2024 CrossFit Games OPEN 24.2 - Tied the GOAT of Male 45-49 @JasonGrubb w/ 750 reps!!

24.2 is here, and it is a DOOZY!
I thought I could hold a 2:15 pace per round which would give me the final 2 minutes (from 18-20) to knock out as much of the 9th round as possible. Ends up my brain believed I was fitter than my body this morning! hahaha. Was a great/fun fight to keep going!!
Again, my goal is to earn a qualifying spot to the 2024 Masters CrossFit Games in Birmingham, AL on Labor Day Weekend. The path is:
OPEN - finish in the top 25% of the M45-49 field
QUARTERFINAL - finish in the top 200 of the M45-49 field
SEMIFINAL - finish in the top 40 of the M45-49 field
GAMES - fingers crossed, ENJOY the expereince!
CrossFit Games OPEN test 24.2 is:
20 min AMRAP:
300m row
10 deadlifts at 185lbs
50 double unders
Completed 750 reps (8 full rounds plus the 300m row in the 9th)

I don't understand wrist wraps on this workout, but they clearly did something to knock it out like this.

Hi Jay, thanks for watching! I tend to sweat quite a bit, so I like to wear sweat bands during workouts to keep my hands a bit more dry. Hope you’re having a great weekend!

Nice work John! How did you pace the row?

He said it right there in his intro! Plus it's there in the video description.

Thank you Mike! My goal was to pull a 1:55 pace. Was just under 1:50 on the first round (legitimately tried to go slower, but that was it!). Settled in to pulling 156-158 the first 4-5 pulls, but got it down to 152-154 most of the time. I did “sprint” the final 300m cause I really wanted to finish that. Pace for that was 136-138.
