Fran = 4:18! 5 minute PR from last August!
“This stuff really works!”
-Bobby Noyce
Wow. Very nice.
Last night came in and did:
Grace – 1:59 (PR by 17 seconds)
Don’t drop your baby – 8:24
Looking forward to giving Fran a go again today.
“Fran” as Rx’d – 3:59 (PR by 16 sec)
Wow Taylor, crazy watching you do “Small” this morning for you first ever Hero WOD and like 5th ever CrossFit WOD. I knew you could do it, but am still VERY impressed and amazed!! I hope you can move tomorrow 😉
And I have a mom that can do Fran in under 8:00! How cool is that?!?!?
Fran as rx’d – 4:07 … PR by 8 seconds, but not too happy. Thrusters went pretty well, but I could not get in a rhythm on kipping pull-ups. So priority / goal #1 for me now is to get stupid good at butterfly pull-ups.
So is it an equal part of stupid and good? Because I have the stupid part down!
Fran as rx’d: 6:20. A PR of 14 seconds. Kind of disappointed in myself. Thought I could break 6. Upset that I set the bar down twice during my round of 15. Need to be stronger in the head.
FRAN – 3:14
– Billy thanks for the FRAN OFF my friend!
Wow – nice, Ash! What did Billy get?
He got 3:00 flat!
You fools are ridiculous! We need to get some more team events going.
FO SHO!!!!
Fran as Rx’d – 2:28 (PR by 2 seconds)
Nailed my chin on my last pull-up in the 1st round, then I watched as blood rolled down my face the rest of the workout, and then I fell off the bar on my last pull-up AGAIN 🙁 Fran put up a fight with me today, to say the least.
Awesome job everyone this morning! It was really fun watching everyone kill this workout!
Waiting for the video…
Oh our good friend Fran. We got along fairly well this morning – 3:55. Finally broke that 4 min mark. Great way to start a dreary tuesday. Below is my documented love affair with Fran:
7/20/10 – 8:07
9/21/10 – 4:47
1/29/11 – 4:28
6/14/11 – 3:55
Very nice.
2:35
Passed out and took a 15 minute nap on the gym floor afterward. Woke up, was super light-sensitive, and had the hiccups.
Fran does weird things to me.
Do you still have both your kidneys? Suspicious scars?
LOL. No scars but my shoes were missing and I saw Bart’s Hummer screaming out of the lot. We knew he was envious of the Inov8 crew all along…
At least you didn’t soil yourself like last time….Good work out of you though.
ಠ_à²
lol
Fran – 2:41. Over a minute PR from just a few months ago at the Arnold and over a 3 minute PR from the first time I did this at the beginning of the year. Thanks for the push Bobby and Will!
Dude you’re insane! Nice work
Thanks Justin! Huge PR’s from you too. Awesome to see the progress over time and to echo Adam…..this stuff works.
Was awesome to watch. I couldn’t believe the time as you started that last set of pullups.
Fran – 6:34 – PR by 1:31 from January
Yesterday Back Squat x 3 – 135, 155, 185, 225, 245 – PR by 10#
Dont Drop your Baby – 16:28 – My abs are STILL torn up from this
“Fran” Rx’d – 3:00
This one was fun, good work Ash!!!
Certified BEAST!
“Badger” as Rx’d- 24:16 (PR by 12:23 from April 2010!)
Wow, what an awesome day at 515 today! Congrats to everyone who set PRs or had their first experience with Fran. CrossFit and the people at 515 continue to amaze me and I’m so thankful to get to be a part of it everyday, especially days like today 🙂
First Fran!
Rx’d 13:24
I’m feeling a very strong PR coming next time:)
YEA!!! So badass to be able to do Fran rx’d when you’re that new to crossfit. You are going to be a CF freak soon!
