So during yesterday's rest day, I was really strategizing my programming for the upcoming FGB. I chose Helen for a few reasons.
1. It's a great test of overall fitness
2. Something that's taxing, but wouldn't destroy me and takes DAYS to recover from (ie Fran).
3. Gosh darnit it....I freaking LOVE Helen and I keep getting better at.
I really mentally preped for it. I wanted a sub 9 min Helen.
Helen:
3 Rounds for time
400 meter run
21 (53lb) American Kettlebell swings
12 pullups
Jake - 8:58 Rx'd
I gotta say this was a major boost to my confidence. The elite times are 7's and sub 7's. Being in the 8 minute range really let me know that I got 1 step closer. To get in the 7's, I'm going to have to make sure my pullups are unbroken and butterflys or I could just run faster...haha
What I'm really proud of, is that the WOD was done alone. People were watching, but didn't have another runner to pace.
