It's a fun time of year!!!!!  March Madness Baby!!!!!

Each year at work, I get 2 personal days (vacation days) to do with what I want.  For the past 5 years I save both days for this time of year.  For one, it is a good time to take a Spring break.  Another, more important reason, is I get to watch the opening rounds of the March Madness college basketball tournament.  It is a good way to spend a few days, which only could be topped by spending this time of year in Vegas watching all the games in a sports book, which is where I will be next year.  So far, my only big mistake has been taking Wisconsin into the sweet 16, they lost in the opening round.
Taking a day off from work also gives me the chance to take my time and get a good workout in.  A few days ago, I checked out a book from the library about endurance training.  I finally got a twitter account a few months ago, and began following Mens Health and Crossfit accounts.  On twitter, I came across a book: Power, Speed, Endurance: A Skill Based Approach to Endurance Training by Brian Mackenzie.  After reading part of the book, I have again changed up my workout plan.  Before reading the book, I was trying to log as many miles as possible in the pool, on the bike, and on the road running.  However, now I am going to do 4 to 5 days of crossfit, mostly doing the workout of the day on crossfit.com, and add interval training in the pool, bike, and running, with one day a week of a long swim, run, or on the bike.  Today I did my first official crossfit day.  The workout of the day was to do the following:

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 12 minutes of:
150 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball
90 Double-unders
30 Muscle-ups

 Let me just say that this was the hardest workout I have done in a long while, and I did not even get through it all in 12 minutes, I was only able to do the 150 wall ball shots and 90 double unders and I was spent.  After that, I got in the pool and did interval swims.  I did 2 minute swims at a medium to fast pace 4 different times.  Then I spent the rest of my time swimming working on my form.  After reading the book I mentioned earlier, I realized I have horrible swimming form.  Just about everything about my form is incorrect.  Trying to change form is like trying to learn to swim all over again.  Good thing I have time to make adjustments.
