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

Repeats Revisited

Early start for today, felt pretty good but needed some time to wake up and get stretched out. Last night I was feeling a little sick to the stomach, but not so bad that I worried too much about it. I've also been watching my diet pretty closely, especially the amount of fluids I'm getting.

Training: (Function)

5 sets for 400m times:
20 anchored sit ups AFAP
rest 10 sec
Sprint 400 m @ 90-95%
rest 5 min

Results:
Set 1- 59 seconds
Set 2 - 61 seconds
Set 3 - 71 seconds
Set 4- 76 seconds
Set 5 70 seconds

Compared to the past few running days, my legs felt much better after each repeat. The last few workouts my legs were fairly tight, today they felt much looser and also didn't tighten up to much throughout the workout. I'm a little disappointed that I slowed down so much as it went on. I wanted to keep the times under 70 seconds. Although, after the second set my stomach was extremely upset. The same feeling I had had last night came right back. I feel like I pushed through it nicely and came back stronger than I thought I would for the rest of the workout.
