Still getting over a cold, I did not have high hopes for this one.  However, I was pleasantly surprised.  I went out at what should have been a really good pace, but it quickly gassed me.  I slowed down and finished 42 reps at roughly 7:30.  I got through the next round of snatches and then 16 burpees for a score of 79.  I was well shy of finishing the workout, but probably only left 20 reps on the table due to the cold.  It was a nice way to start off the Open season.

My chest actually felt really good afterwards, so some heavy breathing went a long way towards clearing out my chest.

Gear:  Nike Metcons, elbow sleeves, wrist wraps

For training, the 35 or even 25 pound dumbbell would have been a better fit.  For testing the 50 pound dumbbell was manageable.  I expect most folks should be able to finish this one within the time cap.
