YIKES!!! I remember this ....Helen meet Tina again!
Oh yea! Ill definately be in for this one!!
I'll be in EHT @ 530 and would love dips on the vest!
wanted to do this one! a little nervous, but that's a good thing right? I'll be in @ 4:30. Looking forward to it!
Leanna - thought you were coming at 430. Your gonna make me do Heavy Helen alone?
Going through withdrawl...miss you guys! Did 1/2 mile run, 3 min push ups, 3 min DU, then 3 rds of 25lb db pp/lunge/dl (20 each), then abs. Looking forward to being back.
Kristi..lol...I was just thinking we should go thru this mess together! Not sure I can get there by 430 though!
Great work 930 EHT crew. Bambi contrats on RX'ing Helen!
Great work Steph, Greg and Fran, beautiful day to run outside.
Tina we missed you at Helen this time.did 1 mile swim this am then Rx Helen 11:14 ,2 minutes quicker then 12/3/09. Happy about that.
Good luck to everyone today
Ok, I might make 430:-)
First time I was introduced to "Helen" and "skin the cat". It was intense, heart rate through the roof!
KB 35 lb. bell
assisted pull-ups, total time 13:13
Had fun on the rings, felt like a kid again!!.
A lot harder running 25lbs fatter lol only pr'd by 13 seconds...
Rx'd 8:27
Unbroken pull ups and kb's but slow run. Great weather, nice job 6!
Rx'd 8:19
1st Helen
rx'd 15:09
first time rxing pull ups and kb's
Heavy Helen Rx'd 15:14.
Kristi and I decided to tackle Heavy Helen together. Justin should have taken a picture of us running and swinging around 53lb kettle bells in 20lb vests...would have been a classic shot!
Thanks for the push Kristi..not sure how I would have done it without you!
Leanna, don't know you but my jaw dropped when I read 53 lb. KB and 20lb. vest...Holy S*&^#!!! how long did it take you to get to that level of fitness?? I'm just starting out, was just curious.
great job Leanna and Kristi..
Thats like having my 18 month old on my back haha.. Trying to imagine swinging a kb with that geez
Today was my second Helen...my first time was 13:40 Rx'd, and today I did it in 11:47...still have a lot of room for improvement on the run and pull ups. Hoping to knock another 2 mins off the next time I tackle this one!
Leanna and Kristi - you girls were awesome!!! I'm hoping to one day be able to do heavy helen with you!!
Thanks girls! Theresa, I've been doing cf with OTG for 1 1/2yrs. I did Heavy Helen last year around this time in 17+mins, so I was happy with my time today. You'll be there in no time!
Jax, no doubt you and I will be fighting for the vest next time this WOD comes around!
And Stepheey, I don't recommend putting your child on your back to train for Heavy Helen:-) Doing the run and the kettle bells you might be fine, but chest to bar pull ups could get dicey!
Rx'd 8:36. Definately liked that workout. Great job Leanna and Kristy! I think I'm going to have to man up and do the heavy version next time around. can't say i'm looking forward to it.
(Kristi)sorry about that
Likewise Leanna - great job.
Glad you were there with me, it was fun in a sick and twisted way.
Heavy Helen - 15:26. I actually beat my last helen time and didn't do it heavy that time.
Thanks Jax for sticking around and watching our pain, ha ha. Next time your doing it:)
thanks Leanna:)
Rx'd ... 10:24 (PR)
