The Burpee

Competition & Tapering

Check out CrossFit LA

1.Take an entire week COMPLETELY OFF from workouts. This doesn't mean do nothing. Warm up. Stretch. Practice skills. Do things that are short, quick, but not too intense.

2.Go to bed. Get lots of rest. Store it up for the week.

3.Eat well and drink plenty of water

4.Make a plan for the day of the event. What time you're getting up. What gear you need for the event. What your going to eat throughout the day. How you're going to warm up, and what time. What you'll do between events. Try to visualize the day - how you're going to perform AND how the day is going to go.

Operating @ 110%

I decided to take this week off from CrossFit training and only do Yoga. Probably the greatest reason for this is a mental one. Having spent weeks training for the Sectionals, getting into the groove of regular training and knowing that training will improve performance, it is sorely tempting to cram in as much training as possible right up to the last minute before the event in the belief that it will improve performance. I believe it is necessary to have the mental strength to rest and recuperate prior to the event to achieve maximum performance. My favorite thought to remember when struggling in a race or competition is “Pain is temporary, glory is forever!”

iPhone App (Sleep Cycle)

Have you ever woken up feeling completely wrecked when the alarm clock goes off, despite the fact that you have slept "enough" hours? When this happens you have probably been awakened during a deep sleep phase, and your whole day can turn into one long zombie marathon.

Other days you spring out of bed with a smile on your face, feeling completely rested even though you shouldn't. As the alarm clock goes off, chance seems to play a big role in how your day will become. But does it really have to be that way? This is where the Sleep Cycle alarm clock application comes into play.
