November AKA Movember which explains my handlebar mustache(Battle at the Barracks 2012).
So 13.1 Open WOD I only hit 130 reps making it through the snatches at 135lbs (40 burpees, 30 snatches 75lbs, 30 burpees, 30 snatches 135lbs, 20 burpees, 30 snatches 165lbs, 10 burpees, and 30 snatches 205). I can snatch 165lbs no problem repeatedly, but the cardio of burpees absolutely destroyed me. 13.2 Open WOD I did surprisingly well and earned myself 275 reps after redoing it because I only got 240 reps the first time (5 push press, 115lbs, 10 dead lifts, and 15 box jumps 24 inches). Then yesterday I did Open WOD 13.3 sigh.....not a good showing I only got 240 reps (150 wall balls, 90 double unders, and 30 muscle ups in a 12 minute AMRAP). I can string multiple muscle ups together but I didn't use my tme wisely and got spanked :( I truly enjoy crossfit because I've never come across an activity that constantly points out your weaknesses while making you stronger at the same time. It is quite the humbling experience and days like today I don't have much to say. It's like arguing with your girlfriend; she points out your weaknesses (or she could be your weakness) and leaves you speechless. But the exception with crossfit is that I want more. So far the crossfit 2013 experience makes me hungrier for success, makes me want to be stronger, faster, and bring more intensity into every WOD I do. A new motto I'm incorporating into my life is.....
"Commit to excellence every single day!"
