Here is the Workout! I completed it with the mini band for the pull-ups

My thoughts: This was my first crossfit competition. I have to say that the added "nerves" and adrenaline were useful for the prowler push and that's about all. For movements requiring more control, the access energy was counterproductive. I found myself almost hyperventilating after my box jumps in anticipation of doing more pull-ups. The rules for pull-ups were very strict and I think the standard of perfection really added to the pressure. I had a lot of fun, but I'm going to have to learn how to calm down next time.

Here are a few photos of the very hardy meals I at this past weekend... notice that bacon is a theme
