I rested Friday and Saturday. As I knew Jeff would be completing the workout today, well, I waited until today. My one and only goal was to make it to Round 2.

Uhm, I probably shouldn’t have had that big-assed kale salad for lunch. Or that beer. Ha!

I began by completing 20 & then 5 unbroken toes to bar followed by 50 unbroken double unders. This took me a little over 90 seconds. And then it took me almost all of the remaining time to complete 15, 135# cleans — but I did so, completing the 15th rep at 3:55. I immediately began toes to bar, completing as many as 7 unbroken reps but quite a few singles. However, I always completed at least 3 reps before dropping from the bar. Another 50 unbroken double unders. The clock read 6:00, leaving me 2 full minutes to complete just 1 clean at 185#. Uhm, given that 175# is my current 1RM, I knew that this wasn’t going to happen. I nonetheless attempted at least a dozen times.

Score = 165

As I hadn’t broken out into a sweat, I persuaded Jeff to keep score as I completed 16.2 Scaled.

CrossFit Games Open 16.2 Scaled (AMRAP – Reps)

4-Minute AMRAP + Bonus Time of:
25 Hanging Knee Raises
50 Single Unders
Squat Cleans*

*Round 1 – 15 @ 95# 
*Round 2 – 13 @ 115# 
*Round 3 – 11 @ 135# 
*Round 4 – 9 @ 155# 
*Round 5 – 7 @ 185# 

Time extends by 4-minutes when completing a round. If you complete Round 5, your score is the time you finish.

This wasn’t nearly as difficult. Imagine that! I completed all rounds of hanging knee raises and single unders in unbroken reps.

Clock
Round 1 | 2:19
Round 2 | 5:21
Round 3 | 9:00
Round 4 | 13:07

I completed Round 5 hanging knee raises and single unders when the clock read 14:30. That allowed 6:30 to complete a single clean @ 185#. And I did not. In my defense, I was rather tired.

Totals for the day:
50 toes to bar
125 hanging knees raises
100 double unders
250 single unders
15 cleans @ 95
13 cleans @ 115
27 cleans @ 135#
9 cleans @ 155@#

Uhm, that’s 64 cleans.
