26.3 - 3372/4322
Overall - 3231/4931 (35th percentile)
Moving up to 55+, the weights got lighter and the movements easier. 26.1 allowed for box step overs. 26.2 used a 35 rather than 50 pound dumbbell. 26.3 used a 75 pound rather than 95 pound opening barbell.
As far as being accessible and creating separation for the quarterfinals, the programming was excellent. As far as the spirit of the open in terms of exposing holes in athlete's training, challenging athletes with uncommon movements and retesting workouts to demonstrate fitness over time, it was a bit of disappointment. I had a great time and will continue to do the CrossFit Open when I can.
What would it take to get to quarterfinals? 1232nd achieved 254 reps + 112 reps + 148 reps
100th place achieved 252 reps + 118 reps + 199 reps
Anything passed 112 on 26.2 got at least 1 muscle up (644 of 4931 athletes)
