Four weeks left! Just four weeks until Team CrossFit Central will be competing at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA!
Coach Rudy is still bringing the pain with our workouts, but we know it is only making us better. Spirits are high in the gym and people are still setting PRs weekly in various lifts and movements.
Recovery on the whole is good – sleep and nutrition have become the priority. In bed at 9:00PM, up to coach at 5:00AM. Eight SOLID hours! Hydration and the maintaining proper nutrition and supplementation are so very critical to being able to take on and recover from the grueling WODs that Rudy has given to us.
