Kelly, you can’t possibly think that your “yay!!” was going to start a thread of equal excitement. =)

Glad I’m in VA for this one!! =)

Went with 55# thrusters since it was double trouble today. Last “Fran” in January was 13:41 with Rx thrusters and tiny band for pullups. Fran I today was about 9:30 with 55# thrusters and Rx pullups. (I was excited to kinda, sorta get a sub-10 min Fran.) Added a red band about halfway through the first set of Fran II. Total time: 21:48.

OK, I’ll quit complaining now that its over – lol!

20:57 rx

First Fran was about a two minute PR for me at 8:41, my thrusters are getting much better!
For second Fran, I broke all of the thrusters in groups of three and that seemed to work pretty well for me.

I just paid attention to the rep scheme. So it’s like Fresh Fran immediately followed by Tired Fran.

  20:25 I think I paced pretty well, so it wasn’t like Fresh/Tired. Just plodded through with probably too many breaks. I did PR on the first Fran I think at a sub-9. But I was going light at 44# (arm injuries). Pull ups with new red. Big props to those who RX’d this one and to those who gave it their all at whatever scaling!!

Fran. One of my most hated workouts, second only to the Filthy 50. Hey, you know what I hate twice as much as Fran?

TWO FRANS. I I HATE HATE FRAN FRAN. 😦 😦

Seriously considered 1) not showing up today 2) telling Kelly to suck it after the first Fran and quitting 3) crying.

31:17 at 38#, which is 5# less than my regular Fran. Pull ups for the first Fran with red band, most of the second Fran with red and tiny. No crying.

In better news, I got another double-kipping unassisted pull up today! Apparently I can do one of these only every few days.

Yes this one sucked. On the positive my pullups feel better and I only popped one blister. And on Fran 2’s thrusters I kept a good pace of 5 thrusters then rest. Downside – all my rests are to long.

RX -25 something.

First time doing any kind of Fran…decided to go lower than Rx on thrusters since it was x2 –53#. I switched to hanging squat cleans during Fran II because I was feeling a weird twitch/spasm in my arm on the thrusters. Pullups w/ green + black.

22:03

Good job fellow noon crossfitters!

MOD WOD: 55# hang squat cleans for thrusters and burpees for pullups during the first fran and row for cal during the second. 23:?? HARD. But I feel awesome after doing it!

Also got 2 real pullups in a row today!

Soooo glad I can’t use my hands today.

Wearing a 10 pound vest:
Run 400 m x 3: 1:44/1:44/1:47
Then 50 box jumps on 24″box+25kg plate
Run 400 m x 3: 1:56/1:57/1:55

Then practiced pistols for 10 min. Used to be able to do them, now I can’t.

    Love my vest for the most part. It is really nice. But it has some plastic wirey things that stick out on thus sides that scratch my arms and legs. I need to fix that, and then it will be perfect.

Only had access to 40# dumbbells tonight @ the dojo, so we’ll call it “Double Frumbbell” 🙂 1st Frumbbell in 5:05 which felt slow (only becaue I knew I was holding back & saving energy for the next dose) and both together in 12:14…neither a PR nor RX (unless your Pat Sherwood who likes DB’s) but on the bright side, no Fran cough (yet)…
