Starting to get up there in the numbers now. Missing a day is getting a bit daunting… and what did I do on Sat? Missed it :-( So I should have done 2485 by the end of the week, but instead only got up to 2415 burpees.

This week included me finally getting back to the gym again and the start of the Crossfit Games Open. And wouldn’t you know it, the first workout was burpees. So with the completion of the Open WOD 12.1 on Sat, it brings me to 1596 burpees (plus an extra 15 from Open WOD which don’t really count towards the challenge).

| * CrossFit Games Open WOD 12.1 | ||
The games have officially begun! Since it was the first workout of the games and I’m part of the Santa Clara team, I figured I should do the WOD there even though Mt. View is closer to home. So Sat morning, had my espresso and headed down for some burpees….
Open WOD 12.1:
As many reps in 7 minutes of burpees (with a 6″ target for jump).
Results:
71 (with 2 no-rep)
In the range I expected (70-80), but was hoping to get 75. If it wasn’t for the no-reps, I probably could have made 75. But still it was good and I was DONE afterwards, so way was going to try it a 2nd time (or 3rd as some folks did). I guess I’m not quite as recovered from my cold, as my lunge where burning for a good part of the day with some nice deep raspy coughs.
Oh, and this included 56 burpees towards the burpee challenge :-)
So missed a day this week, but still not too bad yet… End of week total: 1225 burpees.

40 burpees at the office = 2:38
First time doing them for time, man was I done afterwards and sucking air. I obviously haven’t been putting in enough effort on these so far…
Another week of burpees done, total so far… 630.

I’ve been sick this past week, so I’m still not doing the burpees very fast. Wake up, do 10 burpees, hack up a lung, do 10 more, hack up another lung, etc… However, what I have been doing is slowing them down and hit all the check points, like doing an actual push up (down-up) rather than just dropping to the floor. If I’m gonna go slow, I might as well take advantage of it!
No days missed again! Total at the end of the week… 231 burpees.

I hear some of my other co-workers decided to join in and started catching up by doing burpees on the beach in Hawaii… I’m not sure if I believe them or not ;-P
