Crossfit Sectionals Update

Crossfit Sectionals season has started. The competition consists of 6 workouts spread over 6 weeks. You are ranked against competitors in your region. I am in the Northeast region competing against 1,066 other competitors vying for 60 spots at the Northeast Regionals.



Week 1's workout was :
Complete as many reps in possible in 10 minutes of the following couplet
30 Double Unders
15 Power Snatches at 75 lbs.

I completed 6 rds and 30 Double Unders for 300 total reps. This had me ranked 216 in my region after week one. This leaves me plenty of work to crack the top 60 in the region.


Week 2's workout was:
Complete as many reps in 15 minutes of the following triplet
9 Dead lifts @ 155 lbs
12 hand release push ups
15 Box Jumps on 24" box.

I completed 12 rounds plus 9 dead lifts and 3 push ups for 444 total reps. Based on the strength of this workout I have jumped to 108th overall in the region. Still plenty of work to do, but the top 60 is now possible.

My only concern is a nagging wrist injury that will not allow me to complete certain movements. If one of these movements comes up in the workouts I will have to drop out of the competition and shift my focus to next year.
