100 swings for time.
One way to get a feel for your conditioning is to see how long it takes you to get 100 swings in.
If you're around 5 minutes you might have a bell that's either too heavy and you should think about working with a lighter one for a while.
With the RKC swing, bio-mechanically speaking, the fastest the technique will allow you to swing is right around 40 swings per minute (give or take a few swings). Which places a 100 KB swings for time right around 2:30. If you're consistently swinging at this rate with the bell you have and you're also doing it 'hardstyle' you might want to consider moving up to a heavier bell.
I did today's WOD with a 72 pound bell and I can honestly say my hardstyle technique faded around rep 40 and the tension at the top of the swing was pretty light near the end. Even though I got 2:32 for the 100 swings, I know there's more work to do with that bell weight. More work with overspeed eccentrics!
Have a great rest of your weekend!
