My wife and I are completely addicted to ROMWOD. I haven't done the 45 min version though.

Couldn't agree more. Injuries plagued me doing crossfit over the years, could never make significant progress without getting hurt. Started doing romwod four days a week and it has changed everything

Weird. I've never even noticed his voice.

its just one of those things for me...like nails on a chalkboard

I still do the wods because they are awesome, but I typically turn the volume way down and just play other music

Hmm...Custom TexAgs Leaderboard?

---

I meant to respond to this the other day, but this sounds fun. I'll put together a Google sheet later today and post the link when done.

---

Link added in OP to make it easy to find as this thread progresses.

Also linked here: 2017 CrossFit Open_TexAgs H&F

Please let me know if there are any issues opening/editing. There shouldn't be any restrictions when you access via the link.

Just enter your username/info and score for each workout. I will add/update the ranking after each week.

I just added myself to the spreadsheet. Thanks for setting that up by the way!

I think there's a way you can create a custom board on the actual leaderboard website. Seem's like I did something like that with some friends from other gyms last year. Obviously, you'd have to know everyone's name so this may be a more preferred method for some on here.

Thanks again and good luck to everyone! In the end, we're all going against ourselves trying to be better than we were yesterday.

Yeah, my reason for setting it up in Google was two-fold:

1. It allows people to keep some semblance of anonymity, if preferred.
2. CF doesn't allow custom leaderboards this year.

Neither of us will qualify...

Best of luck to all!

How is 150 DB snatches up anyone's ally? We're not going to be able to lift our arms and our quads may fall off.

in the sense that its a motor workout with moderately heavy weight versus an "establish a heavy clean & jerk" type of thing.

Salty

I ***** about every workout. Interested to see how we all fair tomorrow. I'll be doing it at 5am

good luck! Interested to watch ro vs boz to see the difference in time. I assume I won't finish. Those 4th and 5th sets are going to be brutal.

Look at how badly their legs hurt. Hahaha, I have a fence to finish building tomorrow.

ha yea the 3rd and 4th fittest men on earth are rolling around in complete and miserable pain. This one is going to hurt.

I didn't get to watch. Did they finish and if so what times?

11:52 and 12:26 I think

My wife who doesn't do crossfit just watched and said "That's not bad, I could do that"...now she's mad at me

I predict this will be the "easiest" of all 2017 open wods. I was really terrified of double db thrusters (they may still happen). This is one you have to pace. I firmly believe that. Just finishing it is my goal.

Agree. 50 lbs is pretty damn heavy for me. I'll be doing it at 5:30 am, and going for Rx. I doubt I will beat the time cap, so I'm just going to pace it out and try to keep moving.

Just keep moving and breathe through the bbjo

The crux of this wod will be the bbjo, at least for me.

Take a look at the official standards. Pretty strict.

As, I'm sure, the least strong person on this thread...

18:09 scaled.

Almost died.

160 reps scaled.

Took a too-aggressive pace with the burpees early and fell apart on my cardio at about 14:00.

17:21 RX

The Burpees are a breeze. Just keep a steady pace.

Those snatches tho.. fml, my back is in a bind. Started the round of 50 at 11:20 and could barely string any together after that.

188 reps, Rx

I'm fairly happy with that. I wanted to get into the 50 snatch set, and was able to. I don't think I could improve enough to make it into the 15 burpee final if I tried again.

We did have one guy hit 224 Rx. That sucked for him.
