Jump Rope Challenge in Grand Rapids

I came across this challenge the other day. I'm not sure if it's a crossfit thing or what, but it's pretty fun. See how long it takes you to jump rope 1000 times. Take as much rest as needed or do it straight through. I did it in 10:26. I think I saw someone do it in 6:32. Next week I will try to break 10 minutes. Jumping rope is a great general conditioning tool. It's also great for coordination and foot quickness and can be done almost anywhere. How fast can you do the challenge? Let me know and have fun!
