The Open has already begun to ruin my sleep - two nights ago a dream of the mystery wod and last night of me doing the burpees wod but finding out at the end the height hasn't 6" above my head.....I'm spent, already!

I do think this one will be fun but only once haha

Well, in the words of my non-crossfitting husband (but soon to be) "That sounds like hell'.

I on the otherhand, am excited! My goal is 100. Which I just pulled out a calculator and that means a steady 15 a minute. (yes, i needed a calculator for that). I'm with Dan - definitely only doing this one once!

Well Ladies and Gents I did it this morning, I was two reps shy of 100. Def don't want to redo, but gonna redo on Saturday......Furbees

Ok Teresa, 15 a minute. hmm. With the memorable times we have timed our 100 burpees, it has always taken me just over 8 mins. This will require some extra cocunut water. Plus I have been studying Bekah's technique. Nice job Bus!

T-bone, maybe this should be Wes's first WOD?!? Welcome to Crossfit!

I'm shooting for 45! 50+ would be sweet, but I think my calf would explode. Good luck everyone!

Michael said...

OK you crazy bastards, I'm in. I just signed up so someone in charge needs to accept me on the good guys' team. I think I 'joined a team' correctly. I'm shooting for 100.

I did 68 today. Yes they were verified and counted. So, Teresa, 100 is doable for you. Very much so.
