Notes
Please be sure to watch the 13.3 Demo for full details.
This workout begins from the standing position with the medicine ball on the floor and the Athlete standing tall. Using an additional ball, box or other object to check for proper depth is not allowed. If the ball is not caught between reps, it must come to a full stop on the ground. Bouncing the ball off the floor is not permitted.
Every rep counts in this workout. Credit will be given for partially completed rounds. You will enter your result by the total number of reps completed.

13.3- Done on Wednesday
Sharing this from 2008 Crossfit Games Champ Jason Khalipa
So 13.3 is finished for me. I scored 8 reps better than last year with a score of 305. Overall I am happy, wish I would have done just a tad better. Who wouldn’t? Everyone always wants to do better…right?
Quick Note:
Don’t become obsessed with your game plan. Having a game plan is a great idea. However if you become too strict on it, it never works. You always need to allow yourself an opportunity to switch things up on the fly. Some people say you should do “x.” Well hell they don’t know how I feel after 150 wall balls….I don’t even know that. As a result….have a big goal “beat my last score” and then have smaller goals built in. An example would be: finish karen in under 6 minutes or get 1 muscle up. This way even if you don’t beat your previous score or accomplish your big goal, you can still walk away feeling as if you accomplished something.
to summarize….allow yourself the ability to switch things up on the fly….listen to your body. Ultimately if you ever want to compete at the CrossFit Games you need to learn how to do this. Unfortunately we don’t have a week to analyze a workout, you probably have 10 minutes.

Ok, this isnt great, but, it is a start,. I never made it out of wall-balls, for the 13.3. I was 6 away from finishing. It did suck,,,,but, next time will be better.

I want to reply to a lot of these posts. First things first:
150 reps. 11:44
I was not thrilled with my performance. Thank you, Brandi and Belmer, for talking me down from my frustration. I wanted to get to the DU’s, but it didn’t happen today.
I wish I would’ve read that post from Khalipa before today. Next week I will do my best and not come in with expectations.
Nice job, Brandi. Truly. Strong work.
Lastly, to my little (and more athletic sister) way to beat me. First time and surely there will be many more to come. I’ll enjoy my headstart for as long as I can!
I’m looking forward to seeing you compete in the future!
Oh, and Kyle D. – impressive.
