Pull-ups

3:48 (Rx’d) Nearly a 3 minute PR!

Coming in today I was 50/50 on working out. My arms are still tired from Cindy last week, and my legs were a bit sore from the hellish wod yesterday... but when I saw Fran on the white board today, lets just say shit was on!

Last time I attempted fran was on benchmark makeup day back in July! I had two weeks to think about it and I thought I could go sub 5. I wasn’t ready for a sub 5 fran at that time and it showed.... she beat me up! I was so mad that to this day its the only blog post I couldn’t bring myself to write! Looking back that Fran has taught me a lot about CrossFit and I am thankful for it!

Today was a complete success. I know this may sound weird but I was not even tired after I finished. I fell down with complete joy and relief. The relief in knowing that all this work I have put in on pull-ups and grip is paying off! Very similar to how I felt after Grace.

Even with my shitty ass nutrition this last week and a whole bunch of physical labor over the last few days I went sub 4 on Fran! She beat me the first round, I beat her this time.... round 3?

The thrusters were unbroken and fairly easy. The last few reps of 15 hurt a bit but I think thats the leftovers from yesterday. The pull-ups were strong but definitely not as strong as they could have been if I was fresh.

My progression went like this:

                21=8-7-5-1 (goal was 8-7-6, so close)

                15=5-3-3-2-2 (not to strong)

                9=3-3-1-1-1( next time this will be unbroken!)

I feel great and am really optimistic about my next Fran! Round 3 will be sub 3 and I will beat her again! Gotta develop that butterfly so I can do the pull-ups unbroken and catch Colin! (Link to Video)
