Crossfit Armoury - March 9, 2018: My CF Open 18.3

My Crossfit Open 18.3 score - Scaled

Thoughts:
It always bites me, and you would think I would learn/figure out how to do Double unders.  This Asian doesn't have rhythm and my legs doesn't like to jump high enough, long enough to string more than 1 double under at a time.  Probably why I like lifting, stable platform (think tree trunk planted to the ground).  Anyways, since Rx'd calls for double unders; I had to do this workout as Scale.    

The second thing that bites me is the lack of/ability to do chin over bar pull-ups. I can string one or two in a row with strict pull-ups if my arms and shoulder are fresh.  After some other load, no so much.   I was able to get one chin over bar pull-up and then spent the next 8 plus minutes trying to get another one.  

Another disappointment moment in myself; should had stuck to doing a few more gymnastic classes.   Sometimes, I wonder if I should change the direction of my training.  Other times, I ask myself why did I do the Open?   If anything, this will either propell me back to doing more crossfit, or have me switch over to dedicating my time with just Olympic lifting.

I always find that Crossfit will always find your weakness, if you didn't already know.  It will always showcases the areas you are weak in.   You always have a choice of improving yourself or be happy with your weakness.
