Helen: 3 rounds
400 m run

The running felt OK.
I did the swings in 2 sets on the last 2 rounds
I wish I could string more pull-ups together. I was doing mostly triples and doubles.

Fractured Helen @CFD

3 rounds, with rest as needed between rounds
400m run
21 kb swings (16kg)
12 pull-ups

3:55, 3:54, 3:37

It was good to have Erica to chase on the 400's. Swings were heavy, but I managed to complete all sets unbroken. I almost found my kipping pull-up again, and mostly did sets of 3 for that section.

Helenic WOD @CFD

6 rounds:
200m run
12 KB swings (16 kg)
6 chest-to-bar pull-ups (blue band, chin-up grip)

Time: 12:46

I was pretty worn out from a weekend of backpacking, but it felt good to get warmed up and stretched out. Glad I used 16kg instead of 12kg - all sets were unbroken. Pull-ups were tough, usually broken into 4+2.

Long time no see... good to be back at CFD!

The hip mobility stuff we did at the beginning of the class felt GREAT.

First minute: 1 power clean (95#, rx'd)
2nd: 2 kettlebell swings (12kg - rx'd was 16)
3rd: 3 power cleans
4th: 4 KBS
etc...

I finished 14 minutes + 10 cleans. I should have done the 16kg swings, as they didn't really feel heavy until the last round. The cleans were tough though - I felt really uncoordinated1
