      Great job on the pull ups!!! I feel your pain with the DUs!! I’m hanging on to the hope that something (I wish I knew what..!) will ‘click’ one of these days and DUs will happen…

      1. Crystal

        Thanks ladies! I kept asking Kevin what is the purpose of these DU’s?!?!? lol Hopefully I will get it one of these days!

      Thanks for the explanation Mario, I didn’t get it either. I just figured it was because I’d be sucking wind!!!

    Time – 9:55 aka too light… So I decided that my ‘consequence’ for underestimating the weight was to keep going… so I did 4-6-8-10 until I got to 14:30. Sorry for the confusion Helen!!! 😉

    I am not really good at picking my own weight. Used 50% of my new pr set last week but could have gone at least another 5#. Rounds 8-6-4-2 should have been harder.

    Fun staying to watch 13.2 announced and watch Jo and Kevin do the wod. Great job guys!!
