Open WOD 12.1

It's Open season and I couldn't be more excited. Everyone is chatting about it, strategizing, comparing scores, cheering each other on and so much more. It's just such a great thing to be involved in!

I did a little trial run with 12.1 on Thursday, my goal was 12 reps a round and rest the remaining part of the minute. I finished with 88 reps. So I made my goal for Sunday 100.

Total reps = 100!

I decided to go in Heat 4 as all but the first one was filled up. And I sure didn't want to go in the first heat! I video taped the first round, counted for Jon in the second and cheered/warmed up in the third. Then it was my turn. My goal was 14 burpees a minute. My rounds looked like this: 16-14-14-14-13-14-15. I have to say I'm pretty happy with that. Minus the fact that I had a near Janet Jackson moment and my left boob was slowly popping out of my shirt and I had to readjust during the first minute or two. I still managed to stay on track. I think I could've broken 100 though if it wasn't for that incident. However, I'm glad to say I kept a steady pace throughout the entire 7:00. Obviously the 5th minute was the most difficult as I dipped under my goal, one short of 14. The last two minutes it was go big or go home. I just went for it. A steady pace and kept telling myself it's almost over, just keep throwing yourself on the ground! I somehow found a second gear in that last minute and managed to pull out 15 burpees.

This one was definitely a mental challenge, but I feel like I beat it. I made my goal. Kept a steady pace and came out on top. The most physically tired part of my body were my quads. they were definitely on fire when this was over!

One down, four more to go. Bring on 12.2!!
