12.4 down, 1 more to go

The 4th open WOD went really well for me, as I predicted.  It was an AMRAP in 12 minutes of 150 wall balls, 90 double unders, and 30 muscle ups.  I knew this workout would heavily rely on my execution on the double unders.  If I could get through the 90 with at least 20 seconds to spare, I knew I could get at least 1 muscle up.  Many people don't have muscle ups, so if I could get one, I knew I'd place much higher in the rankings.  I did the workout yesterday morning.  I took the advice of my coach and went all out on the wall balls. I hit 40 on my first set, then continued doing sets of 10 with as little rest as possible in between sets.  I finished the wall balls around 8 minutes in and started on the double unders.  Thankfully I rocked it.  I hit a set of 46, and then a couple smaller sets to finish the 90.  I was left with two minutes to get as many muscle ups as I could muster.  The first one was much harder that I expected.  I into the dip position, then really had to fight it to get to full extension. I ended up getting 3 muscle ups, which puts me in the top half of western Canada.  Only one more workout to go.
