"Annie"

Wednesday’s benchmark WOD is “Annie” – a quick couplet of doubleunders and sit-ups.  There’s not really much to say about this WOD – if you’re good at doubleunders, shop it’s about staying unbroken and really pushing on the sit-ups – especially in the set of 40 and 30.  If you are good at DU, order they are a break from the sit-ups.
If you don’t have doubleunders, or have a tough time stringing them together, you’re basically fighting the rope for the duration of the WOD.  I recommend scaling DU attempts to 20-15-10-5-5 and keeping the sit-ups the same.  If DU are an absolute mystery, or you are new to CrossFit, double the count and do singes – 100, 80, 60, 40, 20.
As we have a lot of new faces – look into getting a jump rope.  You want it sized to your height.  A good rope can run anywhere from $10 to more than $40.  I hear they are selling decent ropes at Dick’s now.  Look at different ropes, ask what people prefer and get a good rope.

Speal anchors his feet – you may anchor as well.  Can anyone beat Speal?
