2nd date with Hilde

You remember Hilde, Fran's nice friend. I had my second outing with her and it went pretty much the same as the first date. It was embarrassing for me, not that she would ever say anything about it.

Hilde part II:

-50 burpees

-21-15-9 thrusters (2x25 kgs) and pull-ups

Got my time down to 11'47"74, a modest improvement; this after 2 somewhat intense days of training immediately prior. I am tired.

The no-mas-ometer reads 4.0, but just barely. Trying to beat the previous time provided the extra bit of intensity.

she's got a nice personality

Some of you may have heard of Fran, one of Crossfit's most notorious "girls." I'll bet a couple know her personally. Frankly, much as I lust after Fran, she's out of my league. I just don't have the goods: barbell; sturdy pull-up bar; not to mention quads, hammies, erector spinae, rectus abdominus, etc. Fortunately I know a girl just my speed. She looks exactly like Fran, from a certain angle and if the lighting is just so. More importantly, my 2x25 kg dumbbells and doorway pull-up bar (which won't accommodate kipping pull-ups) don't elicit a raised eyebrow of disdain. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Hilde, a nice girl.

Hilde:
-5 minute burpee test (60)
-21-15-9 reps of thrusters and pull-ups (12'42"48)

What can I say? This was a feeble attempt. Thrusters are not my forte. I had to break it up into sets of 5, with lots of heavy breathing. All smoke and no fire, as it were. Same with the pull-ups, but I got those out of the way pretty quickly, even without kipping. With a time of 12'42", it looks like Hilde and I are destined for a long relationship. I bet she'll even give me pointers on Fran, she's that nice.

No mas-ometer says 3.9.
