I completed 11 rounds the last time I did Crossfit Cindy (May), today I completed 15 rounds.  Which is significant progress.  This equates to: 75 Pull-Ups, 150 Push-Ups and 225 Air Squats in 20 minutes which is a personal best.  I had to start brief periods of rest after the 7th round. 

My training partner Chris completed 12 rounds.

My goal is to get to 18-20 rounds, when I attempt this again in a couple of months.
