Participating in the CrossFit Games Open

Several of us from No Excuses decided to participate in the CrossFit Games Open.  I think that it will be fun to measure myself up against several thousand other women around the WORLD!  Knowing that there are some amazing women out there makes me want to push myself harder, to see what I REALLY can do! 

I did the first WOD today (10 minutes, as many rounds as possible, of 30 double unders and 15 55# snatches) and only got 5 full rounds.  I pushed myself but I was so nervous at the start that I kept tripping up on the double unders during the first couple of rounds.  As I got into it my double unders got smoother and I did better.  Because of this I think that I will do the WOD again this weekend since I have until Sunday to post my results.

So far I’m the top woman in my gym, but somehow that just isn’t enough when the top women in the world are posting nearly 10 rounds.  TWICE my results.  I would like to be able to get 6 full rounds, maybe into the 7th.  I don’t know if I can, but if I can be smooth on all of my double unders then I know I can do better and at least get INTO the 6th round.
