CrossFit Open WOD #1

The WOD is 10min AMRAP:
30 Double Under
15 Power Snatch

Rx: Power Snatch--M: 75#/W: 55#

For the women: since the barbell plates are small (5# each), CF rules dictate that the bar only has to pass below the kneecap to count as being grounded.
Double Unders do not have to be consecutive---but you will only be counted on complete reps.
Power Snatches, by CF rules, is getting the bar from ground to overhead ANY WAY POSSIBLE, with the arms locked out at the top. Given this is a crappy way to lift, we will still help with form---but still count all completed reps (under CF rules). Also, there will be no need to scale this amount of weight---everyone can do this Rx weight (barring Tara, who is still recovering from surgery).
Each rep will be counted singularly (45 reps per round)---so our number should be large.
I have an official CF Open scorecard for Mary (or myself) to fill out for each athlete.
Good luck, I know everyone will do GREAT on this.
Let me know if you have any questions.
