Open WOD 12.1 – Feb 23, 2012

Burpee madness

2012 Reebok CrossFit Open WOD #1

AMRAP in 7 minutes of:

  • BURPEES!

On each jump you must touch an object 6″ above your reach, with both hands.

WOD Notes:  You may think it is sick, twisted, or just plain mean… but CrossFit HQ has spoken. LET’S DO THIS! We will watch the full standards video tonight (once the site starts responding again…) and we’ll be prepared to brief you on any specific requirements.

Schedule Notes:  Instead of Make Up Day, we are running the above WOD from 5-7:30pm.  We will open the gym at 4:30 for athletes to start warming up, and we’ll go over standards at 5pm. The first heat will kick off at 5:15, and we’ll run heats continuously until all athletes have finished.  You can arrive anytime between 4:30pm and 7:00pm to do the WOD. Just like Make Up Day, we’ll have a recommended warm up on the board, but it’s your responsibility to ensure you are fully warmed up. For those athletes competing in the 2012 Open, you’ll have a judge assigned to count your reps so we can fairly validate your score. For anyone not competing in the Open, you are absolutely still welcome to come do the WOD! This will count as a class if you are a punch card or 2x/week member.

    Nervous poops…

  2. Tiana

    and just when I thought I escaped burpees today……oh well its only 7 minutes…..I guess.

    1. Sarg

      only 7? Tiana, you’re hilarious!

      1. Tiana

        I just think of all the WOD’s that have taken me 10-30 minutes to complete and I figure if I can get through that I can definitely get through this BUT I have never done burpees for 7 minutes straight so I may just be setting myself up for huge disappointment. Either way it should be fun 🙂

  3. Lindsey

    OMG…..7 mins of burpee’s!!!! I am still having flashbacks of the 30 burpee’s for time!! See you all at 4:30!!

  4. John

    Game time!!!!!! I’m going to be shaking all day.

    1. Sarg

      all day? i kept having dreams about burpees and waking up wondering if i already did them!

  5. Jimbo

    John, did u have anything to do with this? I suspect the contest has been compromised by a coach! LOL! This should be fun.

  6. The Buzz

    Sarg, honestly, me too. It was really wierd. Funny, I thought Spealler came up with WOD one. He was a wrestler. College wrestling match is 3 periods: 3 minutes, 2 minutes, 2 minutes (7 total). But, in wrestling you get a break in between, albeit short.

  7. Laurie

    Yeah, I think I’ll just stop at 100 and rest for the last minute. HA! Yeah, right.

  8. Megs

    Good luck to all my peeps at ICA!!! I know John is IN LOVE with this wod…its exactly what he hoped WOD 1 would be! ha ha

    Killa, have fun!! 🙂

  9. Killa

    Not cool Megs, not cool. Everyone knows how much I hate burpees, you would think kicking over that chalk bucket would have eased the pain for me. You should probably come scream in my face while I’m doing it! 😉

    1. Megs

      Seriously, 1000 burpees makes this wod seem like nothing!! Paint your nails a fun, bright color and hit it hard.

      if you really needed me, I’d be there, but you dont. I nominate Nikki to yell in my place!

  10. Nikki

    I’d like to point out that when we had the Nov 29 WOD to do 100, 150, or 200 burpees for time, everyone thought we were nuts. Well, it turns out we were on to something! If you all made it through that nightmare of a WOD, I know you can crush this one! I will admit it’s a little “less” fair to the tall (Killa) and solid (John)… but you all know you’ll get your revenge in the coming weeks!

    1. Phil

      i was just thinking about this wod and the other 30 burpees for time. so regretting missing both now.

      hope to be in late tonight, if not early sat morning!

  11. Joe

    I feel like I am back in high with a huge football game tonight. I’ve been wearing eye black all day, which will get you some strange looks in dental offices.

    1. Tiana

      HAAAAAAAAAAA!!! hahahaha!…I laughed REALLY hard at this! 🙂

  12. Killa

    Hahaha Joe that’s too funny, it’d be priceless to watch you do this with eye black on! I also hope to see Phil’s performance, at least he’s been practicing!! haha guess there is a bright side to being late
