2014 CrossFit Open! 14.1

We signed up for the 2014 Crossfit Open! We know we won't be anywhere near the pro's, but we want to see how we compare to others like us, so we signed up for fun! 

14.1 

As many reps as possible in 10 minutes

30 double unders

15 power snatches with 55lbs 

This is such a cool experience. Like I said, I know we aren't pro's but it still feels so awesome to be a part of this. I feel like a real competitor in the Crossfit Games! I love it. 

I scored 122 and mom scored 76. We both had to use 55 pounds for the power snatches because we are in the 18 to 54 women age group. Mom missed the next cut off by 1 year!!! Haha if she was 55, she would of been able to use 45 pounds  in the snatches and she would of been golden because 55 was tough for her. It was tough for me too! We had to do clean and jerks instead of snatches (which is acceptable) but these take longer and use more of our time; however, they are much easier than snatches. 

Here are our scores from the night! 

I completed 2 rounds and then 30 more double unders and 2 more power snatches (power clean). 

Mom completed 1 round and then 30 more double unders and 1 more power clean. 

This was fun! We did way more than we thought we could do. The double unders messed us up a few times on the second rounds which cost us some time but it's all good! I'm just excited were competing! 

By March 3rd, we will know where we place worldwide on workout 14.1

Oh yeah, I didn't post on Wednesday this week because I was EXHAUSTED after the workout! We did rope climbs and kettle bell swings! The workout was insane! 

Every minute on the minute, do a rope climb and then 10 kettle bell swings with a 35lb kettle bell. I climbed the rope 5 times and then had to do the alternative rope climb, which is pulling yourself up from the ground on the rope with your arms (very tough). Mom did the alternative for all 10 because she can't get the clamp down, but she will with time! I passed 10 minutes and it took me about 14 to finish the workout. Mom finished on 10 and did a great job! This was an intense workout and today I am really feeling the shoulder and back muscle pain from the climbs and kettle swings. 

Here's some pics of us on the ropes... 

Ok, it's time to relax and enjoy the weekend. Wedding planning of course, so maybe not too much relaxing!

Till next week,
