part 1:
5 sets for total working time:
15 unbroken push press - 95#/65#
10 burpees
25 unbroken box jumps - 20"/14"
rest 2 min
rest 8+ hours
part 2:
run 400 m - 9 sets
(sets 1,4,7 are @ 70%, sets 2,5,8 are @ 80%, sets 3,6,9 are @ 90%)
rest EXACTLY 2 min b/t sets
part 1:
chest to deck burpees and 2 hands overhead to touch object 8" away from 2 hand max standing reach; lockout arms and knees at same time for push press; hips at full extension at top for box jumps; no pauses allowed on floor or top of box for box jumps...breaking is constituted by double dip on ground, pause on top without rebound, etc...
part 2:
one has to know different gears, find them and post about it
post total working time for part 1 and notes on running for part 2 to comments

I can't wait to do this. Change of plans. I'm going to bed NOW, so that I can wake up even earlier to do part 1 in the morning!
I love push-pressing,
Burpees suck but in a good way,
And my box jumps definitely need practice. Should be a great test of will!
Hope everyone has/had great workouts!

Part 1
total time = 22:46
Push press felt great, just the right amount of difficulty, right at my threshold. Burpees and box jumps on the other hand destroyed me. I couldn't maintain the rhythm or speed that the motions demand.
Part 2 to follow.
Part 1:
As rxd: 1:35, 1:43, 1:38, 1:48, 2:03 = total working time was 9:12
PP easy, Burpees all unbroken expept last round. After 15 BJs my timing starts to get worse - takes more energy to maintain flow after that.
Felt good!

*Pulled an ingrown toenail out last night... therefore every box jump and burpee was excruciating. Part 2 should be fun...
PArt 1: 10:18
Pissed at myself for not getting sub 10 mins.
PP were smooth and I had a powerful stroke throughout. Burpees felt stong initially then it was like trying to jump out of quicksand. Too much time spent here. BJ's were smooth and consistent.

Sorry for the nonWOD related post, but I've watched this twenty times already this morning. Maybe I should have saved this for a 1RM deadlift day.

As in "Whatchu talkin' bout Wiliz?!?"
I did the box jumps with a 16 inch box, that is what we had.
Break down looked like this:
1:23, 1:21, 1:21,1:24,1:21 for a total time of 6min 50sec.
Everything was unbroken, 65lb push press felt good. Burpee`s are much harder when you actually have to jump high :) Will try to get 2nd training done properly but my gym at work only has a 150m track and it is very busy. See what happens.

Total time with rest 16:13, 8:13 working time.
All PP and Box Jumps unbroken, but had to catch my breath every time before starting the jumps so that I could make it all the way through.
Cold air does not mix well with burpees and box jumps!
Done with 20" box jump... nothing smaller at this gym.
Total Work Time = 6:46
1:14, 1:20, 1:21, 1:27, 1:24
Everything unbroken... burpees were slow and painful in the 4th round. I could barely push off the ground my arms were definately feeling it.
Part 1: 7:44
1:18, 1:20, 1:32, 1:50, 1:44
Left foot missed the box on round 4 and didn't get full extention, so added a rep for that. also added couple of reps to round 4 and 5 because judge becky said i didn't open the hips all the way on the box. Thought about increasing the pp weight, but was wise not to.
1:24,1:25,1:33,1:38,1:58
Total - 7:58
Imploded on last set, otherwise felt good. Recovery between rounds felt great. Never gassed starting any of the rounds.

After round 2 had to take the weight down from 77# to 66#, this was a good decision. After round 1 couldn't stand up, legs were toast. Had to take burpees slower if I was going to survive the unbroken BJs. Good to have specified unbroken BJs though, I need that mental push on them.
1:35,1:23, 1:26, 1:30,1:32
total time= 7:26
Felt good today and really pushed through some pain on the box jumps.
1st round was slowest because I came out a bit slow so I didn't gas early which I have a tendency to do. I think it helped with my overall working time though.
I will be skipping Part 2 as I have a basketball game tonight.

