Fielding crushing another workout!

In addition to all of the hilarious quotes that we picked up from Rip this weekend, there was also some potentially debatable information passed down.  Some of it I’ll take as gospel and some of it I have my own questions about and am curious about getting all of your opinions on.  The first question is with regards to overtraining.  Rip said and Eva T. agreed that training CrossFit for 3 days on and 1 day off (the unofficial CF “recommendation” for competitors) would definitely lead to overtraining very quickly.   What are your thoughts on the 3 on 1 off method?  Is that too intense – too short of a recovery time?  Should it only be done for a short time period such as training for a specific event?  Post to comments, I’ll follow up with my opinion tomorrow.
