When I performed 17.1 on February 24, 2017 at West Metro Crossfit (now West Metro Strength and Conditioning) I completed 129 reps.  My tie breaker splits were:

Round 1:   3:26

Round 2:   8:43

Round 3:  16:15

For 21.2 I completed 117 reps in my garage.  My tie breaker splits were:

Round 1:  3:47

Round 2:  9:59

Round 3: 18:09

It was an unpleasant surprise, but that is why we test and retest.  I felt like I was moving slow but smooth through the movements.  I certainly did not feel like I was 2 minutes behind my original pacing, although four years is a long time.  24 DB snatches in the last 3:45, is a pretty good pace.  This year it was 12 DB snatches in the last 1:51.  I would like to think a group environment provides a little more motivation than my surly teenager who was kind enough to judge me.

I was also surprised at how long 20 minutes can feel when you are staring at the 50# dumbbell.  I am really glad that I had a rubber coated dumbbell instead of my adjustable dumbbells.

I wore knee sleeves and elbow sleeves, but did not bother with wrist wraps.