PP and burpees unbroken but got slower each round. Box jumps were unbroken 1st round with more frequent pauses on the following rounds.
First time I really tried to hop on/off box. Can see how this would shave lots of time off. Great workout!

Part 1 - Total working time: 11:30
The first round I steamed thru the push press and burpees, but once i got to the box jumps i just felt like i couldn't get my feet off the ground.. it was a struggle from then on with the jumps but the presses felt strong on all 5 sets.
Part 2 - later tonight
pp was unbroken and burpees were. box jumps killed me.
11:13 total working time.
i think i wasted to much time making sure i was going to hit the ring target on the burpees. i always looked for it frist, then jumped.
and obviously my typing skills have been affected...

Notes:
- Felt great and fast through the Burpees on round 3. From then on it was increasingly more challenging as time/exercises went on.
- Legs were smoked for box jumps in rounds 4 and 5.
- Knee felt pretty good all the way through. Will likely row vice run for Part 2 to avoid the pounding.
Part 1
Total working time: 7:47
Jumping up and hitting that 8" mark above your standing reach was a great killer! Made the box jumps more interesting.
Part1 : 5:29
I was supprise how strong and fast I could do my P-P. Burpees where a bit harder but there's not many so it was not to bad to push through.
Part 1:
Not able to jump off box yet so jumped up and did step down which really slowed these down.
Total working time: 8:56
Not able to run yet so will probably sub rows or bike sprints on my trainer for Part 2.

Found the box jumps tough, just the right number of reps for me in terms of challenging the unbroken set. I wanted to stop bad!
1:23/1:27/2:03/2:16/2:26
total working time = 9:35
Kicked my ass but I actual liked it. Seemed easier (and I use that term loosely) to push through knowing that I had 2 minutes rest waiting for me. Always tricky when unbroken is prescribed as I tend to over estimate the rest required to ensure I get it done unbroken.
Looking back...I should have pushed harder in the last 2 sets but the PP felt like I was trying to move a house........should have warmed up my shoulders mo betta.
Lauren,
shoot me an email when you get a chance. I've got a few Q's for ya.

Jumped with both hands to fat bar. I don't have that rapid fire gear for 25 unbroken box jumps. Will work on it for warm-ups.
Wes:
I saw your comment yesterday about finishing your garage gym. Congrats. I'd love to come up for a WOD sometime.
Are you in Seneca Falls area this summer or do you go home?
Also nice work on today's wod.
Great job for those with a sub 8 and a few extra woofs for those under 6 minutes.
Brett, your final comment is so comforting for those of us that haven't done the WOD yet. I'm going to have to do these back to back this evening because of the work schedule.

My goal was to stay consistent, and I'm happy with my performance. The last round was deadly... wouldn't have been able to do another one in the allotted two minutes of rest. Awesome Wod! Legs burned on the box jumps on the last round. BURNED BAD! Love it.

Called it quits after the 6 rounds. The bottoms of my feet are really aching.
I've never been good at gauging % effort, even when I was a competitive swimmer (which is why I only competed short distances). I have an on & off switch when it comes to running, but glad to have the opportunity to figure it all out.
I think I may have held back alittle too much on the 70% efforts, but just made sure I tried harder for the 80% and then a bit harder for the 90%. That strategy I think is reflected in the times each round.
not as Rx'd
broken Push press after set 2.
2 broken sets of box jumps due to a miss on sets 3 & 5.
I gassed hard after 2nd set, so I increased the rest to 3 mins, but I still was dead.

no gas in the tank today. crushed pp and burpees but got worked on box jumps. broke 'em a few times on round 3 and 4 (didn't realize until reading the blog that unbroken was rx'd...will pay closer attention next time)
Part 1
Total work time 10:22. Very unhappy with this time and I know I can do much better. I'm still new to OPT and extremely sore. The 1st rd was 1:45 and the 2nd 1:58. It was all downhill from there and I lost track of my splits (being the only one in the gym). I just let the clock run. The box jumps were what slowed me down(from GHD raises yesterday), which is disappointing bc they're usually my strength. So all pp unbroken, last two sets of burpees broken in half, and all bj broken =(

14:28 work time. The PP and Burpees were fine, I just have no spring to string the jumps together, they went steady but slow.

