Opens WOD 14.2 first attempt

In 0-3:00 complete 2 rounds of...
     - 10 O/H Squats
     - 10 CTB Pull-Ups

In 3:00-6:00 complete 2 rounds of
     - 12 O/H Squats
     - 12 CTB Pull-Ups

Keep adding on 2 more reps in each round. Continue until you cannot complete 2 rounds



Came in feeling like I could do pretty good on this workout. The O/H Squat weight I knew would be no problem for me and my butterfly CTB pull-ups have come a long way. What I wasn't sure is when this workout would start to get hard and how I'd respond. So, went into this without much of a gameplan except to try to lay off  bit in the first round.

First round was as expected - very easy. OHS's were unbroken. I split the CTB's into sets of 5 and did all butterfly. Had about a minute and a half to rest.

Round 2 was a little more taxing but still had lots of time to rest - about a minute.

In round 3 the CTB's got real tough. I went to failure a couple times and that is never good. Can't remember how much time I had to complete the 2nd round of 14 CTB's but it was not enough. I finished with 136 reps. Not terrible for a first attempt but not awful either. Still, I need to break through to the next round if I want to have any shot of being in the top 20-30 on this workout. I will obviously repeat it and I plan on backing off my pace in Round 2. I will also do regular kipping CTB's instead of butterfly up until Round 3. I just need that little extra in the tank in order to push through.
