Double - whaaaa?

Ok - so the Crossfit Open 14.1 was announced last night and I watched the announcement and these two guys do the workout. It was intense.  They were amazing to watch.

So this morning I go for my test round... I wanted to try it out, see how I could do.  But I'm doing my official entry on Saturday.

This is the workout:


WOMEN - includes Masters Women up to 54 years old

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:

30 double-unders

55-lb. power snatches, 15 reps

First things first - I can NOT do double unders.  That means when you jump rope, the rope passes twice under your feet per jump.

I did 4 rounds, but because I can't do double unders, the skips didn't count (instead of 30 du's, I had to do 90 singles).  I did 4 rounds of 15 snatches, for a grand total of 60. Whomp whomp.

The second lowest score in the joint.  So then I'm mad that I can't do it.  I stay after class and practice.  AND I GOT IT.  I mean I could do one - then three singles - then another.  But stringing them together... I can do like 8 in a row.  

Here's to hoping tomorrow's score alot higher!!
