When Eva Strikes

Yesterday’s wod on the CrossFit national site was named “Eva” but I think they may have left out an “L” at the end of that name; it was down right ugly. Although my body may have been ready for her after having taken Saturday off, I’m not so sure anything could've really prepared for this one. It can best be described as Cracked-out Helen, as it resembles Helen in movements but at a far greater volume, making it physically demanding in addition to being incredibly challenging mentally.

"Eva"

Five rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters
2 pood Kettlebell swing, 30 reps (I used 1 pood)
30 Pull-ups

55:19 (i was trying to finish in sub 1 hr)

Named after Crossfit superstar and athelete Eva T, the wod is a brand new addition to the Crossfit black box. Eva, who recently said in an interview that she's a fan of Helen because its her mother’s name, shows us just how much she loves her mom in this grueling workout. Congrats to Eva for her namesake wod and a big high 5 to all of those who survived yesterday's workout!
