February 28 WOD: Open 14.1

The Open is upon us! After the live announcement by Dave Castro, Garrett Fisher and Marcus Hendren went head to head to do this:

So 14.1 turns out to be another repeat as it was the first Open workout last 2011, the first year Rich Froning won. He got a score of 448 that year, and surprisingly, neither Fisher nor Hendren was able to beat Froning 2011. That just shows how crazy good he already was at that time.

Anyway, the 10 am class was the first to do the workout at the box. Since I'm not registered for the Manila Throwdown, I scaled and used 45# instead of the prescribed 55#.


My score: 3 rounds + 16 DUs, or 151 reps (45#)
