Crossfit Open 2014 – summary
So this is it. Another year of CF Open is over.
5 WODs in 5 weeks:
WOD 1: WOMEN – includes Masters Women up to 54 years old
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
30 double-unders
55-lb. power snatches, 15 reps
My score was 292 (6R + 22 DUs)
WOD 2: Every 3 minutes for as long as possible complete:
From 0:00-3:00

10 overhead squats
10 chest-to-bar pull-ups
From 3:00-6:00

12 chest-to-bar pull-ups
continue this pattern every three minutes (increments of 2 reps)
WOMEN – includes Masters Women up to 54 years old
65-lb. overhead squats
Chest-to-bar pull-ups
I have only managed to get through 35 reps as on the day of the announcement I have managed to injure my thigh and even getting into partial squat caused me agonising pain. I let it rest and did the WOD on Monday but still even 30kg OHS were pain.
WOD 3: WOMEN – includes Masters Women up to 54 years old
Complete as many reps as possible in 8 minutes of:
95-lb. deadlifts, 10 reps
15 box jumps, 20-inch
135-lb. deadlifts, 15 reps
15 box jumps, 20-inch
155-lb. deadlifts, 20 reps
15 box jumps, 20-inch
185-lb. deadlifts, 25 reps
15 box jumps, 20-inch
205-lb. deadlifts, 30 reps
15 box jumps, 20-inch
225-lb. deadlifts, 35 reps
15 box jumps, 20-inch
I have managed 133 reps with 3 reps at the 205lbs (95kg) weight before I ran out of time. For next few days my back didn’t thank me for this WOD 
WOD 4: WOMEN – includes Masters Women up to 54 years old
Complete as many rounds and repetitions as possible in 14 minutes of:
60-calorie row
50 toes-to-bars
40 wall-ball shots, 14 lb. to 9-foot target
30 cleans, 95 lb.
20 muscle-ups
I have managed 180 reps in 13:47 and have found my biggest weakness in toes to bar. Took me about 6-7mins to get through those 😦
WOD 5: WOMEN – includes Masters Women up to 54 years old
21-18-15-12-9-6-3 reps for time of:
65-lb. thrusters
Bar facing burpees
Not my favourite one. Did it in 13:45 and wanted to give up after about 2mins. But thankfully I didn’t. Happy with me result. Managed thrusters in 21, 10+8, 10+5, 12, 9, 6, 3 and paced myself by stepping in and out of the burpees.
Here is how I’ve places among other girls from CrossFit London UK:
So second year in running I got the top spot. But that doesn’t mean anything if compared to other girls in Europe and worldwide.
Last year I’ve finished 275th in Europe and 4697th worldwide. This year 468th in Europe and 7553 worldwide. There are more and more girls signing up so it is definitely not easy to make your mark. Now off to practice those skills and efficiency that I am lacking.
