It would figure that the first workout after I take two weeks off would be Fran. Awesome, this is going to suck!

[Julie]

Fran was not the issue, the handstand push-ups and paralette holds smoked my arms, 5:55

[Darrell W.]

9:40 - 75# thrusters, all PUs w/o band

Awesome turnout for 5am DP! I don't ever recall 10.

Must be the coaching, thanks Sarah!

[Dennis]

Great Job 5AM! My first dance with Fran 75# & Red bands for PU's -11:26. Thanks Sarah.

[Larry M Persons]

Paralettes were not broken today....I used boxes instead.

9:23RX Fran. First time doing this WOD RX not impressed by my time or efforts. A whole lot of walking to the pull up rig. Should have had a better plan on how to get from movement to movement quicker.

Thank you Sarah.

HOLY..smoked shoulders. My very first thruster actually hurt. Ironically, my shoulder was fine by the last round. 75# with blue band..Time?..not a clue.

I remember when I first started that my son Jake and I were sometimes the only ones in class. Things have definitely changed...for the good.

[Darin K.]

Chiropractor WOD: Hopefully I get cleared today so I can come back on Wednesday. Miss you guys. Doing pushups and air squats at home, so at least I'm getting better.

And I missed out on both Fran and Karen. I might have to do those extra after class in the next couple of weeks.

9;52 RX, cant seem to string more than 3 pullups together. Basically I did a bunch of sets of 3 until the last round. Then 1,1,1,1.... Pleased with my sub 10!

[Sam Swofford]

Holy friggin Fran! Ive always wanted to fran. It was the only Benchmark WOD i knew of before i started doing crossfit. I knew it would be bad, but it was worse than i anticipated.

6:54 RX. Im disappointed with my time. I think my effort was where it was supposed to be but my abilities limited me.

Did 21 thrusters unbroken, then 7, 7, 5 2 on the pullups.

Next was 7, 5, 3 on the thrusters and 5, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1 on the pullups.

Last round of thrusters was 5 and 4, but should have been unbroken. My pullups were gone! I did 3 and then a bunch of singles.

Im already planning on meeting fran again sometime soon...

I just squeaked in 12:00/scaled. Got 4 DU in a row, and made another stride towards those handstands (thanks Sam!) Quads are still feeling the wrath of Karen.

Thanks for everyone's support today! It was great to see so many people this morning!

Rx 3:00.

[6th wonder of the shirtless world!]

RX 2:59

Great job everyone!! So this is like my 7th time doing Fran. And that bitch hasn't changed a bit! 2 years ago I did it RX with 4:07. Then I had done it 2 other times pregnant and the time and weight got lower and slower.

I was so scared to feel the way I do now. I want to barf and my throat burns and I have the taste of metal in my mouth. Yuck!

PR 3:31 so a :36 second pr. The pull ups F*d me up

[Paul]

Fran sucks, Enough said.. First time Rx 9:48, and I know the feeling RO, throat was burning.

[Brian Randazzo]

First time with Fran... 6:37

She definitely sucked but I'm anxious to do her again, I know it can be better hahaha
