13.2 - Twice is Better with Loud Noises

So, 13.2 was announced and I have to say the CrossFit gods were on my side. I hoped and prayed for something with light weights and nothing that would cause further damage to my hands after 13.1.

And voila...there it was!

From the minute it was announced I decided to try this WOD twice for 2 reasons:
1. I wanted to see where I could be more efficient
2. I feel I can coach better having the first hand experience with the WOD

The first time I attempted the WOD it was just me, my judge and one other person in the gym. I got 227 reps...respectable, but not my goal of 240.

Saturday came around and the box had all sorts of loud noises going on from cheering, barbells dropping, screaming, the timer...you name it!

3, 2, 1...GO! And I was off! At around the 3rd round my hamstrings were hating me and I took a second to shake my head, which did not go unseen by my fellow athletes and was followed by words of encouragement and more loud noises. Let me tell you, if everyone wasn't there, I probably would have given up, taken the 227 and called it a day.

I ended up with 255 reps.

I have to attribute a great deal of this to the amazing community of CF7M! Its astonishing what you can do when you have the support of others!