Part 2: Injured Achilles Tendon during 3rd set of box jumps this morning so decided to row instead of running.
9 intervals of 500m row with 2min rest
500m row PR is 1:25:4 at 8.5 Damper
70%=1:50, 80%=1:42 90%=1:33
Decided to row at damper 6 to focus on technique and try to generate same power:
1) 1:50:9 2): 1:43:8 3)1:40
4) 1:51:9 5) 1:44:3 6) 1:43:3
7) 1:51:5 8)1:50:7 9) 1:39
Really hard to generate same power at damper 6. Still had juice but pace wouldn't go down.
work time: 9:58 (1:28 1:50 2:11 2:18 2:11)
push press and burpees unbroken. 1st set of box jumps unbroken, second set was 12 7 6. last 3 sets i did in 5s. just can't string them together unbroken.
Part 2
1,4,7 1:32
2,5,8 1:25
3,6,9 1:17
All times within a second. Done on C2, 5.5 hours rest. Tried to focus on consistency from round to round. But I don't think this workout translates very well to the rower, this would have been much tougher running the 400's. I either undershot my %, or expected to be more drained. Either way I felt great all the way through.

Part 2 completed 7+ hours later at the Talisman Center 200m indoor track (200m if using the inside lane...which I was)
the only number for 400m sprint I have is from when I did it at OPT over 1 year ago...which was 62 secs...not sure how running on gravel and up a small hill translates to a track but its all I got...therefore;
70% Projected - 1:21
80% Projected - 1:14
90% Projected - 1:08

Round 5 - 1:18
Round 6 - 1:17
Round 7 - 1:22
Round 8 - 1:21
Round 9 - 1:21
Notes: I knew after the first 3 rounds that trying to keep these percentages would be a challenge...I was able to stay, somewhat, close to my projected 70% value for all 3 rounds but achieving 80-90% for 3 rounds was not possible today...I was afraid of starting out too fast and not having the gas to finish...but when I sped up it was too late to make my times...oh and the last 2 rounds were hell...I was breathing really hard and legs were tired...found this WOD much tougher than the morning WOD...
I got to do this on an indoor track, I only had time to do 6 as it was during my lunch break.

- Was able to gauge and maintain pace for the first 200 meeters each lap. After that I fell apart.
I took a 2 min rest after each
400m run. I think I may have done it wrong. Was a set 3 x 400m, then rest 2 min? If so then my times would be much different. OOOPPSSS.
I'm with you, Lulu. I ran a 0:59 in sixth grade. Wow, that's embarrasing!! No where near that now.
Question for anyone:
After about 1 mile of running my lower back gets REAL tight. Any thoughts on where to start?
Part 2.
Pretty much went 1:40, 1:30, 1:20. Then went hard on the last one for 1:07.
Felt way better than expected considering I haven't run since Thanksgiving.
Right after my second 400m run my right fibula began aching badly and progressively worsened as the runs went on. Not sure if this is due to my lack of running (since our last run in training), form, or because it is where I have had a fracture in the past.

Leg is super sore now, may try to ice... Being on my feet at work all day probably doesn't help either. Oh well. Program more running OPT!

