Half marathon and crossfit

Has anyone ever done half marathon training while doing crossfit? I've done half marathons before and even a full, but never while doing crossfit. I just started crossfit in July and the half is in march. I would assume I could do a little less running since I'll be doing a lot of crossfit training. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

    I trained for three halfs while crossfitting. The only additional running I did outside of crossfit was a weekly long run, usually on the weekend. Crossfit is great for keeping up your overall conditioning, but the long distance endurance training isn't adequately covered unless you are doing a CrossFit Endurance program. My times for half while crossfitting versus not crossfitting were with in seconds of one another even though my running decreased from 35-40 miles a week to 8-15.
