then cf wod was "helen"! I don't know why but this is one of my favorite cf wods. I had to swap the run out for a row which is think only makes this wod even more of a challenge. used womens rx for the weight. So 3 rounds for time of row 400 meters, 21 kettlebell swings (american) @ 1 pood and 12 pullups. Time 12:31. Not surprised with the time it is right around where I expected it to be. Good news is last time I did this wod in june I subbed out the run for rowing and used the same weight and then it took me 13:50 then so I shaved a full 1:19 seconds off this time. made it through rounds 1 and 3 without breaking the kb swings. round 2 i put it down after 15 which was just stupid I shouldn't have done it. my grip was hurting on the kb swings and especially the pullups. the last 4 pullups of the wod i felt like i had no grip left at all.
