Hello again everyone,
So tomorrow the 14.2 open WOD is announced and just like last week it is time to speculate (& inevitably be wrong) on what it will be.
What so I think?
If I was going to put money down I would guess that the next thing we see is a triplet of movements with a lengthy time frame, an AMRAP. I believe it is too early for Crossfit HQ to up the weight similar to what they did in 13.1 with the Snatch/Burpee ladder. The topic of inclusiveness that we discussed has to continue in to week two. HQ needs another workout that allows everyone to score but allows the top athletes to pull away. This is not to say that the weight won’t go up in Weeks 3-5. I am sure we will see a Clean and Jerk / Burpee ladder. I also think we will see a workout that was a high rep requirement with multiple exercises that increase in technical difficulty and only allow the top athletes to progress through ie. 13.2. That time is not now though my friends. Along with maintaining inclusiveness, we will see something different. As in, we will not see a repeat of a WOD. HQ needs to keep us interested and they can’t keep using the same BS of repeating past Open WODs to “see how far we’ve come.”
Now the prediction….
18min AMRAP
5 Deadlifts at 225# for men
10 Pull ups
15 Box Jumps
What do you think it will be?
