Well, there's not much to be said about the last 2 days. I attempted to redo Opens Workout 14.1 and to say I failed miserably would be putting it mildly.
I did not break 7 rounds, I did not exceed my previous score and I didn't even get back to the barbell in the 7th round!! When I look back at why I failed I really don't have any clear answers. The effort was there. I literally pushed myself to the point where I couldn't do another rep. I just don't know why my engine broke down. My double unders were also crap in the later rounds both times I redid the workout.
The hardest thing is knowing that the last time I did this workout (in June, 2012) I fucking crushed it with a score of 351 reps. I guess I should take into account the fact that I did the workout in an empty gym, counting my own rounds. But I just remember feeling really good throughout that workout and going virtually unbroken on the double unders.
So, here I sit in sixty something place after week 1. Nowhere near where I wanted to be but also not dead by any means. Need to get over this, lick my wounds and crush the next workout. That's about all that I can do.

Opens WOD 14.1
10:00 AMRAP of 30 Double Unders, 15 Snatches @ 75#
- Score was 313 reps. Same score as 2011. This was a big disappointment. Snatches got really hard the last 2+ rounds. Shit, so did the double unders for that matter. So pissed to land 2 reps short of 7 rounds. I will do this again on Sunday and I will get 7 rounds if it kills me!!!

30 Clean and Jerks @ 195/135
30 Touch Target Burpees 6 inch
- Got 13 reps @ 195#. Really disappointed with this result. Maybe came out a bit too fast on the first set of C&J's and Burpees. Finished these in under 4:00! Really blew up on the 135# C&J's as I did singles the whole way through and took waayyy too long between reps.
