CrossFit Open WOD 11.2

This was a "goat" workout for me in the very first CrossFit Open. I did pretty poorly and I think it was mainly because of the push-ups.

WOD 11.2
15:00 AMRAP of...
9 Deadlift @ 155#
12 Push-Ups (Hand Release)
15 Box Jumps

Score was an even 11 rounds. This was an improvement of more than one complete round. I did slow down on the push-ups the last few rounds and had to take some short breaks but overall moved pretty well throughout.

     Don't know what happened to me on this workout. Struggled badly with first set of OHS. Had to break into 10/10/10. TTB did not go much better. First set-6/6/6/3/3/3/3. Somehow the heavier set of OHS went better. Broke into 10/15. TTB did a big set of 8 and then finished with 4 and 3. This capped off a pretty miserable week of training.