Not going to be able to do Part 2 subbing hockey game tonight.
You know you are becoming a true crossfitter when you start dreaming about WODs... Had a dream last night that I was really good at kipping pull ups and woke up and remembered I wasn't. Motivation!
Part 1 - I spazed stopping my timer at the end of the last round and deleted my splits and total time. I know each round was around 1:57, give or take 3 sec which would put my total working time right around 10 min. Used 65# for the first round and reluctantly scaled to 55# for the remaining 4. Was able to complete it unbroken.
My best friend just got me a set of Rogue rings that came in the mail today!!!!! Played around with them quite a bit in warm up today. I'm so excited to be working with them more! I LOVE them! Thank you!!!!
Part 1:
1:29,1:33,1:56,1:58,1:57=8:53
All unbroken. Needed 15-20 sec rest prior to starting box jumps on rounds 3-5 to ensure they were unbroken.
Part 2:
Legs were heavy and felt sluggish from the start. Able to pace appropriately for the first 3. Runs 4-9 were distinguished merely by stronger finishes (final 150 meters)...first 250 meters were pretty much identical.

Adam - 1:22/1:18/1:19/1:21/1:23 = 6:43 working time
As rx'd, all unbroken, started coming forward on toes toward end of pushpress sets, makes for sore feet.
Becky - 3:07/2:34/2:39/2:45/2:39 = 13:44 working time
Weight as rx'd, 18in box jumps, compensated for higher box by not requiring 8in jump for burpees.
Part 1:

Part 2: Its friggin cold here but I toughed it out. I have no idea on the times but the effort felt about right. Small twinge on the top left of my right foot. Here comes icing 5 times/day.
Taking a break from jumping and running for a week to see if the knee heals a bit. So, did the following:
Part 1:
A. Shoulder press, 3 sets of 5, 180 sec rest; 135
B. Shoulder press, 5 sets of max reps at 95, 120 sec rest; 15, 12, 8, 7, 7
Part 2:
Subbed row for the run, strapless at a damper of 4. Used watts to guage intensity, stayed at 250, 285, and 300 watts. Probably too easy.

I only just realized I did Part 1 wrong!!
I did 10 PP, 15 burpees instead of the requiresd 15 pp and 10 burpees. I even wrote it down correctly!
All day I was stewing in my own juices about not getting a sub ten. Damn!
Now I guess that was a pretty sweet time!
Part 1:
1:50,2:11,2:17,2:14,2:05-10:38
All push presses unbroken, can't seem to figure out the rythm for box jumps to make them unbroken.
I have a question in regards to the days that have doubles, some days I can't make it in the morning and the evening. Would it be better to do both work outs in the evening back to back or to do one on that day and make the other up on a later day?
rested 3.5 hrs
Runs done on my small old treadmill in basement with 7 foot ceilings, my road has no street lights and high snow banks.
1:55,1:45,1:30 x 3
Not too sure on accuracy, felt like i was flying but either way awesome workout. 8,9,10mph per run. 10 mph fastest treadmill goes...breathing was under control, legs got alittle heavy
quick funny story.. on my 2nd 90% effort my wife decided to turn the basement lights off, BOOM pitch dark, running on a treadmill that has probably a 14-16 inch wide track...haha that was almost nasty...
Part 1: 0530
Total working time: 8:53
All unbroken. Jumped to pull-up bar for burpees.
Part 2: 1700
1/4/7=1:35/1:32/1:29
2/5/8=1:27/1:24/1:23
3/3/3=1:20/1:19/1:19
My 400m course ends with a good climb for the last 150m. Pacing felt right on for my energy for today. My legs were strong through all 9 sets.
Anyone see tomorrow's WOD on the CF HQ site?
Three rounds for time of:
Walk on hands, 100 feet
Hold handstand against wall for two minutes
15 Handstand push-ups
Let the whining begin...
It looks like they started bitching my comment #5, Geoff. Haha.
Part 2 - 10 Hours later
Ran a 400 M line that involved a steep but short hill at one end, a flat stretch then a prolonged hill at the other end.
Really found a niche in the 70% range where I was just above my anabolic threshold but could maintain a strong steady pace. I would consider this my 1 mile pace.
At 80% there was a significant increase in output and I could really feel the legs asking me to let up a bit. In the end there was nothing left to do but grind it out. This would my 1km pace.
At 90% we were almost sprinting but could maintain it through out. I think that we we're right on the 400m pace here.
Over the duration of the 400m rounds I could notice a difference between my energy level and my friends. This I believe was due to our different diets and while he's an extremely healthy eater he still bases his around highly dense carbohydrate sources where as mine is fat based.
This evenings running WOD was an interestin one.
Part 1 - 5:55
rested 7 hours
Part 2
70% = 1:30-1:25-1:27
80% = 1:22-1:20-1:22
90% = 1:16-1:19-1:20
Previous WOD's where we have done "gear" finding I have never really been able to get myself to go any faster or slower then a 1:30 for 400m pace. So with that said I was able to go faster with in each gear. I have a pretty good feel between 70 and 80 but as you can see I am a little unsure of how to do 90. I think I go a little to fast out the gait on 90 and slow down towards the end.
part 2:
70%/80%/90%
1 - 1.20/1.17/1.05/
2 - 1.31/1.21/1.13
3 - 1.31/1.20/1.11
feel the burn!
Part 1: 2:12, 2:58, 3:36, 3:43, 4:11; Total = 16:40. Only round 1 rx'd, 2-5 broken.
Rested 6 hours, Part 2: 1:50; 1:46; 1:38; 1:52; 1:46; 1:41, then my right calf cramped up, still barely able to walk right.
Part 2:
70% 1:28/1:27/1:30
80% 1:19/1:20:1:21
90% 1:12/1:16/1:16
found it hard to find the right gear off the start but then became more comfortable. right calve really started to cramp up towards the last couple runs.
Total working time: 9:11. All push press and box jump unbroken and fast. What killed was the burpees. Coming out of those I had to take a 20-30 second breather before starting box jumps. Im feeling those 12 days off. It will come back.

