20.2
What is up CrossFit world! Thursday, Oct 10th started the 2020 CrossFit Open. This week is week two of the five-week series.
10 Round for time of:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
4 dumbbell thrusters
6 toes-to-bars
24 double-unders
Before
This workout was definitely not built in my favor. Because of this, we will be doing scaled this week. With the scaled weight, this workout should not be too bad, but the time limit is what going to KILL.
Strategy
The strategy for this workout is, DO NOT STOP. 20 mins is a very long time but as long as you do not stop the rounds will get done.
Durning
3…2…1…GO. “Wow 20lbs. is not too bad let’s get this sh*t done”. I finished the first round sub one min and decided to try and keep that same pace throughout. Every round my judge would say ” this is your best round yet keep going” but in my head, all I could think about is that whats she said last round. After what I thought was internity I looked at the clock and realized that it had only been five mins and I was in for a long ride. Keeping my sub one min pace throughout the 20 mins, I finished with 26 rounds and 3 thrusters.
After
Ouch that hurt…. My stomach was cramping and my calves have definitely seen better days. I was surprised about how many rounds I had done in the given time. I was super proud of myself for the score I received but deep down I was still upset that I had to scale the workout. Knowing that I do not want to be in this situation next year, I am going to keep working on my double unders and try to master them within the year so I will not be in this situation next year. I know it will be hard, but it was harder for me having to resort to a scaled workout because I did not know how to do a movement.
