Open WOD 13.3

Hooray!!!
     We did extremely well at OKC with this workout last year. The key to this workout...the key to every workout...is  pace, pace, pace, pace. Last year we tried all different types of work sets for the wall balls. Your challenge for this year is to figure out what kind of pace you can push and stay consistent with.
     I am also very excited that HQ will have a tiebreaker for this workout. If you are an athlete who does not have double unders, the time that it takes you to finish wall balls becomes very important. Likewise if you are an athlete who does not have muscle ups the time it takes you to finish your doubles will be very important. So.. just like 13.1 this workout deals with stages and athlete types.
     This workout, for the athletes with muscle ups, is about completing the "Buy In" of wall balls and double unders. You must think about this workout as 30 muscle ups for time with a buy in of wall balls and double unders. We have been doing a bunch of BHT "Buy Ins" with rows and runs these past few weeks. This was to simulate the metabolic output of Open "Buy Ins". I will post some strategy ideas tomorrow with 20.4's work.
     For now, remember your score from last year (or find it). Then, read the 13.3 rules here. Finally, try to remember how you got last year's score and what you would have done differently...and remember...Pace Pace Pace Pace.

P.S....Brad, these next two points are for you.

  1. I posted this picture because you love "Ginny Workout Faces", which is cool and weird....mostly cool, but mostly weird. 
  2. BREAK UP YOUR MFing MUSCLE UPS! (this second point is really for everyone and I will elaborate on this tomorrow).
