I don't have a place to swim around here, but I love riding my bike. I wonder if riding that at an easy pace on the off days would help just to move the muscles around (as opposed to my current plan of trying to stay as still as possible cause everything hurts).

We had our third session tonight and I was pretty happy to hear that the other two guys were still sore when they arrived - they jointly decided to schedule an extra rest day before our next one. Yay!

I can't even imagine doing roller derby, omg. At least when I'm doing the crossfit stuff, nobody's attacking me!
