Are you ready for some football?

CrossFit Football game
  • Touchdown (6pt): 80 Squats, 40 Kettlebell Swings, 30 Pull-Ups, 20 Burpees
  • Convert after TD (1pt): 50 Double-Unders (or 125 Single-Unders) 
  • Field Goal (3pt): 20 DB Thrusters (2x45lb), 30 Sit-ups, 20 Box Jumps (20″)
Two 15 minute halves with 3 minute half-time. Work is divided between teams of 2, only one person works at a time. Skipping is not divided, both must complete.
 I teamed with Nathan (Team name: "Nat-Ty By Nature") and we split the work evenly. 
First half: FG, TD, FG, FG = 16
Second half: four FGs = 12 
Total score 28
We were three box jumps away from another field goal.  We barely fell short, just like the Riders. 
I think the best strategy for this is to go for field goals.  The DB thrusters do suck total donkey scrotum, but you and your partner can do alternating sets of 5 and that makes it bearable. 
You might want to do one TD when you're fresh, but when you're tired, those double unders will be a total time-killer unless you and your partner are total DU ninjas. 
I had done a slightly easier version of this before and scored a 26... but it sounds like I was a bit hungover at the time.
