A monster?? too soon to tell

H-Ellen.....
- 200 meter run
- 21 Kettlebell swings (24 kg)
- 12 pullups
5 rounds for time
So-funny thing - this morning, I'm thinkin' 200m run, heck that's nothing, I'm gonna treat it like a sprint....this should be no problemo. BAHAHAHAHAHA! Boy was I hallucinating......200m, is not sprint, at least not for the "running challenged". So, once I started this, I thought I created a giant nightmare of a monster. Especially after getting run by shouts of "I hate you Ellen"as I was being passed, while trying to muster up something close to resembling a run for the average person.

Turns out, seems like this was kind of a popular one...my verdict - still a bit hazy. Who knew I could modify something that I wasn't particularly fond of -.the original Helen ( 3 rounds 400m run/21 kb swings/12 pullups), and in my quest to make it easier by reducing the runs, make it more difficult. Yes, it is 200 m shorter than Helen, BUT it has 42 more kb swings and 24 more pullups. So.....not really easier, I'm not sure what I was thinking - musta been a low brainwave day for me!

I think I finished in 16:21 or something like that. The pullups were sad. Still strapped into the big blues, but with 60 pull ups, there was no way I was gonna be able to do them dead hang off the high bar - I can muster up, maybe 3 at a time there, so 60 was just a ridiculous thought. Will these dastardly pullups EVER get better?

Ah well...now here's the question of the day...

Who the hell wears a short black strapless dress and 4 inch heels to Costco????
Seriously......I witnessed, and now I must ponder!!
