Games 2012...It is time.

To be honest, I never thought I would sign up for the Crossfit Games. Mainly this is because I know there are some huge holes in my game which I know without a doubt will be exposed, probably in the first workout. I have never done a legit muscle up, for example. So why bother, you may ask, right? Part of the reason is that we will be doing the workouts at Crossfit Central anyway. The other  reason is simply to know where I stand at the end of the open. The workouts will be brutally hard and will expose every weakness we as competitors in the games have. Keeping it real, I don't expect that I will end up on TV this summer, but by the time I turn 45.... enough bullshit...here we go!

Crossfit Central WOD
Games 12.1
7 Min AMRAP of Burpees
Score: 64

My strategy bit me a little. I was going too slow trying to keep a pace and ran out of time with gas in the tank. To be fair it wasn't a lot of gas, but I had a good 10-15 more in me. Sucks.
