I suppose the whole crossfit thing is to throw yourself at a brick wall until you feel like death. The guys on the main crossfit site seem to want to work until failure all the time. I’m not sure that’s the most sensible thing. I mean, you don’t see other athletes throwing up all the time. The idea is to finish first, not die at the end. So, when someone told me that to take it easy on the rowing part of the workout (1000m rowing followed by 50 thrusters and 30 pullups) I did.

Actually, I think I really figured out what probably helped the most in my workout today. I was sick all weekend, so I slept 8 hours Friday night, 6 hours Saturday afternoon, and then 11 hours Saturday night. Then, after taking it easy all Sunday, I pigged out at my sister’s. So, that’s probably part of it. And coming off of my cold was probably the only reason I was able to take it easy on the row. It was all serendipity.

I suppose the next reasonable thing to do is to start on the Zone diet. I borrowed another book of zone recipes but now I have to find some time to read it. This going to work thing is really getting in the way.
