CrossFit Games Open 12.5

Complete as many reps as possible in 7 minutes of the following rep scheme:

100/65 pound Thruster, 3 reps
3 Chest to bar Pull-ups
100/65 pound Thruster, 6 reps
6 Chest to bar Pull-ups
100/65 pound Thruster, 9 reps
9 Chest to bar Pull-ups
100/65 pound Thruster, 12 reps
12 Chest to bar Pull-ups
100/65 pound Thruster, 15 reps
15 Chest to bar Pull-ups
100/65 pound Thruster, 18 reps
18 Chest to bar Pull-ups
100/65 pound Thruster, 21 reps
21 Chest to bar Pull-ups…

This is a timed workout. If you complete the round of 21, go on to 24. If you complete 24, go on to 27, etc.

My total reps: 54


This is ONE rep more than I got last year. And amazingly, I suppose adrenaline and competitive spirit kicked in I stepped up to the bar today because I did not miss one single rep on the chest-to-bar! I was overjoyed every time I touched the bar.

Again, like last year, I'm glad I did the Open and even though I'm not anywhere near the level of the people in my age group who will go to the games, I did finish in the top 1/3 of my age group. So, it was a success!
