Helen as rx’d: 10:43 (2:28 PR from September).
I did Helen for the first time in my second week of Crossfit (July, 2011). I used the blue + purple bands for pullups and the 26# kettlebell and finished in 15:37.
The first time I did it Rx was 5/22/12. It took me 19:02 and the pullups were one at a time.
9/6/12 – 13:11. Struggled to finish the pullups.
1/3/13 – 10:43. Wish I could have done all the pullups unbroken… but my forearms were on FIRE.
Next time – on maybe a beautiful spring day – I hope to get in under 10!
Nice job Annette! You rocked it!
Awesome Annette! You’re such an amazing athlete! “Helen” was one of my 1st Wods too. Great way to start 2013!
Over 2 min PR while running in the artic tundra of death (aka -6 degree weather And the ice covered parking lot) what a stud! Awesome job Annette:)
Awesome, Annette! Helen is one of my favorite CF workouts, and I think it’s one of the best benchmarks for showing your progress.
Beautiful! I never even logged my first Karen, but I definitely did not rx it as I did today, so I’m taking my 13:32 time.
I call shenanigans on that ice, too, I had to splay my toes like a chimp and take tiny steps. It definitely made my top 10 list of scariest crossfit moments.
Gah – Helen, not Karen. 515 boards, Y U no has edit button :<
Way to go Annette!!
Helen, as rx’d: 9:14 (19 seconds slower than pr). I thought I did better on kettlebells and pull-ups today, but definitely slower on the run.
“Laredo” FINALLY Rx’d in 27:01. Last 2 runs about killed me. 400m on Wish we could be ringing it in together C-Vegas style w/ a vanilla beer & black bean hummus at the Blackhorse. a track seems a lot further than @ 515 :p Still liked this one though 😉 Miss all of you!
Don’t know what the middle part of that post is from so feel free to edit as needed 🙂
Nice job Lo!! We are doing this one when you are back as well! 🙂

I refuse to call it Helen because Helen is my favorite cf workout and rowing sucked!
I can’t stop laughing… what sort of secret life is auto correct telling us you have? Apparently it involves Vegas, beer and beans?!?!
That was directed at Lauren… now my phone is being screwy… weird me right 😛
Oh geez!!!
I am literally laughing out loud.. when are we going to Vegas and having beer and black bean hummus? Sounds like a good time to me..
I am game 😉 I think I was talking about the Blackhorse Pub in Clarksville, TN. They have great beer & food. And my friend has a huge box there not to mention Rich Froning just opened his there too. Maybe we should add Nashville to our list of road trips?!
Oh believe me I was LMAO too but sadly there’s no edit button for me. No secret life here babes trust me! I think my phone was possessed after the Potterthon 🙂
You’ve been drinking beer and eating beans with Froning?!?! Jealous 😉
I LUV how you’re making my life sound so exciting & glamorous Leelee! You’re the best 😉
I’m down for a trip to Nashville too.. the weather has got to be warmer there than it is here!! Again, your presence is missed at 515 Lo!!
Thanks Jessi! I miss you all to pieces. Woding by yourself is No Marato’n!
8:51 as Rx’d. Slow going on the ice. Long strides + ice = broken bones.
Nice job John!!
Just finished my first workout at CrossFit 515. “Helen” was very challenging for me, but I really like the structure of Crossfit. I’ll definitely be coming back!
