Super Saturday

District CF representing the mainsite WOD demo today. This is the one I was too hungover to try. Had I known they were going to edit it to make it the most epic set of clips ever I would have done one round, called it a day, and puked.



Today was the first day of the CF Mid Atlantic Open hosted by District CF. The premise is to take each CF Games Open WOD each week and host it competition style every Saturday. From the Games site:

Workout 12.1

Complete as many reps as possible in 7 minutes of:

Burpees

This workout begins from the standing position. The Athlete will move from flat on the ground to touching an object with both hands that is 6 inches above their max reach. Score is total reps completed.

I threw down 117 today, which I'm pretty happy with. Really wanted 120 but I was struggling at the end. I tried the WOD yesterday and did 17 burpees on the min for 4 mins and ended up resting way too much, screwing myself in the end, and only getting 110. The ideal strategy is clearly just to keep as steady a pace as possible for the entire time. I went as slowly as possible out of the gate but it was still probably too fast. I hit 100 around 5:15 into the WOD then basically only did 17 more in the last 1:45.

My friend at DCF threw down 134 yesterday which was impressive. More impressive was how he threw down 142 today. Good for 1st in the Mid Atlantic, likely top 15 or 20 in the world once all the scores are in by Sun. Also Rich Froning did 141.

The competition aspect was a lot of fun. Great atmosphere and always nice when you have 8 people yelling at you to keep going. I came in third on the day, which is sweet, cause I got some shirts and gift certificates. But the top 3 guys at DCF aren't doing the WOD til tomorow. Will be interesting to see what kind of numbers they put up.
