I walked in to the box and walk straight
over to the whiteboard as usual and see the one four letter word I don't ever want too see "Fran". It’s been a little over a month since I did
Fran for the first time and here it is again.
My first time was 11:30 and when I did it two days later it was
8:44. Today I knew I would get a faster
time and I was excited and nervous. It’s
kind of the feeling before a game, like the feeling I would get leading up to a
basketball game. I got my barbell set up
and placed it near the rig so I would have a quick transition from the
thrusters to the pull-ups. I ripped
through the first set of thrusters and pull-ups unbroken. Then on to the set of 15, and wow does
this bar feel heavy. I get 11 and drop
the barbell and take three breaths. I
pick the bar up and get the next 4. I
get to the pull-up bar and I’m really breathing hard. I hop up and get 15 and now I’m back to the
thrusters. I get 6 and then 3. I finish the pullups and look and my final
time is 4:45. The image above is "Pukie" the Crossfit mascot and this pretty much sums up me after the workout. This was a 7 minute
improvement from my first time. I felt
really good with my time. I’m hoping to
stay in the four minute range for the Crossfit for the Cure challenge this
Saturday. The 4th fittest man
in the world Scott Panchik is coming to speak at Crossfit Grand Strand Saturday morning
before the challenge. Going to be an awesome experience!
