I might not be currently competing against Mike but I can still compete against the clock and myself. One of my sacred cows is running 8 miles in one hour or less. I have done it a bunch of times and the fastest I've ever done is 57.19. It doesn't kill me doing it but its a good effort. Today, on the treadmill of course, I hot 7.94 miles in an hour which I am happy about. I am going to hit the track tomorrow and see if i can get under an hour for 8.
One of the attractive things about CrossFit is the group workouts - it seems like a great way to motivate yourself to go harder/faster, actually learn how to use proper form and meet people with similar interests (or lack thereof). The yang to this ying is I have always liked working out alone. For running, I don't have to worry about matching someone's pace and for lifting, the rest breaks between sets can be excessive if you work out with someone. Of course this isn't an issue since there are no breaks and/or plenty of equipment.
I just checked - TJs, which is the closest CrossFit Gym to me, has a class at 5:15 am in the mornings. Hmmmmm - time to genflect.
