First off great event - Well planned, well organized and well executed!  I had gone into not knowing whether I would be able to do anything because my upper back was a bit messed up from TGU's and not knowing whether the team would have any events open.  I also made a last minute petition and got Susie in as well which made it more fun.

I ended up doing a lot more than I expected:

1. Max UB Pullups - Felt great just moving through them and thinking I could easily get 48. Not sure what happened as I went from fine to no grip and dropped off at 44.  Oh well
2. Floater -Teamed up with Eli on this one.  First round felt great. 2nd round it got a lot harder.  This really took a lot out of me.  Felt just like I did after the Norcal master events with running and KBS.
3. Susie and I teamed up on the burpee and wall ball wod. Short and fun
4. Oh My Hardio - Did the first 100 Dubs.  Shoe came untied on jump 1 - managed 65 UB with a shoe lace hitting the rope every time.  Our team did well even though I messed up
5. Ice man - Did Bar MU's - got 12 or 13 in 2 sets
6. Teamed up with Dougie and Jim and we did DLs @225 - did sets of 5 or 7

Coach Munchbachs Post Game Analysis
Team Qatar,
Thank you very much for the fun today!
I could not have been more pleased with everyone's efforts, patience, and participation.

Just as a quick recap...

• Cami T. – PR on unbroken pull-ups! Cami is nursing an ankle injury and was a great teammate today as most of the events were ankle prohibitive.
• Catherine – CLOSING SPEED on the shuttle run and tied a PR in the snatch event.
• Doug – Stayed upside down for 4:30 without passing out; also managed to do 46 HSPU in that time. Competed with John and Jim in the final DL event and put up a huge number... more on that in a bit.
• Ellie – Took a bullet for the team and completed the floater event (and completed her first ever sled push!) which helped us place first in that event!
• Eric K. – PR'ed his 500m row and tackled that gross 5min AMRAP abomination with Nick.
• Jim C. – Was down for anything. Nearly got 100 unbroken double-unders and competed with John & Doug on the deadlift event to lift a total of over 38,500 lbs. in 4 minutes.
• John D. – John did a massive amount of pull-ups, double-unders, and wallballs to help the team. His CrossFit career goes waaaaaaay back, so I'm not sure if he PR'ed, but who cares! It was a Herculean performance.
• Kathryn – Ran the 400m #NoOneLikesRunning and PR'ed her deadlift by 20 lbs.!
• Laura – PR'ed her deadlift by a country mile! Welcome to the 305 club, LC!
• Meghan – PR on her deadlift, did that gross 5 min thing with Nikki, then deadlifted again in the final event.
• Neil – PR on shoulder to overhead and also took a bullet for the team with a 400m run.
• Nick – PR on snatch and conquered the 5 min AMRAP with Eric.
• Nikki – PR on unbroken handstand push-ups and did 50 box jumps in record time; also was subjected to 5 min gross thing with Meg.
• Susie D. – Last minute add-in! Came out hot with a 500m row at 1:46 then held court during the wallball/burpee workout while in a tennis skirt. Two claps for Susie.
• Web – Dominated the 400m and 2x400m running events. PR'ed unbroken pull-ups. Then took another 400m run without complaint. Also did around 20 bar MU to help propel the team to a second place finish in Iceman.

Everyone stepped outside their comfort zone today, did more than they thought possible, and (I hope) had fun.
