Tillman

7 Rounds For Time: Finished in 27:32

• 7 Deadlifts (315/205 lb)

• 200 meter Sprint

• 15 Pull-Ups - All unbroken!

• 45 seconds Rest

*************************************

I was surprised I hadn't done this OG Hero WOD yet.... until I saw the number and weight of the deadlifts! That was definitely the crux of the workout for me. Except for the first round when I was still getting warm, I always did 3 to start and then did mostly 2/2, maybe a 3/1 and a couple 2/1/1. All my pull-ups were unbroken and the sprint was actually a nice shake out for my back/hamstrings and my arms.

Honored to have done this workout for this Hero.
