Whatever challenge #2: Philip Thun Bisgaard
Part two in Whatever challenge interviews is Philip Thun Bisgaard!
Danish Philip is the once brilliant football star who, due to (or thanks to?) an injury had to quit and instead fell in love with CrossFit. Philip is a living proof that nothing is impossible: when you want something good enough, anything is possible. Apparently it is, since Philip reached the best placement among men in Denmark's CrossFit Open, top 37 Worldwide - and now get to compete in World Championship CrossFit Regionals.
Whatever challenge – describe your next challenge!
It’s definitely CrossFit Regionals, which is held 15–18th of May in Berlin.
Any butterflies in the stomach yet?
Yes, I feel it more and more as we get closer to the competition!
Tell us more about your workout plan, how have you prepared for the competition?
We have not known the exercises for so long and it has therefore been difficult to know exactly how to prepare. But let me put it this way: I've spent a lot of time walking on my hands!
How have you managed to stay focused?
Staying focused is somewhat easy when you have worked the entire year for this.
What motivates you the most: realistic plans or bold dreams?
Right now, the fact that I finished so strongly in Open and that I'm going to compete in Regionals have given me enormous strength. So, a mix between realistic plans and bold dreams I would say!
What is your main goal with Regionals?
It's actually to have as much fun as possible and to learn a lot.
What do you like the most about CLN Athletics clothes?
This is probably going to sound a bit strange, but the fact that I barely feel that I wear the clothes is the best part. They are never in the way and restrict no movement. I really love all of CLN Athletics shorts!
At last, 3 advices when the motivation dips?
This is probably going to sound a bit strange, but the fact that I barely feel that I wear the clothes is the best part. They are never in the way and restrict no movement. I really love all of CLN Athletics shorts!
