Why is the comments page wicked weak?? Part of the reason that the CrossFit program effecive is the accountibility componant. You are going to push yourself a lot harder if you know that your score is going to go up on the white board. I know that I do. Same thing goes for the comments page. It is just another place to hold yourself accountable for your performance.
What is super neato is that when we repeat WODs and strength sets you can go back and search for your time, reps, 3 rep max…whatever you did that day. If you are bad at journaling this could be a great option for you. If you are good at journaling this might be a good option in case you delete the journal you had on your phone/computer (I have heard this before), or lose your paperback copy or your dog eats it (I have heard that one before too). When you write down your food your diet gets better, when you write down your wods your performance will get better too.
Today is is the 1st day of the 2012 CrossFit Open. Please post your score to comments.

5:30 was jumpin off like this comment section!!
I’m not gonna lie but I wasn’t going to come today when I saw the burpees, then I remembered yesterday’s post and decided 7 minutes of burpees would surely make me a little bit more comfortable with them…. all 60 of them.
9+4, red+blue band for pull-ups.

Open WOD burpees count as penalty burpees for being late right? Take your time getting to class today.
Lots of hard work and huuuge scores this morning with the 5:30 and 6:30 crew. I’m rolling up to hit it with the 5:00 crew this afternoon- first time rockin’ it with the night gang.
Paul, what we did this morning was similar to what they did in the CF games demo video online- adjust the height of the rings to 6″ above max reach.
Jason = bad ass!!
Can’t wait for Burpee madness with the 5:30 crew.
The CF Southie comment section is the place to be…i’m hanging out here alllll day!
Awww shiiiii** check out all these comments. 7 minutes of burpees-no problem. Maybe I will do 8 minutes just for fun.
117 Burpees
wod1: 81
wod2: 8 + 4
What is CFS doing for the 6 inches thang? Curious as Im flying to ATL today and plan to show up at Crossfit Dahlonega, GA tomorrow to give 12.1 a try
i assume they are doing it with rings? i am sure the georgia peaches will know what to do! have fun!
80 burpees for 12.1 optional WOD….11 rounds +2
everyone keep in mind that jason did this with ONE LEG!! BOOM! awesome work!
woops, i thought this was jason dionne, he’s the one with one working leg. awesome work nonetheless!!!!!
Quick question, are we judging/testing/re-testing this weekend at all as well? Thanks!
And 7 minutes of burpees, deserving of a Prefontaine quote… “The only good race pace is suicide pace, and today looks like a good day to die.”
Sunday at 11am retest for anyone that can’t make it today or really wants to do 7minutes of burpees more than once.
74 burpies to ring at 5:30 am . I guess I’ll take it 🙂
Love seeing coach Alec in the morning too!
“You may also use this time to work on skills,goats or flexibility.”? Crossfit and Animal Training? I’m pretty sure they could do a box jump, but I think training them to do burpees is close to impossible. Or am I missing the point, are we supposed to dead lift the goats, or lateral burpees over the goat? 😉
A goat is a term referring to something you are not good at. For example, rowing and Double Unders are two of my goats. After the WOD today, I will continue to work slaughter these goats!
Thanks for the clarification Goose. Hadn’t heard the term used before, so I was thought it was a typo for “goals”.
Sweet, an Open WOD I can actually do! My strategy will be to avoid eating for at least 3 hours prior–to avoid puking by minute 6.
How about some strategies for this amrap tomorrow? Do you break it down into small blocks, 30 seconds on 10 seconds off… go all out for as long as you can, rest 10-20 seconds, repeat?
My plan is to go out hard for the first minute or two but not so hard for the fi that I crash and burn. Then I will try to keep moving for the entire 7 minutes as opposed to work/rest intervals.
Tomorrow just ain’t gonna be my day hahaha good luck everyone
My dog ate my crossfit journal last summer. For real. I still have the remains with little doggie teeth marks all over it.