Followed OPT for the first time personally, as well as bringing it to my clients.
I think I misunderstood a bit how to record times. Needed some caffeine before reading lol.
My overall time, including the 2 min rest periods between rounds was 14:26.
So I guess total working time is
6:26min. as rx'd.
Love this.
The CrossFit sectionals are coming up in Mar, Eastern Canada.
So pumped, and incorporating this program is going to help big time for us all.

7. 1:32 8. 1:27 9. 1:25
400's felt good. about round 5 my lower right calf started to tighten up. was able to finish strong, tried to keep it loose between sets. Dark, rainy, 43 degrees, gravel track with light pole about every 50 meters. Kind of a cool run here in Sitka, Ak.
Part1
6:48
Part 2
1,4,7- 1:24, 1:30, 1:30
2,5,8- 1:21, 1:25, 1:27
3,6,9- 1:19, 1:23, 1:23
Overall pretty pleased with my pacing and how i fealt, never been a good runner so i guess i'm pleased with my times.
Part 2 went well. I really enjoyed playing around with the 70%, 80%, and 90%. I did not time all the runs (I did a few here and there to make sure I was on pace), and I was relegated to the outer lanes of the track since high school sports were using the inner lanes.
I just realized the Regional Qualifiers in May is for the entire country... That's going to be 60 guys and 60 girls vying for 12 spots (6 male/6 female) for the ENTIRE COUNTRY!
That is going to be some kind of weekend.
m/31/69.5"/175#

PWO: 22gP (Jarrow shake), 1 scoop Refuel
60 min later: steak, artichoke hearts, applesauce, mac nuts
Notes:
- Was definitely able to feel the shift in gears from 70/80/90.
- I felt pretty good throughout though and am glad that I used the C2 instead of running.
- Legs felt dull from this morning, but nothing too major.
Part 1: 22:18. box jumps were broken. Last set of push press was broken.

