200 meter Run
15 Kettlebell Swings (1/.75 pood)

Tips for the Helen WOD
- Pace the runs sensibly. This can be an opportunity to make up time or get a little rest, depending on your running ability.
- Attempt to perform the swings and pull-ups unbroken.
- If you’re having to break up the movements multiple times this is a strong indicator that you should scale down.
