Had it not been for the extreme recovery time this would have been a complete train wreck. CrossFit is HIGH INTENSITY. However, I completed my 750 row at a 500m pace.
What I was doing wasn’t recovery between exercises it was freaking survival. Panic breathing? Yeah, like Fay Wray when she realizes her island gateway date is a 60 ft ape. My point (I knew I left it here somewhere) is that even though intensity is key, it does not preclude pacing, as long as you end with the tank empty you probably will come out with a faster time because of your efficient use of your effort. Or you can look like Clubber Lang at the end of Round 3, sweaty, sucking wind and realizing you’re in over your head. (Anyone not understanding the last reference you must immediately rent Rocky III, the only sequel in the bunch worth it!)
Sara, I believe it was the Apache who said “Today is a good day to die.”
Ok… report from the out of shape L1 – I must admit for the first time – I saw that there was a 3mi L3 run yesterday and wimped out – using my tweaked knee as an excuse. Now I apologize to myself
…and I can’t wait to do rowing and thrusters today!
Note: Please don’t wimp out – you will feel guilty all evening until you go the next day.
Good post, Buddy. Whenever any of us feel like “wimping out” watch this video.

Well the video didn’t post. Go to Crossfit.com and watch the video for today.
WOW! Now I feel worse for missing
That was an incredible video.

Crossfit just isn’t the same without Matt P. I am realizing how much I missed you! Thanks for hanging around this morning and getting back to your one of a kind posts. After the HUGE 5AM crew leaves, it gets lonely!
And Matt M. as much as I give a hard time b/c you scare me, I love when you just tell me what I am going to do and don’t let me wimp out! THANKS!
yes, matt is the “boot in the ass” trainer. When he raises his voice at me, it keeps me from wimping out. Mostly because if he had to actually yell at me for being a total wimp in the workout that’d scare me more than the workout itself. And on days like today, I will need a little (read: major) kick in the ass. We say all this with total respect for you, Matt
