Helen

"Helen"

3 rounds for time:

400 meter run
21 reps - 53lb (1.5 pood) kettlebell swing
12 pullups

The 1.5 pood kettlebell wasn't heavy... until round 2 :)

Round 3.  I am really working hard to maintain the standards.  It slowed me down, but I feel good about it.

My pullups are getting so much better.  I made up a lot of time from the KB swings on the pullups.


My goal was sub 10:00.  On WODs I have never done before I usually check the main site and develop an average based on men my age and weight and try to beat it.  Most of the time I actually get pretty close, surprisingly enough for me.  Of course, I have yet to see Jason Khalipa, Tommy Hackenbruck, or the fittest man alive (Mikko Salo) post their performance results to the site.  Not bad for me, though!  I find that writing down my goal for the WOD really makes a difference.  It sets a permanent goal and I do not want to disappoint myself.  If you don't do this already, give it a try.
