50 Burpees - What's your time?

[Doug Blankenship]

Sounds like fun, I have not tried this in a long time. Since I have to wait eight more hours to do this, I'm just curious what kind of times some of you are pulling off when you do this WOD?

I will post my time tomorrow as soon as I get done.

This ones is a real lung burner as are all the WODs that look simple on paper.
Good luck later Doug, plus take a look at comments on the main page, most people post there times there.

Over double that, at 7:22. Hadn't really done a burpee workout before, so probably took it easier than I needed to (many breaks) but still pretty gassed at the end. Ah well; better next time.

Did the first 10 pretty quickly, then did 5 at a time with a short breather in between until I hit 50.

FWIW: 44/male/180lbs

Never done 50 - but we did a WOD at our affiliate of 150 Burpees for time a couple weeks ago, and I finished in appx 12:40.

good luck and have fun!

The Good News

• Today I set a PR for 50 burpees!

The Bad News

• The PR was 12:02

Today was the first time I had ever done even a single burpee, so doing 50 of them as rx'd (which I did do) was harsh. My movement is also presently severely hampered by some sort of rib-area injury that I sustained during Wednesday's thrusters. Without the injury, my time still would have suuuuuuccccked, but it probably would have been at least four minutes faster. I had to stop many times just to shake off the pain, even though my wind & strength were holding out okay. I'm new to CF and in horrible shape, but I still toughed it out today.

Nice! It takes me over 15 minutes just to do 100.

Mark - pretty awesome job for never having done a burpee before. The first few aren't too bad, but they sure catch up with you.

I appreciate the compliment, Win. Thanks.

It's sorta bittersweet for me. On the one hand, I did 50 when I had never done even one before, and I did it when I just as easily could have blown it off due to the rib problem. On the other hand, I was an elite athlete in several sports as a teenager (back in the Dark Ages), and I know that I have somewhere deep inside me the ability to do this sort of thing in about 5-6 minutes. I just gotta keep plugging away until my health improves and my times start to fall.

Cheers, and thanks again!

Looks like I'm the leader

First week on CrossFit. My first WOD was 080430.

Never done Burpees before, but I can see where the name comes from.
