Why do crossfit athletes train so hard but ignore recovery completely?

I've been doing crossfit training for four years. People are so dedicated to their workouts that they keep notes of every lift, split time, and PR. However, all it takes to recuperate is to sleep more and eat protein, as they think.

I saw that when cold plunges were introduced to their facilities, athletes emotions improved and it wasn't just about feeling better. The icy plunges maintained the athlete's performance and consistently reduced pain.

When you consider it, the gap makes no sense. A new weightlifting shoe costs $200, yet there is no recovery benefit. I started researching options for our box's commercial cold plunge.

Does anyone train at a box that has a cold plunge?
