It's a good marker for conditioning but doesn't say a great deal about strength, arguably the most important of the physical competencies... Here’s how CrossFit interprets times (Male/Female):
3:45, 4:40 — Elite
4:30, 5:35 — Pro
5:15, 6:30 — Expert
6:15, 7:30 — Collegiate
7:15, 8:30 — Intermediate
8:15, 9:30 — Novice
9:15, 10:30 — Beginner
10:00, 11:00 — Cut-Off

Max Breath Hold Test

Following the David Blaine protocol in the Four Hour Body:

Prev best breath hold = +/- 2 min

WOD:
Deep breathing = 1 sec inhale, 1 sec hold, 10 sec exhale with tongue behind teeth
Purging = 1 sec inhale, forced exhale (as if blowing a toy boat across a pond)
Semi-purge breaths = somewhere between deep breathing and purging

1.30 deep breathing 
1.15 purging
1.30 breath hold (no more)
3 semi-purge breaths
1.30 deep breathing
1.30 purging
2.30 breath hold (no more)

100 Day Challenge

Started a 100 day challenge 21 Dec - 31 Mar of 50 push-ups daily (among other non-conditioning related things) to work on this goat of mine for the Crossfit Open.

2/1

Have been doing sets of 10 or 20 throughout the day so far and today did 50 push-ups for time to compare with the end of the challenge

WOD:

50 push-ups = 2.05

First 30 were done in 40 sec then hit a big wall! That's why this is a goat!
