Benchmark Workout: Kelly

“Kelly”

Five rounds for time of:
Run 400m
30 Box Jump (24″/20″)
30 Wall Ball (20#/14#)

I didn’t know what to expect from this workout. I knew it would be long; the running alone would take between 10 and 15 minutes. There would be no way I’d be able to finish this workout with a 20# ball, and I was hesitant to use a 14# ball since I had to switch from a 14# to a 10# the last time I did wall balls (10 days ago). I also haven’t been good with 24″ box jumps. I always would jump all the way up with straight legs instead of jumping and landing in a squat, then standing up.

I made it through the whole thing. Wall balls were slow, but good; box jumps too. During the third round, I decided that I would do only four rounds.  I was just too tired; the workout sucked.  After the fourth round, however, I was too tired to remember that I had made that decision until about 10 steps after I started running. I couldn’t really stop now. I struggled through the last round with Darren finishing a couple of minutes before me.

  • 6:16
