Eva...the She Devil...

Five rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters
2 pood Kettlebell swing, 30 reps (70# DB)
30 Pull-ups

Been doing CF since beginning of January and Eva is by far one of the toughest I have done.
Started out feeling my way through. Really didn’t know how this was going to unfold. I told myself I was going to do at least the first round Rx’d and see how I felt from there.

Should have prehydrated better. My left quad was about to cramp and lock up. I felt it on the last 50m or so of the 4th 800m and on every rep of the KB swing afterwards.

Round splits:
Rd 1: 7:15 (7:15)
Rd 2: 10:00 (17:15)
Rd 3: 12:22 (29:37)
Rd 4: 12:19 (41:56)

Here is the break down of each lift.
70# DB swings…
Rd 1: 30 unbroken
Rd 2: 23, 7
Rd 3: 22, 8
Rd 4: 23, 7

Pull-ups 30 reps were broken up like this…
Rd 1: 16, 6, 6, 2
Rd 2: 10, 10, 10
Rd 3: 10, 10, 8, 2
Rd 4: 10, 10, 10

Read on the main site that the most elite do it in 30 minutes or so and you should scale to finish in about the same time give or take 3-5 minutes.

Time on my watch was at 41:56 at the end of 4 rounds so I stopped. At the time I was dying, but now that I am recovered I wish I would have sufferred through the 5th round just to say I did it as Rx’d all the way through. Next time it is 5 rounds or bust for me.

Cash Out: Went ahead and finished the fifth round not for time after about a 5-10 minute break.

Great WOD…Round one goes to Eva…
