Burpees!

I completed the first of the crossfit open WOD's yesterday morning at Crossfit Lions.  Our coach did a great job of setting up the gym to run the different heats.  He put tables on top of our pullup cage to act as our burpee target.  This way we didn't have to look up at the target we were hitting, just jump with our arms in the air like a regular burpee.  This made the WOD much easier I think.  The workout was as many reps in 7 minutes of burpees.  I had one of our more experienced members judge me which helped a lot.  I started out very quickly.  He told me to slow down immediately to a pace that I could keep up.  I followed his advice and I think it worked.  Around 60 burpees in things really started to suck.  I thought that my lungs would go first, but it turned out my legs started to fail before I was running out of breath.  My goal was to get above 90.  I ended up scoring 101.  That places me at 325/851 in the Canada West region, a result that I am really happy with at the moment.  I'm sure standings will change after one or two more workouts.  My goal for the open is to finish in the top half of Canada West.  We'll see if I can make it happen.
