Vomit Factor...

Since I've begun torturing myself with crossfit workouts, it seemed appropriate to assign a Vomit Factor (VF) value to each workout, once completed. This value is intended not only to give the reader an idea of how difficult the workout is in itself, but also the level of effort I gave in completing it. For example, if I ran a mile in 10:00 it might only have a VF of 0 or 1, but if I ran a mile in 6:00 it would have a VF closer to 5 or 6. To further explain, I have included a breakdown of what each value should indicate about a given workout :

10 - Threw up during a workout and called it a day.
9 - Throw up during workout and go right back to kicking ass.
8 - Throw up a little in your mouth, but nothing fancy.
7 - Run to the trash can, but it's a false alarm.
6 - Debating on a pit-stop to the trash can, but decide to see how much more you can take.
5 - You make a mental note of the trash can location in the gym as it taunts you.
4 - Food/fluids feel like they're in your chest instead of your stomach.
3 - Repeated belching.
2 - Occassional belch, allowing you to revisit the taste of your most recent meal.
1 - General discomfort, but nothing serious.
0 - Workout was either, 1) hard but you still owned it, 2) you half-assed the hell out of it, 3) it was just an easy day.

There is always the possibility of an 11+, but those are reserved for the most epic of workouts! Plus, I've only reached a 7 thus far, so I don't know what anything higher than a 10 would look like. Perhaps, throwing up, passing out, and waking up in the medic station.
