15 min AMRAP
15 power snatches 55#
30 DU

first attempt: 5+2
second attempt: 6

Notes: This was a repeat of the Week 1 Open WOD from last year. I didn't look back at my score, because I didn't want a number in my head. My arms were very sore. I'm not sure from what. Even though it was a light weight the snatches were painful starting in round one. I broke it up into 10-5, but had to break it to 5, 5, 5 for the rest of the rounds. On round 2 it took about 4 attempts before I could get my first double under. I pretty much gave up at that point. I finished the workout but didn't push myself. I wasn't out of breath at all at the end of the 10 minutes. I ended up getting 5 +2. When I looked back at last year I actually did better than my first attempt. My first attempt last year I got 4+36. My second attempt was 5+36. In the open the double unders were first. After about 20 minutes my arms were feeling a little better, so I decided to give it another go. This time I did the double unders, first. I broke the snatches up into 5, 5, 5 from the beginning and they felt much better. I got 6 rounds even. I was pretty happy with this, but I still think I could do better.
