Double "Helen" - aka "Hell-In"

The CrossFit Games 2010 introduced the CF world to double "Helen." Helen on it's own is 3 rounds of 400m run, 21 kettlebell swings, 12 pullups for time.

Double Helen is as follows:

1200 m Run

63 Kb Swings

36 Pull Ups

800 m Run

42 Kb Swings

24 Pull Ups

400 m Run

21 Kb Swings

12 Pull Ups

For time!

In looking at the Game's scores from this year here, I did pretty well! My time was 20:34. If you look at some of the big names from the Games, I'm a contender. Granted, they were doing other workouts prior, but still, it shows that if I didn't have a "job" job, worked out 3-5 times a day, etc, that I would be in contention! Maybe.

Prior to Double Helen, I did a 2-2-2-2-2-1-1 on the bench press. Weights were 155-175-195-205-225-235-235. 

My wife was spotting so I didn't want to go above 235. I could have done 255 one time I think. Good to know I still have some strength there, even though I don't bench like I used to. Even at that, I'm benching more now than I was when I was doing a regular routine at a globo.

To health,
