Kie's prediction for the Crossfit Open 2012

This is just a prediction for fun

*** Post 2012 Open Update ***
Updated with actual WODs and comments

Prediction Workout 12.1
10 min AMRAP of:
15 toes to bar
25 push-ups
35 box jumps

Equivalent Workout 12.3
Complete as many rounds as possible in 18 mins of:
15 Box Jumps, 24/20 in
12 Push Press, 115/75 lbs
9 Toes To Bars


Comment: My 12.1 and the actual 12.3 are fairly close.

Prediction Workout 12.2
15 min AMRAP of:
10 one arm dumbbell snatch
20 kettlebell swings 1.5 pood

Equivalent 12.1
As many reps as possible in 7 mins of:
Burpee

This workout begins from the standing position. The Athlete will move from flat on the ground to touching an object with both hands that is 6 inches above their max reach. Score is total reps completed in 7 minutes.


Comment: Nobody saw that coming, totally different from anything I predicted.

Prediction Workout 12.3
5min AMRAP of:
Snatch 60kg

Equivalent Actual Workout 12.2
Proceed through the sequence below completing as many reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
30 Snatch (M 75 / F 45 lbs)
30 Snatch (M 135 / F 75 lbs)
30 Snatch (M 165 / F 100 lbs)
Max Rep Snatch (M 210 / F 120 lbs)

Comment: Similar on the sticking snatch weight, glad I trained heavy on snatches.


Prediction Workout 12.4
10min AMRAP of:
100 double unders
30 overhead squat 50kg
10 muscle ups

Equivalent Actual Workout 12.4
12.4 record: 148, 240
Complete as many rounds as possible in 12 mins of:
150 Wall Balls, 20/14 lbs, 10/9 ft
90 Double Unders
30 Muscle Ups


Comment: So I was right that there would be a similar hard trek with the best getting to muscle ups to separate themselves from the pack. The actual 12.4 is a much cooler WOD than my prediction.
Prediction Workout 12.5
20min AMRAP of:
10 pull-ups
10 wall balls
10 plyo-push-ups
10 Jumping alternating lunges
10 double unders

Equivalent 12.5 record: 39, 48
Complete as many rounds as possible in 7 mins of:
3 Thrusters, 100 lbs
3 Pull Up (Chest To Bar)s
6....

Comment: Yeah, cool to compare to last year. I was way out with a final chipper style AMRAP. Is that an oxymoron?

Conclusion

I'd say 
prediction 12.1 maps to actual 12.3, 
prediction 12.4 maps to actual 12.4 and 
prediction 12.3 maps to actual 12.2

Not bad for a first try , looking forward to 2013 to try again.
