Workout comments: Wanted to try to dig myself into a hole during the strength workout to test my recovery limits for the metcon workout, especially after the moderately long metcon from yesterday. Had salad with turkey, a protein shake, and plenty of water after the first workout from approx 1-2PM. Second workout started 3 hours later with a light warmup and water throughout. After reading the article on the crossfit website about pacing yourself for faster times (and initially scoffing), I decided to give it a try by breaking the SQT into groups of 5, the RR into groups of 5, and the TGU into groups of 4 (or 2). I feel like the workout would have taken a ridiculously long time anyway, so I'm not really sure it worked. I'll have to try it again with a workout I have previously done several times in the past.
