CrossFit, sprinting and paleo... Let's see how this goes

Well, because of work I am unable to compete in the opens to try and score a spot in the regionals... Yeah I am destroyed about it, but the only plus side is that I have 12 months to go for the 2013 games. Have to wait a year for it to come around, but I "should" be a better athlete by then.

Changeover day / Competition day

So today is my changeover day, where I change from night shift to day shift.. Nothing really changes, when you're underground it's still pitch black without the lights on...

The important things about today are:
1. I get a full 24 hours off
2. Means I'm getting closer to home time and I get to see my toots again
3. I know I have goodies waiting at home for me... (thank you Life As RX'd)

So, with my 3 on 1 off schedulle, would you believe that my day 3 is TODAY? means it's time for something special and since I have a comp coming up on the 31st of March I think it's the day to test out my diet and training with a mock comp day, which will be 3 workouts today:
