10K urban run
The costs associated with regular extended aerobic training are decreased speed, power, and strength, not to mention health and fitness. Reserve your longer, lower-intensity "cardio" training for recovery from intense work cycles, when you can no longer deliver on the high outputs that CrossFit demands.
You CrossFitters do primarily short-duration, high-intensity training in the anaerobic pathway, yet you can still perform in the aerobic realm. How many of the endurance-sport crowd can do what you do here every day? How many have the capacity to execute randomized, multi-joint, high-output movements with precision and power?
"Farther, longer is not fitter, is not healthier." - Greg Glassman
And now - after a week of recovery I'm reasonably certain that I will survive. I'm pretty sure that my foot is plotting against me in secrecy. One day, when I least expect it, I will face retribution at the... hand of my foot?

I don't know if I'd call a 10K an aerobic event... more like a longish sprint.
I'd be pretty suprised to see a "pure" crossfitter complete a marathon in under 3 hours, or complete an ironman alive.

I feel ya brook. That 10k sucked. I have much respect for everyone that participated. It may be no iron man but we're about fitness, health and life, not proving anything to anyone, even Ironmen.
