Open WOD 12.5

So 12.5 got announced yesterday evening.  It is a repeat of last years final open workout.  A 7 minute escalating Fran ladder.  The rep scheme is:  3 thrusters, 3 chest to bar pull ups, 6 thrusters, 6 CTB pull ups, 9 thrusters, 9 CTB pull ups etc.  The thruster weight for the guys is 100lbs, 5 pounds heavier than Fran.  Last year I managed to get 78 reps.  My initial goal for this year is 100 reps.  I think I should be able to do the round of 9 unbroken, and then I'll have to start breaking up the thrusters and pacing myself.  I did Fran for the first time late last year. It took me 5:56 and completely messed me up.  Thankfully this workout is quite different from Fran.  If you don't pace yourself a bit, you will burn out fast.  It's still going to hurt though.
