Crossfit: Helen and Griff

I did both Helen and Griff yesterday. I knew whichever I chose to do first would greatly affect my time on the second. I did Helen first and finished in 13:26 (a new PR by 21 seconds) and then I did Griff, which took me about 3 minutes longer than the first time I did it.

I also tore another callouse. I think it was because I used parallel bars for the pull-ups on Helen which have a different effect on the hands when doing kipping pull-ups.

Crossfit: "Helen"

"Helen"

Three rounds for time:
Run 400 meters
1 1/2 pood Kettlebell X 21 swings (or 55 pound dumbbell swing)
12 Pull-ups

I did this as Rx'd (got to use my new kettlebell) on Saturday, 03/29/2008. I finished in 13:47. I had been neglecting my running and sprinting while focusing on Stronglifts and it showed when I started the first 400 meters, my legs felt like molasses. I know I can get that under 10 minutes.
