My CrossFit Games Results

WOD1. Burpees, 7min AMRAP with a Target 6" above max reach: my score: 124 Reps
WOD2. Snatches, 10min AMRAP of the following: 75#(30reps), 135#(30Reps), 165#(30Reps), and 210#(Max Reps). My score: 44Reps.

The Burpee WOD was a tough endurance WOD. I've never done 7min straight of Burpees(don't think I'll do it again any time soon.) For this WOD the key, and it's ot a joke, was to not stop and keep a good pace. My pace started fast and slowed especially during the last 2min, but I only stopped for a split second once or twice.

The Snatch WOD was a great test of Strength and Skill. The Snatch is a VERY technical Lift. I don't recommend doing high Rep Snatches(especially at heavy weight) without proper training. I enjoyed the challenge. The weight was heavy for me. My Body weight fluctuates between 125# and 127#. The 75# Lift was no problem. I took my time and broke it down to sets of 10reps. I knew I'd need my Strength for the 135# Lift. The 135# Lift is 10# over my Body weight and, at the time, 10# under my Max on Snatch(145#). Because the lift was heavy for me I chose to do the full squat Snatch for this weight. I made it to 14 Reps. I'm happy with my score. I even hit a new PR of 150# on the Snatch during a warm up! One note, I do use Weight Lifting Shoes when I do Heavy Snatches and especially the full Squat Snatch.

We still have 3 more WODs to go. We're ready for them!
