Chipper.

Today's WOD is what in Crossfit parlance is a "chipper." Basically, you're just chipping away at big numbers. One like this is hard for me to get the heart rate up too high except for KBs, feels like I'm in that mid-range of conditioning with this one. 

For time:
30 Handstand push-ups (I scaled to 10 HSPUs). 
40 Pull-ups
50 Kettlebell swings, 1.5 poods
60 Sit-ups
70 Burpees

mywrite's time: 16:00 
Really happy about HSPUs, 5/5 subsets, and I haven't done these in months. Pull-up subsets of 20/20 (insert Merrill's jab about kipping/cheating), KBs in 30/20, Abmat SUs in 40/20 and burpees were a mess, I couldn't stop whining about my tired shoulders. Weak link, but did 20 in a row to finish. 

Evidence of how far I've come with Crossfit, in 2010, I did this WOD at 10/30/40/50/60 (i.e. lots fewer reps) and it took me more than 26 minutes. And I didn't even do pull-ups, I did ring rows.
