Complete AMRAP in 12 minutes of:
150 wallball shots
90 double-unders
30 muscle-ups
Score: 243
Notes: I did it! I executed my plan perfectly and left myself with over two minutes remaining to attempt muscle-ups. It sounds easy on paper to get through the wallball shots and double-unders in less than 10 minutes, but it was an absolutely brutal experience. I finished the wallball shots in approximately seven minutes. I cranked out 50 right off the bat, and then started grinding out sets of 10. I was surprised how much time I had remaining when I moved to double-unders -- I was actually ahead of pace. Unfortunately, the double-unders proved much harder than anticipated. I couldn't control my heart rate and even had to take a knee at one point. Tom and Chris really helped me continue moving and I finished double-unders with over two minutes on the clock. I took a few seconds to collect myself, and then hopped up on the rings. I couldn't keep the false-grip, however, and ended up failing my first two attempts. I'm proud of myself for not getting discouraged. I simply chalked up my wrists and nailed my next three attempts. My goal was 3-5 muscle-ups, so I'm happy with this result. I know deep down that I couldn't have gotten all five had I been able to maintain the false-grip, but I can't complain. Today was a huge step forward for me and makes me believe that I can be competitive in CrossFit by continuing to work hard and push my limits. One week left!
