I took on double-unders for a 6-week challenge as they were one of my weaknesses in CrossFit; I could barely string together 2-3. Result? Got 47 unbroken today! W00t!

Double-unders are one of my "goats", so it's time to do something about it! Current: Can get about 10 SUDU in a row on a good day. Goal: 10 unbroken double-unders. Scoring: At the end of the quest, I will have 5 chances to get a maximal set of double-unders. For the maximal set, 5 points for each successful DU. This goal is worth 50 points, so more than 10 unbroken DU is extra credit. Related Goals: Supporting goal: at least 10 minutes of DU practice or 100 DU every week. This goal is worth 10 points each week, and DU during a WOD count, provided they are done as consecutive DU and not as SUDU.Supporting life goals: continue to eat right, keep my weight below 175, continue to train 4-5x / week. These are now part of my baseline and thus aren't worth extra points.Life goals: do each CrossFit Open workout RX. This goal is worth 5 points each week.Grading: points will be totaled and divided by 140, the total number of available points. A+ -- over 100%A -- 91-100%B -- 81-90%etc.Attribute points awarded at the end of this challenge will be primarily allocated to: DEXterity (technical ability to do DU)STAmina (metabolic conditioning involved)CONstitution (for perseverance)CHArisma (cool factor)WISdom is available if I meet my supporting life goals.This challenge isn't eligible for STRength points.

I completed my very first (and second) double-under on Saturday during my skipping workout!!!! Still working towards consecutive..... but I got that rope under! WOOOT!
