I have been doing a hybrid of o-lifting and Crossfit. Running as little as possible (although i ran a mile today) and focusing my metcon training under 15 minutes. I train when i feel like it and relax when i don’t. I am doing what i enjoy and enjoying what i do. I know this is not what Crossfit preaches but i am going to be honest with you…If i did shit i hated everyday just to get better at crossfit, i would never workout! It is worth it to me to do what i enjoy and keep training. This doesn’t mean i do easy stuff or things that are enjoyable. I love to be challenged and there is something about Crossfit workouts that suck you in. Its like being addicted to a drug.

In addition i feel that what i enjoy will allow me to achieve a high enough fitness level to not only compete in the games but do anything else i want. What do i do??
I lift heavy shit and do metcons usually shorter than 15 minutes. I usually lift everyday. followed by something i either saw on someones site or got from a buddy. I don’t have a set program. More than likely if i did, i wouldn’t follow it anyway. I don’t like being told what to do.

The last thing i want to add about my training is that i am committed to Crossfit style training and really want to win. I will not, however; jump off a cliff if i don’t win. I have been competing in something for just about 23 years and feel satisfied with what i have accomplished. I truly think the future of the Crossfit games is going to be driven by the coaches ability to develop an athlete.

My games predictions…
I think number one for the next 3 years possibly 5 will be a new comer. If the new comer doesn’t win… Speal will. He is legit. Strong and Fast.
I am not even going to guess about the events but the qualifiers are very interesting. We will see if they chose their tests appropriately by the athletes they send.

What do you think? Do you know the dark horse?? Who is he?
