Don't be mental.

5 Whiteboard Misconceptions from Tabata Times.  I’ve been doing CrossFit for so long that I’ve experienced many of the things that come up, remedy and I if I haven’t, Alison, CFO’s coaches or someone you know probably has.  Of the 5 things mentioned, I think I’ve seen them all (not 2 so much, but maybe a little).
When I read an article like this, it reminds of a quote by Level 1 trainer Pat Sherwood:
“The goal is to get fit, make it the best hour of your day, stay safe, turn up the music, high five some people, and blow off some steam.  So remember that.  Relax.  Have fun.  Workout.”

Workout of the Day
Strength
Shoulder Press, 3 set of 8, 70% of 1RM
Take 7-10 minutes to warm up for this lift.  Use sets of 5 early (maybe just the bar), then use 3s to warm up to you weight.  It should happen quick.  Save you bullets, as the second and third sets are pretty tough.
Conditioning
Death by…
Snatch 95/65
Box Jump 24/20 
With a continuously running clock, perform 1 Snatch and 1 Box Jump in the first minute, 2 Snatch and 2 Box Jumps in the second minute, 3 Snatch and 3 Box Jump in the third minute, etc…
Keep going until you cannot perform the required reps in a given minute.
