Many of you have expressed an interest in food with questions such as: what should I eat, how much, when should I eat, and can what I eat improve my performance in the garage or while racing an event?  For the next couple months, we’ll use Wednesdays (because it is our rest day) to post information to get you thinking about food.   We’ll start with the basics – identifying real food.

WOD: Regional CrossFit Games Practice WOD Front Range CrossFit Denver, CO (will post workout when we return) Nice job on the Total yesterday.  I am pleased with everyone’s effort and appreciate the teamwork that got everyone through the lifts within the hour time frame.  Some of you had never worked up to a one rep max.  Some of you were pleased with your performance while others walked away thinking they could have done more.  That’s ok, now we have a starting point.  A lot more than sheer lifting the heavy load goes on when doing the Total for the first time – it’s a learning process.
