  I am in complete agreement with the “say no” to drugs bit.

  I had taken many Ibus at my last half iron this summer, as was recommended and suggested by many in my triathlon club. I normally dont’ take any medication so I wasn’t in the know. I did what was recommended: take IBU prior to the start, at transition and on the bike. It was quite the horrific ride, my knees were killing so I just kept popping them hoping it would hurt less, in totaly I took 13 in my 6:32 race. The worst thing I could have ever done, I paid for it for around 12 hours after, I can live with muscle pain, but that was not muscle pain, it was my body freaking out with the nasty drugs! SICK SICK SICK!!!

  Haven’t touched them since.

  I find it interesting that for the swamp donkey this weekend, we are required to bring IBU with us, I can assure you, no one on my team will be ingesting them!

  Just say NO!

  I’ve actually noticed since starting CrossFit and drinking copious amounts of fish oil that I no longer get headaches (to which the only thing that helped anymore were T3′s since I’ve become immune to most other painkillers) Weee!
  Besides, I love that day-after muscle pain. I wine, I grimace, I limp and hobble, but it feels so awesome. I know I’ve done a good job then
  No pain no gain, right?

  Here’s an important point from the article I’d like to highlight…..

  “Bask in your soreness!Brag about it at work as your friends help you get up off the toliet. And above all, practice all the recovery tricks you know! These include: Proper nutrition, fluid intake, ice bath, fish oil, active recovery, stretching, massage, etc.”

  @ Brendan. I giggled at the ‘friends help you off the toilet’… cause after Murph.. It was touch and go getting on AND off the toilet. Sometimes I would sit there going… how the hell am I going to get off now? lol

  I brag at work and to all my friends all the time…why do you think you get so many referals from me…hahahaha…

  I did the ice bath thing while training for my full marathon in 06… I trained the “old school” way and needed something after the Sunday LSDs…IT REALLY WORKS for reducing inflammation and doms…@brendan

  Power snatch
  7 work sets of 3-4 reps/set
  Started at 50# and built up to 80#

  The 80# set felt a little sloppy..so I actually finished with a solide set @ 75#

  I did program B- cannot remember all of the numbers. Started at 65, finished at 90. PR for me, but MLC u know I wanted to match your 100!! Nice job!!

  I couln’t row 500m today, I literally couldn’t finish it. I was totally disheartened. I tried and my heart felt like it was going to explode. I have some stress to manage, I’ll take a crack at it again when I can breath.

  @Crystal KP
  I told B this morning that I didn’t want to write my numbers on the board cuz I knew you would chase it!
  But you will blow past my 100 in no time, that I am sure of.