Thank goodness the tread mill only went up to 12mph.
I did 3x 10mph-11mph-12mph.
I was lucky to make it through before the quad cramps started. Because they didn't take long.
If anyone has good advice I have a lot of issues with cramping in general. My diet is paleo, un-weighed/measured, gluten free even on cheat days, supplemented vitamin C, fish oils and potassium.
Thanks for any advice

Notes: Tonights workout was with KyleF again. I think I screwed my timer up on round 3 of wod 1 because that was the only round I timed myself. I didn't hit my <8 minute goal. He is thinking of coming down from Ft. Collins for the OPT challenge #3. Looking forward to this next challenge!
Part 2
Okay I was a sprinter in hs and did not remember 400s hurting this much. Haha!
I did my wo on a treadmill. Speed for 70% was 6min/mi pace, 80%-5.6, 90%-5.1.
I did well until the last 400 when I had to hop off the treadmill bc I felt that I was going to fall.
All runs were on an outdoor 400m track. I'm running outside any chance I get. Treadmills are evil!
Part 2
Projected Pace:
70%- 1:32
80%- 1:21
90%- 1:12

2/5/8: 1:21/1:23/1:28

Had a hard time finding that 90% intensity. It was cold, raining and dark and my left post tib was starting to talk to me.
8 hrs rest

:59 is pr.
Part 1: 15:10 (rest time subtracted from total), box jumps broken but they were cyclical (first time not doing the jump up, step down method!)
Part 2:
70% = 1:40
80% = 1:28
90% = 1:18
All intervals were 2-8 sec fast with the following exceptions: the 70% interval for set 7 was perfectly on time, set 6 was :05 slow, set 9 was :02 slow.
Overall thoughts = had trouble going “slow” enough to hit the lower percentages. Definitely need to work on changing gears better.
Felt good to run. Recovered well. Had no real 90% gear after the first wod.
Part 2:
In order:
1:18 (Had a really hard time gauging speed)
1:18
1:12
1:28 (There we go)
1:21
1:16
1:26
1:19
1:18-1:20 I have a gps watch, and when I stopped and looked at my watch it said I still had 9 feet to go. Oh technology!
I don't consider myself an especially talented runner. I went into this workout wanting to be consistent. I was surprised how recovered I felt after 2 minutes. At the end of just about every 400 I was thinking, damn... I'm pretty tired. By the end of the 2 minutes I was convinced the next interval wasn't going to be as bad. :) Funny how that works.

Part 1: Working Time of 7:31. 1:15/1:21/1:32/1:37/1:36

1:36, 1:25, 1:20

Push press felt fine and smooth though not particularly fast. Burpees got a bit slower after the 3 round and I was constantly chasing my friend who's a bodyweight freak. Smoked every round of box jumps with ease unbroken and finished ahead of him each time.
PWO Fuel: 1 scoop refuel and 32 g protein
Covino 24 and I didn't get our total time for Part 2 but we came out a little too hard and by the mid point had our throttles dialed in pretty well.

Got a bit to ambitious with my pacing, set 7-9 was the best, probaly should have been shooting for 1:40,1:35,1:30.
Geoff Aucoin: I know what you mean, I like the sound of "Crossfit Canadian Nationals" better, as regionals makes it seem like a smaller event!
Solid times, Joey.
WOW!!! I should have known a double would be hard but I had no idea.
Part 1
13:28 - push press unbroken, burpees difficult, 1st set BJ unbroken, all remaining broken...legs were smoked
Part 2
First set of 3 were hard to get the pacing down. Second set of 3 felt great. Did my best to hold pacing in the 3rd set. Last 90% run was probably 100% of perceived exertion...almost puked in the last few strides. Very happy to finish without losing intensity.
651 working on first part.
crashed and burned on second. twisted ankle on 6th round and had to stop. couldnt keep pace to save my life.
i did 3 rounds of part 1:
2:06/2:08/2:18
20 minutes rest
6 rowing sprints. it was interesting working on pacing.
Part 1:
Time: 12:14 damn burpees grrr. Fist set unbroken after that I had to take a few secs rest.

