CrossFit Open 17.1 - Just Killer

After 5 weeks of CF, it was time to for the Cross Fit Open.  There is no way I can do RX but I feel like I could do the scaled workouts from last year.  My plan is to just follow the scaled workouts and survive but give it my all.  I already made a mistake and played tennis Wednesday night.  My knees were sore.

I forget to the check the workout on Thursday night and just checked when I hit the gym parking lot.

The snatches at 35 is not easy.  Lots of respect to the ladies doing 35lbs.   50 lbs would be borderline unsafe at that many reps.  Burpees over the box with step a step up, is even going to hurt.  2 feet jump is amazing.

I got through 3 rounds pretty fast but once you finish that, you know the worst is to come.  I got through 40 at 13:28.  50 more snatches and 15 burpees to go.  At this point, I think I can finish but my lungs are burning and I might even be a little dizzy.  I try to really focus on using my legs to pull the 35lbs up and using my legs to set it down.  I did 10, break, 10 break, 15 break, 15 break.  I was at 17:30 ish.    15 Burpees to go.  I started off with a slow pace and the last 5 just went as fast as I could.  19:08.
Legs shaking, back fried, dizzy and coughing.  2 hours later, I can still feel my lungs burning.  I really wish I had my fitbit working to see my heart rate but stupid thing stops working last week and Fitbit is back ordered until March.

Cold baths and hot showers and recover.  Haru!!!
