I guess I did improve on my time. Now I know what you mean on why it's important to keep a record of our WODs. :) Thanks for cheering me Kate. Yadira says:

HEY “CJ”,
I did write my time down. I guess I did improve on my time. Now I know what you mean on why it’s important to keep a record of our WODs. :)
Thanks for cheering me Kate.

It could double as a cooler for frosty beverages for post WOD carbohydrate replenishment. Cynthia, great idea.

Barry and I can bring one up to Aromas in the camping house, if you guys want us to. And we can have Michele and POS get in it for a while and then we'll sell their used water to all competitors that want their mojo! $$$$$$$$ :) Hey how about a kiddie pool filled up with ice and water?

Now I am not saying that is the reason my legs felt good for the 2K row but it certainly helped. We might have to have one with us up in Aromas. Comment on the Ice Bath:

Considering I had run maybe a mile or two in the months leading up to this, I had quite a lot of lingering soreness yesterday and decided to take one of the dreaded ice baths that Calvin mentioned above. As much as I hate the cold, I went down to the store, bought a few 20# bags of ice, dumped them in the tub with some water and jumped in. After a minute or two, I was able to breathe again and actually started to relax. I definitely think my 20 minute soak helped, and if you'd like to try it for yourself, just make sure you finish up with a warm shower afterwards. Lastly, for Cody Mac, here's a link to the creatine that we talked about the other day: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/ast/cm.html Yeah, I know, it's a body building site, but they have good prices.

Thanks for the expansion and added detail from my post. Yes, these issues are probably more common than overtraining for those who have been CrossFitting for some amount of time. I usually find that those who are suspect of overtraining are pretty new to CrossFit (myself & Mark included). I used to CF six times per week then run 3-4 times per week and swim 2-3 times per week thinking "more is better". It took me a few months to figure out that wasn't the case at all. It took me nearly two years to hop on board w/ the rest of this stuff (mainly the stretching/maintenance). I have seen HUGE gains since! Right on point! Great post Cal!
