People often get confused between the sport of CrossFit and the training of CrossFit. This is like watching the Tour de France and assuming that all cycling requires you to cycle 100s of miles up impossible inclines.

It's important to understand the difference between competition and training, not just to know what CrossFit really is about. It's also important if you are already participating in CrossFit training. Although we score our workouts our priority for every training session should be about achieving the correct stimulus from the session. Higher intensity is great but not at the expense of results.
