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.
