40.1

What an awesome weekend!!!! You guys were able to capitalize on your skills and strategy and all the OKC scorers were able to stay one and done. As of now, we moved up 5 spots and are 5 spots out from qualifying. With at least 3 more scored WODs in our future, we are in a great spot.

The way it looks right now is that it is gonna continue to be a team battle to the end. 8 more reps would have brought us up one place point on the leaderboard. One place point seems like nothing now… but when 15.5 comes to a close, it may be one place point that keeps us from a trip to Mini-Soda. Some of you might think that it’s no big deal, but I believe that the Regional environment will be a great way for our new OKC squad to mature together.

I feel as if we have seen more growth in OKC athletes as they prepare for the Regional competition than we have anywhere else. I told/asked some of you not to redo the WOD because I felt it would be detrimental to the rest of your Open. Those of you who trusted the strategy, those of you who maximized your potential, who tore your hands and broke you nose, and those of you who repeated the WOD trying to move OKC up the leaderboard, you guys are the heroes of the week. Please, if you aren’t planning to do the WOD twice… change your mind. I know you don’t believe me, but you are the difference makers.

Example 1: 23 pounds (less than 4 lbs per person) last week was the difference between our 53^rd place and Complete’s 41^st…12 place points and our current place on the overall leaderboard would have been 19^th.

Example 2 : 41 lbs (6.8 pounds per person) was the difference between 53rd and 29^th, and our current overall place would have been 16^th overall.

I am not crying over spilt milk or trying to play [Tuesday] morning quarterback. I am also not trying to make your head explode because of cliché overload. I am trying to say every rep or pound counts and matters. I can’t see the future, but I envision another multiscore WOD is coming in one, two or three weeks.

I am so proud of this OKC Squad. Fighting with the Misfits last year has prepared you to fight together again this year. I am predicting a grunt work grinder this week. A “throw caution and skill to the wind” type WOD. I will post the remaining “Open movements” and my WOD predictions to the Group. Meanwhile, here is your extra Work.
