Had to wait and do this until my new Romaleos came in the mail … they’re so fresh!!!

A. 195# (5# PR)
B. “Helen” 10:58 Rx

Not a great time but still felt good about this – everything was UB and paced myself well. My PR is 9:40 but the last time I did Helen it was 14:00+ and I couldn’t feel my arms ;-D

A. Missed 225# at the buzzer.

B. Finished Helen 4:34 but I feel like I did something wrong when I look at the other times. Was it supposed to be more than 1 round?

Great advice, Mattman! Kimmi, you’ve been crushing it lately. Maybe your body just called for a rest day.

A. 215 – not a PR. Missed 225 (current PR) twice. But then…
B. 7:56 rx. PR by 15s. Not sure how to do this any faster except to run faster.

I’ve seen 7:15-7:20 but it was on a track with the pull-up bar right there one end so there was no transition. It would be tough in a normal set-up. Nice work!
