New: Migraine after a workout

I've been doing Crossfit for a month or so now. Crossfit is a strength and conditioning program that combines Olympic lifts, plyometrics, sprints and various other exercises in a high-intense interval training style. About an hour after completing an extremely intense workout on Friday, I got a migraine, just like I do after hockey. This is the first time in over 10 years I got a migraine after doing anything other than hockey. Connections between crossfit and hockey? Physical exertion? Hydration? Nourishment?

I think I may not have been hydrated well enough for such a rigorous workout. Further, I might not have eaten enough. Let's just say I suck at life and I'm not sure what this does to my compression headache (from my helmet) theory.
