Get On The Board
May 20, 2010

Pics are of Ryan Retmier getting after some pull-ups and some of the girls scurrying up the ropes...

First off:  Nice participation on the blog this week.  Let's pick it up even more...

You must have noticed the cool new white boards we have around the box.  In order to get up on the Bench Mark boards, you must be observed by a Coach setting a PR.  If you do that, you're on the Board.  Make it happen today!


WOD

"Helen"

Three rounds for time:

Run 400 meters
1.5 pood Kettlebell x 21 swings (or 55lb dumbbell swing)
12 Pull-ups

Post time to comments.

11:00 Rx (PR by 30sec)

Even though it was a PR, that old time was from October and I was expecting better.  Time for a couple days off.  I need to have a hear to hear with my inner-dialogue.

14:45 no rx.  I beat my last time with Helen by a whole minute.  I need to work more on my pull ups.  One day in the distant future I'll be able to say I did a pull up without a band!
