For those of you that are keeping records of yourself, here's a great resource to make it more convenient and easy.
For those of you that aren't, you need to start. You're going to be happy you did because it will have a huge effect on your gains, motivation and progress in the long run. Remember, you are only competing with yourself.
Hop on to beyondthewhiteboard.com.
Make an account (free), join the gym 'Eugene Crossfit' and you'll be able to keep your journal of all your Eugene Crossfit workouts - they are testing the site and they gave Eugene Crossfit an exclusive spot. For each day from here on you can enter in your workout times and keep a journal here on how you did.
This site has amazing statistics -- lots of graphs including a data on your progress, how you did compared to last time, etc.
I'd also like you to post stuff you do that isn't crossfit. There's ways you can enter that in. For example, if you play soccer (Emilee and Desiree) go running (Debbie, Kathy, Michelle, Diana) or teach another class (Ericka, Kelsi, Travis) -- try to put that in there, there should be something similar to what you did.
It is going to be nice for me because I'll be able to see clearly your performance improvement - Necessary for those talks we need to have on diet, intensity, recovery, and homework!
There is also a section on beyond the whiteboard for your notes of that specific workout. I encourage you to put in how you think you did, what your situps were like (because theres like 100 different ways to do situps), etc, etc. (example: Wow, pushups were really hard I need to work on those, but I pushed hard thru the squats - coach mentioned my squat depth wasn't deep enough once)
