CrossFit Games Open

Today is the first of several weeks of open workouts CrossFit holds to determine the top atheltes in each area worldwide to go to the next level of CrossFit Games qualifying events.  While I have NO dillusions of making it there, I decided I would compete weekly just to see where I stand.

CorssFit Games Open Workout 12.1:
As Many Reps as Possible In 7:00 of burpees.  Chest must hit the florr on each rep, and you must jump and touch a target six inches above your max reach with both hands.

Score:  I got 87 reps.

I was hoping to get 100 but I think I went out of the gate too fast and burnt out early.  Also in the beginning I was wasting energy by jumping to far over my 6 inch target.  I may try this again tomorrow.  In the open, the workouts come out on Wednesday and you have until Sunday afternoon to complete it and post your score on the games site.  You're allowed to do it as many times as you would like within thoat time frame.
