Why?
“Annie” is also a Tribute WOD, dedicated to Annie Sakamoto who, after starting CrossFit in 2004, became a trainer at the first CrossFit gym in Santa Cruz, California.
Sakamoto became famous for her 2005 appearance in a video of a workout that would later be known as “Nasty Girls”. In 2009, she helped team CrossFit West Santa Cruz to a 33rd-place finish at the CrossFit Games before making her individual Games debut in 2011 with a ninth-place finish. She also took home the Spirit of the Games Award that year. In 2012, she took 23rd. She made her first Masters Games appearance in 2016 with a second-place finish in the Masters Women 40-44 Division.
Intended Response
Across the board, there are significantly less reps in the first three rounds than in the final two rounds
* 20 DU/sit-ups total in first round versus 100 DO/situps in the final round
* Rope climbs: 6 reps total in the first 3 rounds and 9 total in the last 2
That being said, let’s try to set ourselves up for a strong final 2 rounds with a controlled first 3 rounds
Move at a smooth, steady pace through each movement with seamless transitions
Break up the double-unders as needed (manageable sets), breathe through the sit-ups, and find a deliberate pace between rope climbs
