Great post.
The only problem I have with CrossFit is the attitude that you should push till you drop, even when form is breaking down and you're on the verge of injury. If you can approach it more sensibly than a lot of the CrossFit websites seem to, then it can be a fun approach for a time. Remember to make choices based on your own goals too. CrossFit is about conditioning, not strength or quality performance in any specific endeavor. Think of it as another tool in the toolbox, rather than the best or only way to approach fitness.
