Image result for crossfit open 18.1

I just returned from doing CrossFit Open Workout 18.1:

AMRAP 20 min:

8 Toes to bar

10 dumbbell hang clean and jerks

12 calories on the rower

My score:  267

It was okay.  I wanted 10 rounds and didn’t quite get 9 rounds.  I may re-do it, but I’m unsure.  The row seemed to go on forever.

The atmosphere was great.  We all supported one another and cheered one another on.

Still, something was missing, and I can’t put my finger on it.  It was different than last year.  I think I had all this hype built up in my head, and it was a bit of a let down.  I’m unsure.  I have such high expectations of myself, and I was disappointed in how I did.

All I know is the Open is different for me this year.  It will probably be different next year.  And the following…

Finally!!! I’m Back!!!

10 Minute AMRAP:

10 hang squat snatches 55 lbs for women

30 double unders

This was our WOD today and I crushed it.  I pushed hard.  Till the end.  All double unders unbroken.  Sets of 5 on the hang squat snatches.

I felt good.  No coughing.  And I did well.  It played to my strengths.  And I loved it!

Finally!  After a few months of feeling “blah” I feel great.  I hope to continue this up until and through the Open.  We’ll see.

Hey, Dave Castro!  This WOD would be perfect for 18.1 if you’re taking suggestions.
