"Helen"
3 Rounds for Time:
- Run 400 meters
- 21 KB Swings, 1.5 pood
- 12 Pull-ups

Time: 10:40

Felt like a pretty good effort. I think the 400s are a little long, and it's hard to get a good rhythm because the first portion is through the gym.

CrossFit - 31Jul (pm)

Warm-up:
- Rowing 3:00
- Dynamic ROM Drills
- 8 Burpees

WOD:
"Helen"
3 Rounds for time
- Run 400-meters
- 21 Kettlebell Swings, 55-lbs
- 12 Pull-ups

As always, on the dumb treadmill - I think it really impacts my overall time. I was doing the 400s at a 5:22 min/mile pace and still significantly slower than my best time - despite the fact that I did all the swings and pull-ups straight through.

Time: 9:57

CrossFit - 27Mar (pm)

"Helen"

- Run 400-meters
- 21 Kettlebell Swings, 1.5 pood (sub 55-lbs Dumbell)
- 12 Pull-ups

My arch-nemesis! For some reason, this is the one workout that I can't seem to progress. I always push to the max, but I just can't seem to cycle through the reps any faster. Granted, I haven't been getting ideal sleep this week, but I wasn't getting good sleep 3 or 4 months ago, and my time was faster than it was tonight.

Splits: 1:16 (400), 1:41, 1:30 (400), 2:06, 1:31 (400), 1:45
Total Time: 9:51

CrossFit - 27Jan (pm)

Pre:

Overhead Squats
140 x 15

Forgot my lifting shoes today and had to wear my Nike Frees, definitely NOT a good shoe for OHS. Regardless, today felt easier than 135-lbs, so that's encouraging!

WOD
"Helen"
- Run 400-meters
- 21 KB Swings, 55-lbs
- 12 Pull-ups

I didn't push the runs as hard as I should've, but I was pretty tired today after my first day on day shift in the sun. Oh well, it's still a PR by 2 seconds...Haha!

Time: 9:32

CrossFit - 21Nov(am)

"Helen"

- Run 400m
- 21 KB Swings, 55-lbs
- 12 Pullups

Gonna try to go sub-10...gotta find 14 seconds somewhere!

Got my sub-10 (and a 40-sec PR)!

For the record, eating a pint of Ben and Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk 7 hours prior to the WOD is a BAD idea. I was fighting back Pukie the entire time...I'm proud that I've never met him, and I kept the streak alive today, even though I had a RAGING headache and 20+ minutes later I still feel worse than I've ever felt after a WOD.

Total Time: 9:34
