* 43th RX in 204 cf main page wods in one year (heavy days included). This was the worst anniversary wod I could think of. Every parameter was worst compared to September, in particular stress and prior strain. Eventhough, I couldn't improve my results in this benchmark I improved a lot in general. I definitivly became fitter. My bodyweight increased by three kilos while my body fat decreased significantly. I can do more pull ups, push ups, sit ups, squats in better form. All my lifts increased significantly while I made great progress in regard of form and stability. There is progress in all the other movements as well, including rowing. If anybody wants to do this program by their own I can highly recommend doing the cf online courses scaling, spot the flaw and the masters course in particular. Thanks to CrossFit for this program. Let's start the second year!

19:26.7 As rx’d. PR by about 15 seconds. damper=7 No warmup or calories beforehand today. Started alternating between 1:59 and 1:55 pace every minute for the first 11 minutes or so. Then spent 5-6m at 1:57-2:00, and went hard the last 750m or so...1:55 and speeding up to 1:49 by the end. Alternated stroke rate between 21 and 25, usually using the faster stroke rate to row a slower pace and slow hard strokes to row fast.

19:40 - Rx (Not a PR but still fast for me. Breathing felt really good, but my legs are smoked. Hamstrings were not happy from the get-go and quads fell off about halfway in. Stayed close to 1:56/500m for the first 2k, then dropped off to 2:00-2:03/500m for the next two. Accelerated until the last 500m and pushed for a 1:45/500m pace which was as close to red-line as possible.)

Been an athlete (recreational and competitive bicycling) for 52 years and cross fitter since 2015. Self-proclaimed “expert” on nutrition. Top of the trees taco salad bowl recipe looks good – fresh ingredients, little processed foods, heart healthy and tasty. For me to use any recipe I look beyond the ingredients. Two basic metrics that need to meet my standard for “healthy” - % fat and % sodium and potassium top the list. Fully understand CF offers many recipes and it would be impossible to send recipes to an independent lab for nutrition analysis. So any recipe falls into the “let the buyer beware” category. Please don’t get me wrong, overall I would feel comfortable making this entrée. Keep them coming.
For future recipes from CF HQ suggest the following. These would go beyond a simple listing of ingredients and train athlete to do an ingredient drill down to get the best possible benefit from their diet. We are what we eat and what we eat is a critical factor for effective training and completive competitions.
Suggestions to fine-tune recipe:
ground beef – like 85% fat content
taco seasonings - % sodium
sour cream – light, like fat 2.5 g. fat, 15 m sodium, and potassium, if it is listed
ranch dressing – look for “X percent fat & sodium” (any alternatives to dressing, like lemon?) I haven’t used dressing in years and eat romaine salad daily.
corn chips – sodium guidelines helpful
Thank you.

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
In high school/college I always skipped the 5k runs/rows when they came up, and instead did a basketball-specific workout. "Cindy on the Court" is what I called it: AMRAP in 20 minutes of: 5 made 3's, 10 made elbow jumpers, 15 and-1 lay-ups with contact. So if you don't have a rower, another way to look at this workout is just a single-modality day, meaning spend 20 minutes of doing the same thing at a high intensity. Matter of fact, I think I may have wrote about this before in another rant. Concussions are getting to me!
