Leaderboard WOD - Diane!

Matty P getting after a Can West Games qualifier wod!
Team,
Here we go again with one of our new leaderboard workouts, which is actually a vintage crossfit workout (just like last weeks' Helen). Diane is a pretty straightforward couplet, but is challenging in that it requires both strength for the deadlifts and strength endurance for the handstand pushups.
With most of these benchmark workouts, if you are close to being able to complete it as Rx, then give it a shot! You never know what might happen and by being patient and focusing on technique, you may well end up surprising yourself!

I've got the first round of Helen scores up on the in gym leaderboards, and as you can see, we don't have many masters scores up there... so all of us 40+ people need to get our butts in gear to make the leaderboard well rounded.
Get a good warm up in for this workout, be safe with both movements, and have fun!
See you on the other side :)
