Practicing muscle ups today tomorrow and saturday like its my job, Result: Will most likely be out of the count on Sunday. boo!

I'll be tackling this tomorrow morning at 5:30. The wall balls will be no problem, the double unders I should be able to do doing 3 singles, 1 double, 3 singles one double. Until I hit 90 doubles. The muscle ups hoever...I'm out. I'm hoping to be able to have enough time to complete both the wall balls and du's in full. Good luck everyone. I'll report tomorrow.

Well 13.3 was an epic disaster for me. After an awesome performance on 13.2 (274 reps), I barely finished wall balls in the 12 min, with over 30+ no reps for hitting right at the 9 ft line instead of above it. Yep that's right I had to throw the ball up there over 180 times to finish the 150! I've never wanted to quick during workout so bad in my life!

Unfortunately I'm going out of town and made the last minute decision to do the workout today during open gym despite being pretty sore from heavy workouts the last two days. I think I'm just going to chalk this up to a lesson learned and get back it next week since I don't think this is a workout I want to do twice in 3 days. Hopefully at least 3 of the girls on our team can put up at least 240+ so we have 3 good scores to count.

Good luck to everyone who still has to go! Make sure your reps count

13.3 was an eyeopener for me. I completed "Karen" back in October (using a 12 lb ball) and finished in 8:35 so I thought for sure I could at least finish the wall balls within 10 minutes and have a few minutes to get a decent amount of doubleunders in.

Boy, was I wrong.

I completely underestimated how bad those wall balls really were... on top of getting No-Repped for throws that were technically high enough but my ball just didnt HIT the wall - I also got out of breath WAY quicker than I anticipated. My lungs were BURNING and even though I felt like my legs/arms could have physically gotten in a few more reps, I found I had to rest in between sets of 3 or sometimes even 2.

I barely finished the 150 wall balls in 11:55 and was able to squeeze in one measely double under for a score of 151.

I was a bit diappointed to say the least considering I have worked hard in the past few months and have recently been able to string together 20-30 doubleunders so I really wanted the opportunity to show them off....

Score: 152 . . . Wall Balls in 11:23 and finshed with 2 double-unders.

I did this same workout about a month ago... and got 240! But last night when I actually was being judged I must have gotten about 20 no reps on the wall ball so I only had about 10 seconds left when I picked up my rope for double unders. I ended up with a score of 158. Needless to say I am doing this over again Saturday

... on top of getting No-Repped for throws that were technically high enough but my ball just didnt HIT the wall....

This happened at least a dozen times for me.

This was horrible. I was feeling pretty good about myself last week, but wallballs are my nemesis. I think I just don't have the coordination down yet. I got 108, plus a good 20-30 no-reps. I'm mostly upset about how badly my form broke down at the end... knees going every which way in the squat and basically hurling that damn ball up at the target.

Plus the ball actually hit me in the face once, somewhere in the first 20. That was pretty demoralizing. :grumble:

On the up side, I'm actually looking forward to 13.4 now, because it really can't get any worse!

Jesus Christ! Here I have butterflies in my stomach about doing this WOD on Sunday and see this thread. I was hoping for some encouraging stories here but it sounds like everyone got their *kitten* handed to them. Sheeh...

Wanted to share an observation from my 6 a.m. session yesterday when we did 13.3, but maybe this applies to the Open or WODs generally. Anywho....our session was all women. We noticed that when "No rep" was said, it instantly ruined the person's rhythm. It was a demotivator and increased frustration. The person usually stopped/paused and started thinking about it too much. But if the person counting said, "Higher" when the ball wasn't high enough or "Lower" when the person didn't get past parallel, they knew it was a no-rep and just kept on going, better on the next one. We all compared notes and decided we got more reps in when we weren't jarred out of the game mentally with that demoralizing" No rep!"

13.3= 111 reps... again, perfectly happy with this because I'm recovering from a chest cold and didn't want to end up with pneumonia because I was stupid. I slowed it down to a crawl the last 4 min. Excited, because I'm sure I could have gotten my 152+ if I had felt well! Whoohooo!

I'm excited for next year! This year I registered for grins and giggles, and to have a baseline for my fitness.

Yesterday I finally got around to doing 13.3. I have been dreading it for days but could not do it because I have been sick. 213 was my final score and I am ok with that. I feel if I had not been sick the last week and a half, I could have gotten through the double unders and maybe a couple of muscle ups. Usually double unders are a piece of cake but on the first jump off of the ground, something felt seriously wrong. My legs have never felt like that. I have the worst case of DOMs I have had in probably 2 years today.

233. Finished wall balls at 9 min (terrible time but better than the last time i did it) and was so spent that I only got through 83 double unders.

On a positive note, I vow to have my first muscleup completed within 3 months time.

Bring on 13.4

Hi! I started crossfit in December and got 90 wall balls in for 13.3. I WAY underestimated that workout. I usually WB at 12 so I clearly need to step up my game. It is a great benchmark for me for 2014!

damn y'all! I got 1. Yes ONE. I had never even tried the 14lb ball and only got one up high enough that hit the wall. Got a few more up, but no repped because they didn't hit the wall.
