500 in 30 min???
I hate to be a doubter, but I don't see how that is possible, it would be an absolutely incredible feat of athleticism!
1800 seconds in 30 min = 1 burpee every 3.6 sec with no stops!!!!

Big ups to Max and Lucas on the CFT #'s today...
It looks like 1000 is in range.
PS my efforts were cut short due to an appointment so I put up a big DNF!
