Since my main conditioning goal is to be more intense in competition, I’ve been tracking my crossfit workouts pretty closely.  Heretofore, my workout tracking consisted primarily of scribbling notes onto scraps of paper that I find on the floor of my car.  Fortunately those days are over.

Recently my buddy and fellow software engineer Brian Doll, unveiled a very cool online tool for tracking crossfit stats called statulo.us.  With statulo.us I now have a convenient tool for recording all my workouts.  Here’s what it looks like:

In crossfit you’re supposed to track your workouts so you can see how your performance trends over time.  In most crossfit workouts, the amount of time it takes you to finish a workout is inversely correlated with your power output, or intensity. In this example, I’ve graphed three different instances of the famous Annie workout.  In general you would want to see a downward trending line, which indicates increasing intensity.

In sum, statulo.us kicks ass and I can’t wait to see what other goodies Brian cooks up in his lab!
