Excuse Me, You Dropped Your WOD

Big news on the homefront: my older sister Amanda recently earned her Level 1 certification at Iron Major CrossFit over in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. As such, she's now easing into her programming grove by writing workouts for both Steven and I. I tried this one yesterday:

In 20 minutes, complete as many rounds and reps as possible of:
20 double unders
15 GHD sit ups
10 power cleans @115lbs

I managed to squeeze out 8 rounds plus 31 reps (so 20 double unders and 11 GHD sit ups) in the allotted time. For just getting started with programming, I was really impressed with Amanda's combination of movements and time duration. It was a great workout, better by far than many that I've programmed for myself or others. Go Manda Panda!
