CF OPEN WOD 11.6

As many reps as possible in 7 minutes of:
3 Thrusters (Men 100 lbs, Women 65 lbs)
3 Chest to bar pull-ups
6 Thrusters (Men 100 lbs, Women 65 lbs)
6 Chest to bar pull-ups
9 Thrusters (Men 100 lbs, Women 65 lbs)
9 Chest to bar pull-ups
12 Thrusters (Men 100 lbs, Women 65 lbs)
12 Chest to bar pull-ups
15 Thrusters (Men 100 lbs, Women 65 lbs)
15 Chest to bar pull-ups
18 Thrusters (Men 100 lbs, Women 65 lbs)
18 Chest to bar pull-ups
21 Thrusters (Men 100 lbs, Women 65 lbs)
21 Chest to bar pull-ups

My total reps: 53
(got through the 12 thrusters and 5 pull ups in that round)

So...
It's done.
I'm finished with the Open.
Or, rather, it's finished with me.

I've enjoyed the entire experience and learned to push myself beyond my own expectations. I am slowly learning not to put restrictions on myself. I did not want to take a score of 3 for this workout, so I figure out those chest-to-bar pull ups and got way more reps than I thought I would. I feel successful and victorious. And although I am nowhere near the top 20 in my age group, I'm still on the board!

The only element they posted this year that I was unable to do was a muscle up. I didn't make it that far into that particular workout, but if I had, I would have tried like crazy to get one that day!

So, I'm looking forward to next year, and I hope they have the same format. I loved competing!
