Open 13.5

4 min AMRAP

15 Thrusters 100#
15 Chest to Bar Pullups

If you complete 90 or more reps within 4 minutes, your time cap
extends to 8 minutes. If you complete 180 or more reps within 8
minutes your time cap extends to 12 minutes, etc.

89 reps - didn't think I'd have a problem getting 90, shit was
definitely harder than expected. Got close to muscle failure on the
last set of pullups, did the last 4 as singles.

My goal going in was to finish top 100 in the Mid Atlantic, I think I
ended up in 375 give or take a few, around 4,600 worldwide. Awesome. I
could have squeezed out a few more reps on a few workouts, namely the
first (burpee/snatch), fourth (c&j, t2b), and fifth (thrusters, c2b),
which would have bumped me up a little bit but I don't think I could
have done any better than 200-250. Competition was intense this year.
One of the guys on our team last year who qualified as an individual
(top 60 after the Open) finished outside the top 100, granted he
wasn't training as hard this year as he did last year, but still
noteworthy nonetheless.

I have a two day team competition (Mid Atlantic Affiliate Challenge)
coming up on April 27th which will be a lot of fun, so the next two
and a half weeks will be focusing on prepping for that. For the most
part I will continue Outlaw programming to prep for the competition,
which will work out well because the Outlaw programming will switch to
regionals prep after this week's deload week.

I haven't determined what my longer term goals are after April. Couple
of options come to mind: dedicated olympic lifting programming for x
months + a meet in the fall, and/or shoot for top 100 in the 2014
Open.
