So what's the purpose behind the baseline? Do you do it again and again to see how you're improving? Is there a standard time I should aim for?

Yep!  Now you may find that since you used bands for your pull-ups you may want to focus on using weaker bands rather than improving your time.  I still can't do a pull up unassisted (well, I couldn't before I left when I got pregnant - I doubt I can now, lol) so I just work on using a weaker band and going faster.  But your time on the baseline for a first timer is awesome. Shows that you are in good shape.  

We do the baseline at our gym about once every 6 months but you could just 'do it' whenever, to track.

I could do everything else unmodified besides the pull-ups, so I felt pretty good about that. Honestly the band I used was helpful but I think I could try a weaker band and see how that goes. I don't know that I'll improve my time much, but I know I'll get stronger!

Didn't you just run like, 9 miles today? And you're doing Crossfit. Dayum, girl.

Its just foundations. I'll stretch the 4 classes over the next month+ and then pick up crossfit after the race. After that I'm probably sticking to 10ks etc for a while.  

You are bad ass.
