Remember, manage your rest time...intensity and good form are the keys to getting better and getting more fit.
I am going to start putting sections of articles in here from the CrossFit journal so that we can all better understand the sport of CrossFit in short absorbable sections....Enjoy...

The CrossFit prescription is “constantly varied, high-intensity, functional

movement.” Functional movements are universal motor recruitment

patterns; they are performed in a wave of contraction from core to extremity;

and they are compound movements—i.e., they are multi-joint. They are

natural, effective, and efficient locomotors of body and external objects. But

no aspect of functional movements is more important than their capacity

to move large loads over long distances, and to do so quickly. Collectively,

these three attributes (load, distance, and speed) uniquely qualify functional

movements for the production of high power. Intensity is defined exactly as

power, and intensity is the independent variable most commonly associated

with maximizing favorable adaptation to exercise. Recognizing that the

breadth and depth of a program’s stimulus will determine the breadth

and depth of the adaptation it elicits, our prescription of functionality and

intensity is constantly varied. We believe that preparation for random

physical challenges—i.e., unknown and unknowable events—is at odds with

fixed, predictable, and routine regimens.
