Benchmarks

They say that there are certain Crossfit workouts that indicate a persons level of fitness, a base line if you will. Some of these workouts are: Angie, 10km run, the Crossfit Total and of course, Fran which was this evenings feature. For me Fran has always been a dreadful experience that causes me the butterflies and I think that that's because I know that everything you've got must be condensed into about 3 minutes. If you leave anything out your time quickly wracks up and it turns into a huge percentage of the total. My previous times have ranged in the mid 3 minute mark, a decent time but nothing to be jubilant about. Tonight my goal is under 3 minutes.

Warmed up with:

400m Run
30 push-ups
400m Run
30 pull-ups
400m Run
30 dips

Good stretch and 30 dowel overhead squats

Tonight was a special one so I had Leslie come down and be my little cheering section. Its amazing what somebody will try to prove for a pretty girl.

Fran:
21-15-9 of Thrusters & Pull-ups

Time: 2 min 55 sec

I really tried to pump all sets out continuous and only feel off of the pull-up bar on rep 11 of 15. This WOD really left my lungs burning and took me several minutes till I felt like I could continue with my strength routines.

After I did a bunch of handstands, I'm going to get the balance down for these guys! Deadlifts were the next order of business then some handstand push-ups finishing off with some lovely good-mornings.

It was a good day.
