"Eva"
Five rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters
2 pood Kettlebell swing, 30 reps
30 Pull-ups
40:02
I knew this would take awhile and I actually think I could have gone faster only because I had a 1.5pood KB. I am dying to know what a 2pood feels like in a WOD.
My 800times 3:18-3:51-4:00-4:18-4:00

Today 11-16-09
This is why I am dissapointed
"Angie"
For time:
100 Pull-ups--4:30
100 Push-ups--6:40
100 Sit-ups--3:20
100 Squats--2:40
17:20
Those damn pushups get me everytime. I felt great with the pulls I met my goal. Fell short alot on the pushs. I need to work them in during my warmup and with some extra to improve on this. It is still a PR for me , but damn I wanted in the 15s

Disappointing Kettle Bell Bomb

Monday
Two rounds of:
Right arm barbell push-press 12 reps
Left arm deadlift 12 reps
Run 800 meters
Left arm barbell push-press 12 reps
Right arm deadlift 12 reps
Run 800 meter
Go heavy, run fast. Post time to completion and loads to comments.
Time--26 something

I erased the numbers from the memory of my watch, however, I used just the bar for shoulder press and 95# for deadlifts. I attempted higher weight with shoulder press but it turned into an ugly jerk.

Yesterday's KB Bomb

"Eva" it had been awhile since this came around. When I saw it I was excited and nervous. I wanted to try 2 pood KB but I did not want to use a DB as I know my grip would be shot by the end of round 1. I used my taping method of my KB to make it a 1.5 pood and away I went. Last time I also used a 1.5 pood so I figured I would stick with that and improve on my time. Improve on my time I was doing and I felt great, however, at the end of round 3 with 2 swings to go my duct tape job fell apart and here goes lots of 1# weights flying all over the ground, I finished my 3rd round at 23:38. That is a great time and I feel I could of done all 5 rounds in under 35min. Well, Melissa saw what happened and knew I had to tape it up for a previous WOD and told me I need to just go buy a 1.5 pood KB:) I was very disappointed that I was unable to finish "Eva" and I will be purchasing a 1.5 pood this weekend. Next time I will be below 23min at the 3round mark.

Exhausted!!!

I have to agree with Josh, I think this is the most challenged I have been with CrossFit to this point. (refering to Eva)

"Cindy"
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats

I completed 15rounds as I set for my goal, here are the times
00:42,1:28,2:20,3:19,4:22,5:33,6:57,8:30,10:07,11:45,13:29,15:19,16:59,18:04,19:25 and five pullups. Pushups are what gave me the trouble.

Today "Eva"
Five rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters
2 pood Kettlebell swing, 30 reps
30 Pull-ups
8:20,19:16,31:28,42:37,54:06
I used 1.5pood as 2 was too heavy, I had poor form and did not want to injury my back with the 2pood.
I am still working through the mental blocks of the discomfort with the WODs. I am getting better and can push myself harder, I just need to do it until I break!!!
