Helen - 100909

I did Helen for the first time today. Forgot to write down my time though so I'll have to grab that and post it tomorrow.  Sometime between 16 - 17 minutes though I think.

Pullups:
I used a 'smaller' band (harder) for the pullups than I've used in a workout before, taking advantage of the fact there's only 36 of them in the workout. 

Kettlebell swings:
I used the 44lb kettlebell, basically because all the 1.5 pood were taken, and I really didn't feel like using the 2 pood.  Went unbroken the first two sets.  Broke the third into 12/9 because my grip was shot from the pullups.

Running:
Substituted 400m rows for the runs because my heel has been bugging me again.

RESULT: 16:55

[41/300]

WOD - Mon - 100719

WOD: Nancy

400m Run
15 OHS Men 95lbs. Women 65 lbs.
5 Rounds

24:57


MOD:
Used 75lb for the OHS. Wanted to focus on speed, technique and going unbroken on the OHS in this workout.


NOTES:
While my run is still really slow, I only broke the fourth set of the OHS. Came back and did the fifth set unbroken. Yea! But that also tells me I should have been able to do the fourth set unbroken. Regardless, a big boost in confidence in being able to do these faster. (By 'unbroken', that's not to say I didn't pause at the top of a rep to get a couple breaths, it means I didn't drop the bar in that particular set.)
