Wod 13.1 DONE

First one down.
I was traveling when this wod came out and couldn't see the demo wod until Friday morning.  Talk about an awesome combo!!!  They're separating the men from the boys (and women from the girls) straight away this year.....

My plan immediately was to tempo the burpees to either 4 or 5 seconds per burpee and grind them out slow and steady.  I stuck with it and ended up hitting 7 reps of 165lb snatch.  I still had gas in the tank and felt that I could have finished the 30 at 165 lbs.  Ran out of time. 

You know how these things go, afterward I over analyzed  my strategy and figured I should have strung more of the 135# snatches together OR gone faster on the burpees, BUT then I might not have had gas in the tank to cycle through more 165# snatches.....WHO KNOWS? I only did the wod once, so I won't know until I try it again later, but then it will be too late to submit.  I posted a 157 rep count but was aiming for completion of the 165# snatches (180 rep count).

I'm happy with my effort, it's easy to play monday morning quarterback, but while you're in the moment you have to figure out a good strategy for yourself and stick to it.

I did see and hear of a lot of people getting gassed on the first round of burpees and snatches because they went too fast out of the gate.

NOW, we'll see what 13.2 brings.  Man I love this stuff!!!
