Crossfit in 100 words

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar. Keep intake levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: deadlift, clean, squat, presses, c&j, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc..hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports

OPT: Function

Felt good going into today, got about 6 hours of sleep. I've been spending a good amount of time concentrating on what I'm eating and how much fluid I'm putting in. I've definitely been feeling strong in the workouts due to this. Also been spending a significant amount of time stretching, and also working on a multitude of different stretches and have seen drastic improvement in mobility.

Warm Up
10 OHS w/pvc (overhead squat)
10 SDHP w/kb (sumo deadlift high pull)
15 sit ups
(x3)

Training: (Function)

for time:
80 squats
80 cals rowed
80 KBS - 20/12 kg
(score as total time - goal is solid pacing throughout with balanced breathing)

Results:
12:22 (Rx)

Felt satisfied with the results of this WOD. It was a challenge to pace this workout since the movements are quite simple. I was planning on the kbs' to be easier than they were, which hurt my time quite a bit since I had to break them up a lot. Apparently 80 squats and rowing wears your legs down quite a bit and I was having some trouble popping the hips open for the kbs'. If I were to do it again, I'd definitely pace a little differently, but felt strong throughout the workout.
