Howdy!
Do you feel that there are some movements and exercises at Crossfit that you need more work on? Do you typically arrive at your box 10, 15, or 30 minutes early to your class time? If you arrive early, do you just stand around and watch the class before you do the WOD and tell yourself, OMG I dont want to do that?
Well if you do, you are wasting valuable time. Take this time to work on your double unders, Kipping Pull UPs or Muscle ups if there is room available. Grab your jump rope and practice. Jump on a bar and work on just your kipping motion. Below is a link to a kipping tutorial.

Each week the time that you wait for class to start can add up to 30, 45, or 90 minutes of training time per week that you are losing. Add that up per month.... Lots of time.
Also, if there is room available at the racks, get some strength work in. Do your Wendler's 5/3/1 work to increase your strength and your perfomance. Work on clearns, press, jerks, snatches, any thing that will help you at the box. Until next time
