CrossFit WOD: "Elizabeth" kicks my butt.

I've done the benchmark "Elizabeth" before, but it was different this time around. My previous gym did not have the real rings hanging from the ceiling, but rather, had them hanging on a bar where I could, if I wanted to, touch my feet to the ground with ease. This time around, not a chance. The rings are about 8 feet in the air and I have to use a box to get to them. That is good and bad. "Elizabeth" is the following:
In reps of 21-15-9

Squat cleans (135lbs)
Ring dips

For time!

My time was 10:14. Last time I got 8:15. It just goes to show that I was not doing the full extent of this workout. The ring dips really screwed me, but it showed that I'm needing work on them. A very tough benchmark and I look forward to improving. My wife got 9:20 scaled at 35lbs - she's doing well, working on form first and foremost.

Best,
Tyler
