35:00 flat. Rx. Took me a while to get around to it because I’m trying to get over the cold but today was last day to do it. If Rich Froning competed with fever, I figured I didn’t have an excuse. An older dude at work did this 1 month after a heart intervention. Madd props. I, on the other hand, almost puked last round.
25:37 Rx.
39:09 This was my marathon; I had decided that I was going to finish this wod before it was announced, It didn’t matter to me what it was. It was just a matter of finding a way to handle it and get my first Open victory. The 43 kgs thrusters are not really a big issue, as long as I warm up properly and do good mobility work; I just had never done them in this volume before. After a lot of DU practice in these past weeks and trying different strategies in how to accumulate reps for this wod,… Read more »
Hey props to you for gutting it out 1 at a time
Awesome Jorge! Eres un campeon! Way to stick with it and not let it beat you!
Nice job!
This is what determination looks like in action. Doing whatever it takes to finish. Great job.
24:58. Started out great but my shin splints caught up with me about the 5th rd of double unders then it was a struggle. We do all of the invictus workouts and open workouts in our garage in our homemade gym, so it’s different than a box but it’s been amazing so far. Any recommendations for shin splints? I used KT tape and stretched a good amount but I just can’t kick them. Thanks!
Rx 15:54 ugh. Not how I wanted to end things. Ended up having to wait 2+ hours to get into a heat and this was during dinner time… almost backed out but did it anyway… will most likely re-do with proper rest and prep
Always gonna mess with you mentally to be stagnant that long.
Yeah bro and I got a little hangry too.. no excuses though. That one just beat me, plain and simple.
Redo redo redo redo!! I know you got me on this.
I’m going to spend some time on the bike tomorrow to get my quads working again and give it another go on Monday. Nothing else to say except I face planted in this one!
For a new warmup just before to get you ready, right before redo, hit up 5 burpees, 3 thrusters, 20 dubs as fast as possible….. rest a short bit and redo for 3 total sets… go 95, 115, 135 ; worked for me. Good luck
??
17.5 take 2 with the wife today: Rx 12:24. Big improvement over Friday of 3+ mins. Wife improved by 2 to get 16:21.
Nice comeback!! Well done bro!
17.5 as Rx: 11:25
Open and out.
Well done Invictus crew.
Thanks coaches and CJ great programming and support.
Damn!!!! Got me by 11 seconds!!! Cheers to you. Nice job this year.
Awesome work Chris! I’m taking cues from you next year and resting up in-between Open workouts.
Smoked it. Awesome job!!
15:04 Rx. Went 6/3 on thrusters rounds 1-6. Rounds 7-10 unbroken. Rope malfunction costed me to be under 15:00. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Pretty fun.
Rx’d 12:17. Went out a bit too fast (:45/rds) for the 1st few. Definitely caught up with me on the backend. I was shooting for sub-12. I may give this one another shot Monday…
Nice work Trion – that’s a time to chase.
Thanks man – I’m chasing these guys below me who are posting some ridiculous times. Proud to be associated with this great group of people!
17.5 rx -15:32 came out got had first two rounds in 1:28 it hit the fan quick
17.5 rx’d — 11:36.
Good end to the games this year. Satisfied with all my performances!!
Good work bro! Thanks for giving me something to shoot for! Way to represent the men in blue!
Yeah buddy!! Good luck tonight for your Friday night lights. Kick some ass!!!!
Well done Bob – great Open season.
Thanks man!! It was the most fun this year. Had a very steady set of performances. Gained a lot. Well done yourself!
Rx 20:05 all but 2 rds of thrusters unbroken. DUs didn’t want to play today.
PS- holy smoked shoulders!!
Good luck to everyone today! This one looks like it’ll mutilate you.
Still a gimp, so I did something else friendly to my knee recovery. Considering a thruster is what took out my knee, I’m looking forward to the day I can do one. Or a thousand. Until then…

Dude .. I had a menisectomy a couple years back and my recovery was way slow and long , a big mental battle ..but keep up with what your doing and you will be back stronger !
Awesome! ?

Double under technique absolutely killed me.
Started cross fit in Jan and so happy to have completed my first open . Love the excitement , encouragement and the challenge. Highlighted some serious areas to work on.
Can’t wait until next year.
Good luck to everyone who hasn’t done it. Mental strength and focus needed !
Great job, Ben! Glad you had fun with your first Open!
First year I’ve completed all the open WODS. Thanks everyone for the motivation and programming. I just do this stuff by myself in my school’s weight room (I’m a teacher), so it really helps.
17:02
Way to go Rob! Congratulations on your first completed Open. Not easy alone either.
