<h2>PCF Athlete LeeAnn G.&#8217;s &#8220;Top 10 Things I Wish I’d Known When I Started CrossFit:&#8221;</h2>
<h3>1. Only increase work capacity by 10% each week. Anything more puts you at significant risk for injury.</h3>
<h3>2. Weightlifting shoes make all the difference in the world.</h3>
<h3>3. The quality of your food matters 300 times more than the specific quantity (i.e. Zone).</h3>
<h3>4. Paleo + Sleep + Fish Oil + Stretching. Those things in that order will cure 95% of what ails you.</h3>
<h3>5. Strength is the foundation for everything – including metcons. Don’t skip strength days.</h3>
<h3>6. Just because it’s written on the board doesn’t make it Gospel; WOD substitutions can be more difficult than the RX’d WOD.</h3>
<h3>7. Scaling is a sign of wisdom, not weakness.</h3>
<h3>8. Coaches are an amazing resource; they can be your biggest ally, but they’re not mind readers. Speak up if you need help.</h3>
<h3>9. Rest Days are crucial, especially when you’re all banged up.</h3>
<h3>10. Injury can provide the opportunity to focus on things that have been neglected – if you’re willing to see the opportunity rather than the injury.</h3>
<h2>For more from LeeAnn, <a href="http://pcfleeann.wordpress.com/2010/03/08/stories-from-the-bench/">click here</a>.  If you&#8217;ve got some lessons learned that you&#8217;d like to share, post to comments.</h2>
