Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is the CrossFit benchmark Kelly. Kelly is a long grind, but the goal is to keep moving throughout. This workout rewards consistency. If you need to take a few extra breaths, do so during your transition to the next movement. Maintain large chunks of box jumps and wall-ball shots. Try to keep moving on the box jumps and perform the wall-ball shots in 2 sets or fewer in each round. You can recover a bit on the run, but don't take longer than 2:15. You can afford to run a little slower if it means faster and bigger sets on the other movements. If scaled correctly, a single round should take no more than 6 minutes to complete.
Intermediate option:
4 rounds for time of:
400-meter run
20 box jumps
30 wall-ball shots
♀ 10-lb medicine ball to a 9-foot target and a 20-inch box
♂ 14-lb medicine ball to a 10-foot target and a 24-inch box
Beginner option:
4 rounds for time of:
200-meter run
20 box jumps
20 wall-ball shots
♀ 6-lb medicine ball to an 8-foot target and a 12-inch box
♂ 10-lb medicine ball to a 9-foot target and a 12-inch box

Lawd Jeez, I thought was gonna either puke or croak, but my teeth are clean and I’m alive, typing this, so I made it. I don’t think I could repeat that performance unless I cryogenically preserve myself and not eat like shit before doing this (too much coffee and bad food this morning).
Forgive my musings, they entered my mind while deliriously staring at my garage ceiling.

Man, that's awesome, CN! Congrats on a hard-won PR!
Amigo! That’s badass! Congrats on the PR!
Great job, and thank God for clean teeth.
Hell yeah bro. This was my first time doing Kelly Rx'd. Done lots of variations with box jumps and wall balls, but never Kelly Kelly

Fantastic!
From the 190722 programming of Kelly...Jeff Chalfant, James Gentile, Coach Chris, and some others might remember this. I think Kathy meant 2005, not 2010, but a not-so subtle reminder from Coach to work one's weaknesses hard!

Some background on the origins of the WOD "Kelly". On May 9, 2010 Kelly Moore was on crossfit.com commenting on the WOD "Diane". Kelly said "Diane likes me only because she plays into two of my strongest lifts. Now have a WOD with running, wall ball and box jumps and see what happens..." https://www.crossfit.com/workout/2005/04/09#/comments The next day, May 10, "Kelly" premiered on the main site. https://www.crossfit.com/workout/2005/04/10#/comments Good times! Kathy

Nice job and compare-to list, Jim! 24030 was my only other recorded Kelly work and I only did 2 rounds after completing Grace and Isabel (ladies Rx). Made up those other 2 because of the previous day's bulletproof workout.
Nice job going nautical, and solid history of doing this tough one!
Can’t stop the Rixspress

Running around the block, drug the box outside, wall balls on the side of the house. Legs were trashed before the workout even started, could hardly do my "rest day run" yesterday. I guess being slow allowed more time to enjoy the sunshine
240330 Almost Rx (let my wife have the treadmill so I did a 650m row, jumps as is, wall balls 20lb @ 9' ceiling) - 28:02
230707 Almost Rx (Run on treadmill @1%, jumps as is, wall balls 20lb @ 9' ceiling) - 29:07
Those are some awesome times, esp. 2024s.
This, as with your post for Lincoln...glad you're always looking for the bright side of life!
Good work, Sam!
Definitely all great times!

Excellent time, as always. Favo.
Great job, Favo! Well done yesterday too in keeping CN company with that WW/burp/DU slay fest!

Rx
31:44
This was definitely not anywhere near my all-time PR but I have no record of it so this is the new one despite today not being a PR effort. Runs were just above a recovery pace, BJs slow and steady (full stand up and step down), and broke WBS every 10 reps. Priority was getting the work done. Knees are angry.
That's a great time @ Rx Linc! Nice work!
Meant to be a grind, was a grind, and you persevered. You hit the trifecta, even if a tad slower than desired. Time for a protein shake and some icy hot on the knees. :)
Tell them kneez to mind they beez, that’s awesome work buddy!
I saw that 2024 attempt to do Kelly after two other girl workouts...I'm sure your intent was pure, but that woulda been one hell of a day. Or one kind of a day in hell.
RXd at the Y. Air Assault Runner used.
28:04
4:34-5:04-6:01-6:27-5:58
unbroken first two rounds, then broke WB round 3. round 4 was a mess breaking BJ and WB. pushed round 5 to go unbroken BJ's and two sets of WB's.
240330 - no score
230709 - 29:58 (similar setup)
220920 - 26:25 (runs on indoor track)
211001 - 27:07 (garage gym, 10 lb ball)
Awesome going UB!
Great job on upping your game in R5. Kelly for me is a slow train wreck, unfolding with each round.
Awesome job, James!
Killed it!

22:33 4 rounds of extra while using 14 pound ball. Getting over being sick and lungs were dying.
That's pretty fast for not being 100%! Feel better soon!
