Burpees for Boobies Competition

WOD #1

10:15am

13 minute timecap
40 wallballs
21-15-9
Power Clean @ 135#
Toes to Bar
...then...
25 burpee buy out

Result: DNF (13th place after this WOD)

Made it through 6 toes to bar on the last set of 9 (127 reps). This was a pretty humbling start. Forearms were fried. Biggest limiting facto

Breakdown: unbroken wallball
                    11/5/5 on 21 cleans
                    5/5/3/2/2/2/2 on 21 T2B
                    5/5/5 on 15 cleans
                    1/2/2/1/1/1/2/2/2/1 on 15 T2B
                    unbroken on 9 cleans
                   1/2/1/1/1 on final T2B

WOD #2

11:45am

7 minute timecap
Find 2RM Overhead Squat from the floor

Result: 225 / 275x / 275 / 280.1 (7th place after this WOD. Finished 2nd here)

I wish I could get this one back. Too conservative.

WOD #3

2:00pm

9 minutes timecap
750m KB Run @ 1.5
...then...
AMRAP during the remainder of time
10 KB Ground to Overhead @ 1.5
30 doubles

Result: Run + 2 + 10 (7th place after this. Finished 10th here)

Run was done in just under 4:30, which really surprised me. I based it off the 300m run repeats I did a week or so ago and I honestly didn't believe I'd finish the run in 9 minutes. My judge made me do 36 doubles on the second round because he miscounted. It's whatever. I'm now 6 reps better than my competition haha.

Overall Place: 7th out of 14 RX Competitors

Reflection: I need to lose some poundage and get better at T2B, running, and improving anaerobic and aerobic capacity. However, I performed a lot better than I had anticipated. There were several guys here that were top 200 in the South Central Region. I'm glad I got to have this experience. Thanks, Preston, for helping get very well prepared for this competition.
