Crossfit Open 15.3

I was pretty happy when I saw this one announced.  I knew that I wouldn't be at the top end of the leaderboard on it, but I thought I would have a solid score.  Maybe even enough to move me up a few spots this week.

After the announcement, my original goal was three full rounds, but after looking at my results on 13.3, my enthusiasm was tempered a little.  I was still shooting for three full rounds.  However, I knew it was going to be a huge challenge.

I think I had a really solid plan going in.  I had my rep schemes and my pacing all figured out.  My result was all going to hinge on if I could keep my heart rate under control and not have any misses on the muscle ups.  I was aiming for an 85-90% pace on the first 11:00 and then really trying to pick-up the pace the last three minutes, but in order to do this, I had to be done with the muscle ups by then because I can't just pain cave my way through those.

Unfortunately, I was right in the middle of them at my go time so I had to wait until I got to the wall balls, and it just didn't leave me enough time to get through them.

I might re-test Monday and just try to push the pace a little more and see what happens.  Overall, I am pretty pleased with the result.

AMRAP 14
7 Muscle Ups (3-2-2)(2-2-2-1)(2-2-2-1)
50 Wall Balls 20 lbs./10' target (15-15-10-10)(10-10-10-10-10)(10-5-5-5-3-2)
100 Double Unders (50-30-20)(25-25-25-25)
351 Reps (10:24 tiebreaker)

P.S. Pat: I am super happy you programmed the Burpee/Wall Ball workout this week.  This one didn't feel nearly as bad because of it.  Thanks!