26 / 5'11" / 185 Burpee's hardest part. More of a cardio issue than muscle fatigue. First week on this blog. Crossfit for 10 months gymnastics backround before that.
WOD 1
Total time of 9:58. Felt pretty good. Able to stay unbroken as Rx'd but I think my time suffered cause I went slow and steady to stay unbroken.
WOD 2 (these are by memory but they're close)
70- 1:38/1:50/1:48
80- 1:36/1:32/1:34
90- 1:26/1:26/1:22
Runs were hard. Times were slow. Felt the gears though.
part 1 - 1:24, 1:27, 1:42, 1:48, 1:30 = 7:51... death on 5th round.
rest 10 min
part 2 - 1:45, 1:38, 1:32, 1:46, 1:34, 1:23, 1:43, 1:31, 1:22... form still needs help. Hips were sore afterwards.
Late post, but i did it on the day.
part 1:

3. 2:44 (22, 1, 2)
4. 2:44 (15, 10)
5. 2:36 (15, 10)
Mentally and physically crushed by this workout. I can't BJ period. No bounce what so ever. Burpees hard at this spec. - i like it. Regular burpees are hard to judge. Did not have time to wait out unbroken BJ's. Back to the drawing board.
part 2:
1:39, 1:29, 1:19
1:37, 1:28, 1:21
1:35, 1:27, 1:20
After the ordeal on part 1 i contemplated not doing part 2. Very happy i did. Did it at my local track witch during the winter turns into a "bandy"-rink. So conditions where difficult with lots of snow and ice. I aimed for 1:40, 1:30, 1:20 and i am very happy with the consistency. In dry/warm conditions i think 5 seconds of on all rounds would be a more suitable target. Very useful experience.
Part 1(18"box)

Notes: LOVED this back to back. First workout was great at screwing with legs and brain connection to jump come the box jumps. Body and brain got on the same program round 3. Runs felt good. 70% too fast, backed off on 2 and 3 sets for first 400m. Loved going from 90 to 70 - felt so easy!
Part 1 12:10 min. Cool but really hard!!
Part 2 I just start back running so I did a diff. workout eassier but really good for me.
Only had time for 6 400s:
Part 2:
1:34 slight down hill
1:26 slight up hill
1:14 slight down hill
1:39 slight up hill
1:24 slight down hill
1:18 slight up hill
Playing catch up:
Part 1: 7:10
Burpees were the slowing factor.
Part 1
1:34/1:35/1:36/1:41/1:36 Total = 8:02
Wanted under 8. Burpees are slow. Box jumps were good. Push press easy until 4th round. Transition was slow.
Part 2
1,4,7 = 2:02, 2:00, 2:01
2,5,8 = 1:41, 1:51, 1:48
3,6,9 = 136, 1:44, 1:44
Didn't try and game this, went purely off of feel. 70% may have been more like 60% but kept it consistent. 80% was decent and probably could have done a little faster at 90%. It was interesting to see how close/far I was running based on feel, didn't watch the time as I was running. Haven't ran in a while, need to work on it.
part 1:
1:30, 1:52(1), 2:05, 2:17, 2:15
All everythings unbroken except my second set of box jumps, not sure what happened there, my brain just turned off I think. My burpees got pretty slow, but I never actually stopped. This got ugly fast. I really wish I could hold on to that speed I have in the early rounds.
I was only able to schedule in about 5 hours rest
part 2:
1:30, 1:24, 1:22, 1:34, 1:28, 1:26, 1:37, 1:29, 1:27
These were done as 200m there and backs. Running is my single biggest weakness, hands down. Not too happy with the times themselves, but very pleased at how I seemed to pace well and find the appropriate gears for the rx'd level of effort. I usually really struggle in that department, so this was a victory for me.
Great WODs, thanks Coach. Loving the Big Dawgs programming so far. Thanks very much for making this available to us, really cool.
