10/6 "Jack"

"Jack"
Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes:
10 Push jerks 115#
10 Kettlebell swings 53#
10 Box jumps 24"

Sadly, another hero WOD for a recently deceased member of our country's armed forces.  They spill blood in our defense and we drip sweat in their honor.  Hardly an even trade.
Our good friend and part-time CFWC member (and full-time CrossFit Bloomington-Normal member) Katie B. was in town for her brother's wedding and stopped in for the WOD.  Katie is a beast and provided a good push for yours truly.  After 20 minutes of fun I'd completed 11 rounds and 2 push jerks.  Katie blew through the push jerks every round and ended up with 10 rounds and change.
Not particularly satisfied with this.  Generally, AMRAPs are not my cup of tea.  I'm not sure if it's the actual longer duration or the lack of an end goal (think 21-15-9 or 3 rounds for time, etc).  In either case, I certainly lack keen focus on these types of WODs, and this must be addressed.  The cure, of course, is to do more of them.  This notion thrills me no end.
