So firstly, let’s remind ourselves of what CrossFit Open Workout 18.2 is:
The first part is 18.2.

The second part is 18.2.

Use the remaining time from the 12 minutes to establish a 1RM Clean
18.2
Noah was the first to finish 18.2. As a shorter athlete he had a faster squat. Pat Vellner performed his burpees at a quicker pace however a late no rep on the burpees cost him time and allowed Noah to take the win for the first section on the WOD. Pat’s advice afterwards was candid and concise:
“You can go always go faster on the burpees, you just don’t want to”
18.2A
After giving themselves a minute to let their heart rate drop, both athletes started with a 220 lb Clean. They then moved to 275 and completed that lift with ease as well. The remaining lifts went as follows.
- Noah fails 300
- Pat hits 305
- Noah hits 301
- Pat fails 325
- Pat hits 325
- Noah hits 311
Pat Vellner wins 18.2A.
It is interesting to note that both athletes started with about 60% of their 1rm, so this can be worth thinking about for your own performance.
