Opens WOD 13.2, First Attempt
10:00 AMRAP of
5 Push Press @ 115#
10 Deadlift @ 115#
15 Box Jumps
Score: 290 Reps
Not bad for a first attempt, not bad at all. This one was all about gaming for me. I had heard from just about everyone that did the WOD that it was all about surviving the Box Jumps for 10:00. Many people had chosen step up/step down Box Jumps as a way to conserve energy while still meeting the standard.
I thought this was a crazy idea at first and not something that an advanced Crossfitter should ever need to do. I almost let my ego get the better of me and boy am I glad I didn't. Yes, the step-up/down strategy was no doubt slower than regular box JUMPS. However; it was really the only place I had to recover. I was able to sustain a pretty good pace for the first 7:30 and then I started to fall off a little but. I never stopped, just started moving slower. At the end I was gassed but I also felt like I could have reached a little deeper in the last 2:30.
