This benchmark workout was first posted on CrossFit.com on Aug. 9, 2003. Helen is meant to be an all-out sprint. Most athletes can aim to complete the swings and pull-ups unbroken. If you anticipate breaking either movement more than once or twice, reduce the weight of the kettlebell and consider jumping pull-ups.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d

Beginner option:
3 rounds for time of:
Run 200 meters
15 kettlebell swings
9 jumping pull-ups

Today we have a longer chipper-style workout. Expect the kettlebell swings and knees-to-elbows to play off of each other in an interesting way. Use a kettlebell that allows you to perform each section in 2 sets or less. You should always be able to complete at least 5 knees-to-elbows throughout the workout. Aim to complete each run in 5 minutes or less. Work hard and have fun today.
