Crossfit Open 15.3 Take 2


I was really happy with Saturday's effort, but after watching the video, I thought a left a few reps out there.  I really wanted to get the third round of wall balls done so I could get back on the jump rope and pick up some magic coins.

Originally, my re-test plan was to pick up the pace a little, but after remembering how much pain I was in during the end of round 2 on Saturday, I decided to slow it down a little bit in the first round and try to maintain 5:00 splits on rounds 1 and 2.  That would give me 4:00 to bang out the muscle ups, wall balls and hopefully get back on my jump rope.

Finished the first round at 4:40 and rested until the 5:00 mark.  Finished the second round at 10:04 and I wasn't quite as tired as I was on Saturday.  So, I decided to push the pace on the muscle ups. Unfortunately, I failed on my fourth muscle up.  Usually, that would set me off, but I was able to keep my composure and not let too much time fall off the clock, but I did have to go to singles and that cost me.  I got back to the wall balls with approximately 1:45 left and hit 15 right out of the gate and went to fives until 30.  I was able to eek three more out before time.

A whole bunch of work (and pain!) to get three more reps, but I am so happy I did it.  I didn't feel nearly as strong physically as I did Saturday, but I was mentally stronger today and that is where I usually fall short.  Good day overall.  Hopefully, my result will move me up a little this week.
