Same as 11.1 where I did 297 reps. So 3 years later, I did 298 reps. The difference was that broke the double-unders 1 rep later. Maybe I over paced it by breaking up the snatches 6-5-4 from the beginning. I'll do it again on Monday. This time I'll redline it from the beginning and see how it goes.

And 5 years later...
Dug this up during a rabbit hole of looking at some crossfit videos. Crazy to look at the workouts and results. Still crossfit'ing, not racing and definitely not 35 years old any more. This year I turn 40 and will actually give the games a try. I am probably about 75% of where I wanted my fitness to be at this point, but with two 5 year old kids, two puppies and sort of a new job, I can't complain too much.
This is my attempt to journal my run at the Crossfit Games 2014, Masters style. Just to kick things off, a quick recap of what I wanted to do to get ready for my assault on the Crossfit Open 2014 followed by what I actually did to get ready:
What I wanted to do:
Summer of 2013: Get strong. Lift heavy, put on weight and increase my max lifts
Fall of 2013: Get my metcon in check. Run/Bike to work. Get in some longer runs. Generally work on metcons.
Winter 2013/2014: Amp up the work outs. Zone and cut out the drinking.
What I ended up doing:
Summer 2013: Crossfit Wods 3-5 x Week.
Fall of 2013: Crossfit Wods 3-5 x Week.
Winter 2013/2014: Crossfit Wods 3-5 x Week. Amped it up a little bit. In February zoned a little bit and went a few days in a row without drinking.
Best laid plans... That being said, I feel pretty damned good. My goal is to make the top 200 so I can get into the next set of workouts. If that happens, I'll go real hard at the qualifying workouts but I have no visions of getting into the top 20. I really think getting into the top 200 will be a stretch but I will go for it. I am healthy, fairly fit and just about 40.
Let's see how it goes. That being said, I am about to close up shop to go to happy hour and my buddy Paul's 40th birthday dinner. Not starting off well, but this isn't any different to how I have been training!!!
