she said.
