Loving it

Today at Crossfit Coronado was 5 rounds for time of
12 turkish get-ups (6 each side) 40#
11 L-pulls
I haven't done TGUs before, so I got a little instructional pre Wod, then mid round 1 as I was really struggling with the first set at 40#. After the first set the trainer and I agreed to lower to 30#. I finished in 25 something. I forget the exact time, but this Wod was more about getting through a new movement and a weakness (L pulls). I made it with a moderate time compared to the others and I now know how to do a turkish get-up pretty well. I also learned how to Kip an L-pull to keep the metcon portion and not lose momentum mid-Wod when the L part fails.

I think I'll ask to use the rope tomorrow if they have one (there isn't one up now) just to get a chance to pratice and compare to towell pull-ups. I'm lovin the affiliate, even if they don't add in heavy lifting before the Wod.
