105 Consecutive Double Unders (Death by Double Unders)

Well, cross one goal off the list. I had originally planned to have “break 100 consecutive double unders” as one of my 2009 goals. I had decided to get on the ball and accomplish this one before the end of 2008. Since my previous PR was just over 90, this was some fairly low hanging fruit for me (I should really have made it “break 200 double unders”).

The secret of being able to work up to some high numbers when it comes to double unders is to keep the jump low – get the rope fast under you twice rather than trying to clear a fence in a tuck jump.

Another “secret” is to keep breathing. This is something that I failed to do and at around the 105 mark, I started almost blacking out. Hence the face plant at the end of the vid… doh…
