Recovery Week

http://crossfitmobile.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/fitness-is.html

For the first time since starting crossfit in November, 2010. Im planning on resting for 5 days.
I will do some light rowing and might go for a slow jog. However im going to resist the urge to lift any heavy weights or engage in any form of intense exercise.
This is going to be tough for me, but im very keen to see what it will do for me in terms of my progress. Next week i will come back to fuck shit up again and it will be interesting to see how i feel/ if i can get even more out of my training. I have recently set many new pr's the last 3 weeks and my wrist and knee are somewhat irritated. Nothing terrible but i dont want them to linger on..

Above is a great post written by Blair Morrison of anywherefit. He goes further into the benefits of recovery than i care to, a great read fo sho.
Today i had my first ice bath. it ws painful but definatly better than i thought it would be!
looking forward to the Australian regionals this weekend! Flying over thursday night and come back the sunday night. Goodluck to all the athletes, im gonna be there next year..
