Lurker coming out to post because I'm damn proud of my score and I'd like to start posting more regularly on this board. I've only been doing crossfit since January and am already completely hooked. My score for 13.1 was 157.
I don't know my max snatch, but there was no way I was getting 75#, especially after everything else before it! I was bummed about that part, it would have been nice to even get 1 or 2.
The high score at my box so far for women is 152!!
ETA - I think we did our time backwards. That was my time left, so elapsed time would be 6:52.
Awesome job! My goal is 100 so I'm glad to see your score.
Could someone please explain what this even means?
signed, nosy girl who feels like she's in Greek class
Every year Crossfit has 'an open'...it is open to anybody who signs up and pays $20. You do 5 workouts, one a week for 5 weeks. You compete against the entire world essentially. It is also a qualifier for regional competitions, which are qualifiers for the World competition in LA
Wednesday they announced the first workout for 2013, called 13.1
It is as many reps as possible in 17 minutes of (for women)
40 burpees 30 snatches at 45# 30 burpees 30 snatches at 75# 20 burpees 30 snatches at something ridiculous like 100# - I don't know because I didn't look beyond the 75# 10 burpees 30 snaches at something even higher than 100# lol.
I will be happy to get 100 reps - so burpees, snatches and more burpees. I can't do a 75lbs snatch so I doubt I will get more than 100 - but I will try!
Each rep equals 1. So doing 40 burpees & 30 snatches = 70. So to get 150 she did 40 burpees, 30 snatches, 30 burpees, 30 snaches, 20 burpees all in 17 minutes.

I think I might tackle it this weekend. Wish me luck!
My boss is the 2008 women's champ, and she is in Finland right now. She hit it with Mikko Salo (2009 champ) and got 171. He got 191. Mikko's back! I'm really pulling for him.
Just got home from the 13.1... Got 100 reps done in 9:41. Not too terrible, finishing 100 was my goal so at least I met that! I made 3 attempts at the 75 lb snatch, almost got it all the way up, but not quite, lol! Anyone else do theirs today?

I did mine Sat!
I hit my goal of 100. I tried the 75lb snatch for a couple minutes and just couldn't get that sucker over my head.

205! Lindsey is my hero lol.
The owner of my gym was at 13th in her masters category the other day but now she's down to like 46th. Not bad for worldwide tho! Right now she is second in our region!
I saw that!! She is so freakin strong. I'm excited to see what Lindsay Valenzuela gets. Better go check the leader board...
I have a massive girl crush on her. Like...LOVE her. She's so freaking strong. Have you ever seen the video of her from last year's SoCal regionals? When she found out she made it to the Games. OMG it was classic Lindsey. She jumped up and screamed "FUCK YESSSSSS" and clenched her fists and sort of stalked off and by the time she came back a few seconds later, she was crying. She's just kind of a neat mix of super super strong body and mind, but also sensitivity. (:31 seconds in here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qn_So4cKiWI)
I also have to love the "other" Lindsey, Lindsey Smith. She lives here in town and she is sponsored by Rogue, so she works out at our gym several days a week. Last week I was walking out of work and she was practicing handstand pushups without a wall. She brings in her daughter to hang out while Mom trains and OMG...Alexis is SO adorable!
This year I'm pulling for Kristan Clever (I think it's her time again), Mikko Salo (I think it's his time again too, and he's been through a lot since winning the 2009 Games), and possibly Neal Maddox.

Haha that was the first I'd heard of Lindsey, when I watched that video. I had just started CF and was getting really into the games. I saw her jump out of that ice bath and scream her face off, it was love at first sight. I get SO MAD if anyone says she looks manly, I'm very protective LOL
I really like kristan clever, I thought it was awesome how supportive she was of the other girls, when I think it was Julie foucher was having trouble with the handstand pushups, she was cheering her on, it was so great! I got a little teary eyed
I did mine on Friday. Got 101 reps with a tie break of 4:23. I was happy to get the one snatch at 75# but I really need to step up my game with snatches. There's no reason I shouldn't have been able to complete that.
The top girl in my gym got 185! Holy crap! She's ranked in the top 400 women worldwide for this WOD. Insanity!
