Modified Helen

Today is Helen's day in Crossfit World.

3 rounds for time:

400 meter run
21 Kettlebell swings
12 pullups

Modified: 5 mile run

21 kettlebell Swimgs

12 Jumping pullups

Well, because I am heavier than I want to be, it makes it more challenging to do pull ups without yanking my arms out of their sockets. I improvised with jumping pullups instead. This added greater intensity without having to pop my arms back into their sockets.
I substituted the 400m run with a 5 mile run instead.
I used a 15lb kettlebell which was the right weight needed fr these swings.

Over all, Helen proved herself to be a bad ass among all the other crossfit workouts.

Totals: 5 Miles...48:41
Helen: 5:57
