Crossfit Open - 18.2

[fasho#1]

Anyone on here competing in the crossfit open? It’s my first time doing it and I’m not really in the best shape at the moment but I’m working on it.

I scaled 18.1 but decided to go ahead and try to RX 18.2. I ended up not getting to the bar for my clean. I ended up with 101 reps out of 110 (9 burpees short).

Would it best to try 18.2 again but scaled this time ( for completion) or to just leave it alone and stay with my RX score. I’ve been told that anything RX is better than anything scaled but it seems to me, like that’s only if you ‘completed’ the workout? Technically i didn’t complete 18.2. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

You did complete the workout. 1 rep RX will rank you higher than 300 reps scaled. It doesn't matter really since you have already scaled 18.1. Just enjoy the experience. It's a fun event. Track you percentiles this year and your goal will be to improve them next year. That's really what it's all about

So i don’t have to do all 110 to ‘complete’ it? Thanks for responding. I appreciate it.

Yeah, i figured since i scaled 18.1 i was going to be under scaled grouping. Wanted a challenge and decided to try and RX 18.2.

Can someone translate what 18.2 scale and RX be?

Correct. You can post a score for a workout regardless of how many reps you complete.

I tried to do AMRAP of the WOD for EMOM, but I couldn't figure my 1RM. I guess I'm SOL and will STFU now.
