1. What resistance level is typically recommended when rowing on C2?
Comment by Doug — January 6, 2009 at 10:38am
2. Brian, I think I am more excited to see the articles you post daily than the workouts. I learn more from reading those and the pages attached to them than I do during an entire quarter of College (At least of interesting knowledge).
Keep it up man!

PS, you may or may not have stumbled upon this, but I found it amongst the comments of Robb's blog:

http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/2007/10/04/thermodynamics-and-weight-loss/

Pretty enlightening about Thermodynamics.

PPS, I really enjoyed the interview on Crossfit Radio

5. 3786 on the C2. First day on CFE.

Doug, everyone's different. Play around with it and see what works for you. See: http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/CrossFitC2_DamperSettings.wmv

I read about CFE on the Crossfit discussion board. Was a bit worried that you were trying to reinvent CF but with long distance runs etc. But I was delighted to find that this is a complement to the CF main board, with some further exercises for those who want to take it to the next level.

Made a (foolish?) bet to run the Melbourne marathon this year with a friend, but I hate distance running, so CFE may be my weapon of choice.

Thanks again for your efforts.

Matthew

6. New years resolution? To use only CFE for this tri/du season. I'm a mileage junkie. I fall off the wagon occasionally when I need a mental release and go for a long slow ride or run. My swimming is slow period. So here goes I'm gonna drink this glass of Kool Aid and do the CFE WOD and the CF WOD....ok the Kool Aid tasted good now how are my long runs/rides gonna be effected? (or is it affected?). Any other CFE types gonna do the New Orleans Half Iron? or events in the Houston/Austin/San Antonio area? Really enjoy the site and info. Now if I can just lay off the enchiladas and go 100% Paleo....maybe next years resolution!

8. I've created a conversion chart for CFE cycling workouts to use power meters. Many CFEers have found it quite helpful. Take a look at crossfitcyclist.wordpress.com

9. Todd, not many places except LARGE rec centers have olympic sized pools so chances are your is a 25m pool.

11. New to CFE...a little help, where can I find descriptions or demos of the Running / bike / swim drills that are meant to be part of the CFE warm up? many thanks

13. Hey I was going to order a pair of Vibrams today, but I'm not sure which style I should get. I wanted the classics but they don't look like they would stay on very well. Then I thought the Flow would be nice because I live in a colder climate. Would they get too hot in the summer though? Just wanted some other people's opinions before I ordered them. Thanks in advance.

14. m/37/76/200

Not as rx'd: Rowed 5k instead of 15m TT. Time 18:53, PR (by 10secs) since starting back up in September and CF/CFE in November '08.
Comment by Chas — January 7, 2009 at 1:59am
15. I wish I could attend that Atlanta training session. I'd love to find out if I'm running pose correctly or not (as well as learning about everything else). But I don't have the money, and the money I would spend on it needs to go to getting an oly bar + weights. Learning costs a lot of money!

16. C2 15 min: 3995 meters

18. Cycling: 11.6 miles in 35 minutes on a trainer. I will be doing my first indoor Triathlon on Saturday, I used CrossFit and CFE as RX'd to train.

m/34/193 (Was 260 when I started CrossFit 10/2007)
Comment by Rob Lorenzini — January 7, 2009 at 4:12am
19. Dylan, I feel the same way! I'm so busy with the gym opening, I get my CF Wod's in but my endurance WOD's are only 1 or 2 a week...if that. But I always check in to read the article!

22. Swimming: 800 yards. Only my second lap swim this week, and my second lap swim in 7 years!! Arms were killin' me!
Comment by Nancy Cohen — January 7, 2009 at 7:08am
23. No way of measuring the distance. Think I ran a little over 4mi in 35min.
Comment by John G. — January 7, 2009 at 7:57am
24. #1: Settings 3 or 4 on a C2 are the closest representative of water resistance when in a shell. We always used that setting for training when I rowed in college.

bike 9.6 mi in 35 min
Comment by Carolyn — January 7, 2009 at 9:00am
25. C2: 3275 m. (Damper set on 5)
Comment by Angela Horswill — January 7, 2009 at 10:35am
26. Ran 5.25 miles. Rob -- good luck in your race on Saturday. I'd really like to know how it goes given you're following CF and CFE.
Comment by Chris H — January 7, 2009 at 10:52am
27. 3740m C2
Comment by Tim Banfield — January 7, 2009 at 12:12pm
28. Biked level 10 at gym. 13.09 miles. RPM never below 105.

Looking forward to the next TT in a few weeks for comparison.
Comment by Danny S — January 7, 2009 at 12:14pm
29. Ran 4.58mi. Not terrible considering I haven't done a hard run in a month, but quite a ways from a PR distance. Felt good to get the shoes back on though.
Comment by J Turnage — January 7, 2009 at 1:27pm
30. most gym pools are 25yds, very few pools are 25m
Comment by joeshmoe — January 7, 2009 at 3:18pm
31. C2: 3640m on damper setting 6.
-Need to play around with damper settings more.

32. First time w/CFE...did the run...nice long break in cardio, feel like I'm starting from ground zero. Here we go though:

F/34/120/5'2"

33. Dick Douglas, I have 4 that are doing half ironman in Galveston in April who are training exclusively with CF and CFE.

34. C2 3665
Comment by Wade — January 9, 2009 at 1:04pm
35. M/33/70"/175. Just over 4.5 miles. I think. I ran the last half on the track and I may have lost count of laps. Oh, well. My next 35 min. run will be a lot faster, right? Ha!
Comment by MJ — January 10, 2009 at 10:29am
36. Did this workout last wednesday on a stationary bike and covered just over 10 miles
