"CrossFit Games Open Workout 11.2"
AMRAP in 15 minutes of:
9 DL (155)
12 push-ups (HR)
15 box jumps (24)
Score: 7 rounds + 9 DL & 5 push-ups (266)
Notes: A bit neurologically fried from yesterday, but this was a decent effort. Approached it at about 95% effort with the intention of feeling what it's like to move for such a long workout. Beat score from 2011 by almost a full round (233). DL were very doable. Focused on bringing hips to the bar, not bar to the hips. Push-ups were the biggest obstacle and I intentionally broke them 7/5 right from the outset. Had to go to 5/4/3 by the end. This was actually kind of nice because it provided a little rest period. Good effort on box jumps. Only regret was breaking rounds 5 and 6 10/5. Only other area for improvement would be transitioning quicker between movements, particularly from box jumps to DL. 8 rounds would be possible for me, but not much beyond that.
A freight train is strong, powerful, and steady across long distances. A freight train only goes "off the tracks" if it gets going at a pace faster than it can sustain. Bobby Scott Performance believes that a large volume of sub-maximal efforts paired with intelligently programmed bouts of intensity will develop a strong, powerful competitor with a huge aerobic base -- in other words, "an aerobic freight train."
