13.4 It's either 'Fran'ish, leftovers or a big fat combo - my predictions

WHAT are they doing to us? It seems The Crossfit Games Open WODs have almost been complete repeats from previous years. Let’s look at the pattern so far, find out what we’re missing and I’ll predict 13.4.
That's me during WOD 1

So far in 2013
All AMRAPS and all combination or repeat
WOD 1 - burpees and snatch ladder - a combination of 12.1 burpees and 12.2 snatch ladder
WOD 2 - chest to overhead, deadlifts and box jumps - a combination of 12.3 and 11.2
WOD 3 - Karen, double unders, muscle ups - a repeat of 12.4

What’s missing
Well we haven’t seen toes to bar, cleans and overhead squats or 12.5 which is basically a variation of Fran (chest to bar pullups and thrusters).
Therefore the only thing left for the Crossfit gods to do is to combine these leftovers with Fran for 13.4. Alternately we could do Fran one week and a killer of a chipper for the next.
Now remember the WOD has to be done in a relatively small area that can be filmed and judged easily.

Here’s my predictions it’s either a little bit Fran, leftovers or a combo
Fran rep ladder 7 min AMRAP
3-6-9-12...
Thruster 45/30kg (100/65lbs)
Chest to bar pull-up

Leftovers
12 cleans 60/35kg (135/75lbs)
10 overhead squats 60/35kg (135/75lbs)
9 toes to bar

Combo
3-6-9-12....
cleans 60/35kg (135/75lbs)
overhead squats 60/35kg (135/75lbs)
chest to bar pull-up


Check in to see what it is, I’ll give it a go and we’ll predict the final WOD.
