Today was a decent session. I was a little surprised that they used the same workout from last year, but I went ahead and got after it today. My forearms and biceps were sore from yesterday, this definitely affected my pull-ups today. My hip flexors were still sore today; had to warm them up a ton today. I was definitely tight and no where near fresh, but overall everything felt good.

2012 Crossfit Open 12.5:

7 Minute AMRAP:

3 Barbell Thrusters
3 Chest to bar Pull-ups
6 Barbell Thrusters
6 Chest to bar Pull-ups
9 Barbell Thrusters
9 Chest to bar Pull-ups
12 Barbell Thrusters
12 Chest to bar Pull-ups
15 Barbell Thrusters
15 Chest to bar Pull-ups
18 Barbell Thrusters
18 Chest to bar Pull-ups
21 Barbell Thrusters
21 Chest to bar Pull-ups...
This is a timed workout. If you complete the round of 21, go on to 24. If you complete 24, go on to 27, etc.

I got through the 18 thrusters for a total of 108 reps. Considering I'm not fresh and didn't really know what to expect, I was happy with this score. I'm going to hit it up again this weekend and shoot for a score in the 120s. I got through 15s pretty easy. I started hitting a wall hard on the set of 18 thrusters; had to break it up into 4 sets. This was more than I wanted to. I think subconsciously I knew I wasn't fresh and that I have another shot (or two if I want) and so I didn't go insane on this set. I definitely regretted that afterward, I wish I would have tried to go unbroken on that set of 18 thrusters. I'm excited to do this workout again.

Rest 20 minutes then...

On a 15 minute clock:

800m run then...
AMRAP:
12 Ground-to-Overhead (45# plate)
12 V-ups
12 Burpees

6 Rounds + 11 Ground-to-Overhead. This was a solid metcon, felt decent on everything except my legs were shot on the run. Overall a solid session of training.
