Pistol Whipped

"Mary"

AMRAP in 20 minutes
5 Hand Stand Push Ups (scaled)
10 pistols
15 pull ups

This is a pistol:


...and mine were pretty terrible. Flexibility was obviously a big problem and I should add in deep stretching as an every day activity instead of every so often.

Five complete rounds with 3 rounds of kipping pull ups. I ripped during the third round and switched to dead hangs on a band and there was a minute or so lost due to taping up my hand because it was bleeding (yummy).

I slept my entire weekend away, and finally kicked out whatever hob-goblin was attempting to invade my lungs. Swine flu is hitting the Austin area fairly severely, and with all sorts of publicized shut downs and distressed newscasters, it's hard to keep your head on straight when it comes to what is real, and what is just a spectacular news story. Either way I don't want it.

Here's a Swine Flu PSA from 1976. Yes, we've been here and done that.
As always.

That workout sounds like a monster. Good on you for getting through that thing. Love to your torn hands :-)

it was a beast and a painful reminder that there are still many Crossfit moves that make me feel like I just started! Oh Crossfit, how I love and hate your lack of a glass ceiling...
