Crossfit Open 2016 log for Saturday, February 27th

Well that was an unmitigated disaster.

16.1 was announced Thrusday.

A whopping 20 minute AMRAP of
25' overhead walking lunges 95#/65#
8 bar facing burpees
25' overhead walking lunges
8 chest to bar pull ups

Every 5' of lunges counts as a rep. so 26 reps per round.  Also if you drop the bar on the lunges you have to go back to the last completed 5' marker.

Spent two days worrying about pacing the burpees or running out of chest to bar pull ups. Needn't have worried, the lunges killed me.

Couldn't lock out so after two rounds the muscle fatigue settled in and I had to repeatedly drop the bar.  Was hoping to get at least 5 rounds, didn't even make 4.

CTB went really well.

Nothing like a kick in the teeth to refocus your training. Luckily I have an appointment with Rob Crispo Monday.  I'll give him the details and look at chipping away at this limiter.
