thanks

My second Fran in 3 days...not a good idea

As Rx'd 3:07, nonetheless I still PR'd, what a coincidence

Sub 3 is on the surface

M/19/175/5'9"

[hamburger]

13:25 as Rx'd

This is my first time doing a WOD, and my first crossfit experience since SEAL Fit Challenge Class 2

HOO-YAH!!!

[deadly nedly]

also my 2nd fran in 3 days... 7:46 chest to bar

[rstorck27]

As rx'd: 2:34*

*I feel like I should mention that I unloaded last week. Did all WOD as rx'd but did them slow w/ lots of rest. Needed a little break. Needless to say, I was well rested and "chomping at the bit" for todays WOD.

Did a mini PST after...

Max push ups in 2 mins: 92
Max sit ups in 2 mins: 98
Dead hang pull ups: 17

[kieffelm]

rstorck27

That's impressive. Isn't the current record right at around 2:00 or a little under. If you can shave 30 sec off you could beat it. Nice work!

[deadly nedly]

well at least our PST looks the same... :mad:

[toziongoesi69]

Current record is a 2:02 put up on Crossfit.com website Thursday the 26th. Its the one Dive Doc put up. Watch it, oh four days before the guy Josh got his Budweiser put on.

Time 5:08

[rstorck27]

Thanks fellas. I had to take a minute to make sure I did it right. Didn't have a medicine ball to touch on the squat so used 7 risers instead. Touched every time... Pretty sure it was a regulation Fran.

Any of you guys in Chicago? I'm looking for a partner to crush some of these WODs w/.

[wcor]

crazy time rstorck, good for you

Time: 3:10 for me today.

I love how fran is so short but after you feel like you put in a good hour at the gym. Well, at least thats what it feels like for me.

keep up the good work

[cpetersnd]

did it in 3:40... PR for me as well...
I would rather take 3 helen's back to back, or 3 PST's than a Fran - it leaves my lungs just screaming afterwards

[da_runner]

:D :confused: Well I have to report da_runner sucked out loud today.

Fran as rx'd 15:07 let me tell ya'll like a friend, it is so hard to post my pathetic time when I see such magnificent times posted by you guys.

1st and foremost

WOW!! for those awesome times. It is great to be amongst you fellas. I learn a lot.

back to me.. :D followed with a run in the southern humidity and heat. My heartrate never came down like I thought it would. Ran for 18:22.

Not my fastest. not as rx'd.

See ya tomorrow.

[jmidd]

Crap, I just looked at the workout, and I did it backwards. I did pullups first, then thrusters....

Wow on the times. I knew I sucked today, but wow. I was tired going in, but was actually looking forward to a Fran workout. Oddly enough, I was actually going to recommend doing one this week. I was on vacation last week, so I'm hoping my pathetic workout was a result of laying low.

Fran time - 7:53. After the first set of pullups, I jumped down to do the thrusters, and I couldn't believe how winded I was. I shouldn't have been that bad that early. It just wasn't my day. I may have to come back and do this one again this week.

Ran afterwards. Dead legs. Nice heat and humidity. I've got a triathlon in less than 3 weeks, so I've got to get some time in on the bike and some more running. Can't let my sister beat me...

[gmt-nyc]

Nice times rstork, sam, cpeter and wcor! Rstork, ya got me beat by 0:22! I may be on the IR for 4-6 weeks stuck doing MUs, Pull-ups of all varieties and ring dips... but rest assured I'm still monitoring the competition ;)

[rstorck27]

Hey GMT:

Read about the IR. Sorry to hear it. Get well soon.

[sean4922]

First time and knocked it out in 7:27. Very excited and felt like I got kicked in the balls at the same time. It's great. The only one I like better is "daniel"

[parishke]

Fran time=2:36

Nice time rstorck, beat me by 2 seconds! This was my second Fran in a week.
I did this last Monday when the site was down on 2:48.

Also, did part of the running. 0.75 mile in 4:28. Did not do the 1.5 mile, or 3 mile runs due to time constraints.

[bch0021]

5:29

PR is 4:43

Not bad after a weekend of too much beer and ****ty food :eek: along with it being 100 degrees at the house today. Tends to get a little warm in the garage. Good times none the less!

The times posted here are incredible.

As rx'd - 15:51

I'm a small guy and that 95 pound bar just felt so heavy. I also lost my wind very quickly from the thrusters. At least my time will be easy to beat next time I do it!

FYI the 2nd fastest Fran recorded is held by a guy who weighs 135#.

Thrusters used to kill me too. My recommendation: do front squats 5x5 and shoulder press 5x5 max effort once a week. The stronger you get, it will become easier.

[cbrittendahl]

Great times guys!

I Started with an untimed swim just to get used to the water again. The first 250m was form adjustment, but once I was dialed in, the swim went great. The different running intervals have definitely been helping me. I ended up swimming a little over 1000 yards in ~20min.

Then did the Fran workout: 5:05 (not great, but getting better).

Sorry to hear about the injurey GMT; best wishes for a speedy recovery.
