Anyone feel like this was the toughest open in it's existence?

9:13 Scaled. All unbroken. Admittedly, the scaled weight was really light, I just wish I could do double unders.

I skipped 17.5. 17.4 did a number on my lower back... Does anyone have a recommendation for a belt?
I'm definitely in worse shape this year than last, and it pisses me off. Serious lack of effort (attendance) for the past six months. I'm now incredibly motivated to get back in the gym and get back in fighting shape. Not an excuse, but it's crazy the amount of time that young kids consume.
My Open performance this year was pathetic and eye opening. In that sense, the Open is beneficial for tracking how much you have improved, but also how much you haven't. Next year...
I feel your pain. prolly jumped about 1500 times that night.RedlineAg08 said:

Hit the Jesus WOD today. I recommend it for those of you who have not done it. It is BRUTAL.
"The Jesus WOD is done as a means of aligning Christian beliefs physically, mentally, and spiritually. It is not intended to grandstand an athlete's ability it is not designed to "measure-up" to what Jesus encountered in His crucifixion it is not a typical CrossFit workout and it IS NOT REQUIRED.
The Jesus WOD is particularly brutal. Some participants have been able to finish it as prescribed; others have found that they had to scale-down the weight as the workout wore-on; all participants have found that it helps them better grasp the amount of suffering Jesus endured. PLEASE BE WARNED: this workout perhaps more than any other CrossFit workout taxes most athletes beyond their limits mentally and physically. SEVERAL have reported needing a day or two to heal-up after it is all said and done.
Here is the workout as prescribed
14 rounds for time of:
10 deadlifts (95/65)
10 squat cleans (95/65)
10 push-press (95/65)
50 ft of walking lunges with barbell on back + walk back to starting point
Athletes may only "de-load" the barbell from their control during rounds 3, 7, and 9. As these three rounds are completed, the athlete must place the barbell on the ground, pick-up a kettlebell (53/35), and complete 7 Turkish get-ups (for a total of 21 TGUs across the three rounds).
The workout represents the 14 Stations of the Cross and the three time Jesus fell to the ground.
[ol]Jesus is condemned to death Jesus carries his cross Jesus falls the first time Jesus meets his mother Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus carry the cross Veronica wipes the face of Jesus Jesus falls the second time Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem Jesus falls the third time Jesus is stripped of his garments Crucifixion: Jesus is nailed to the cross Jesus dies on the cross Jesus is taken down from the cross Jesus is laid in the tomb" [/ol]
We did this as a partner WOD because doing it by yourself it literally the worst thing ever- even worse than 20lb weighted Murph.
My buddy and I were 39:01 RX. My grip started to fail on me at round 9, so I technically did not complete the workout RX since I put the bar down. Props to any of you who can do the whole thing with a partner an still not put the bar down between the two of you except during turkish get ups.
