FRAN...THE AFTERMATH

Fran: 21/15/9 reps of thrusters and pull-ups.

They all got their Fran on. Fran sucks.

Men Will Die For Points

One of the many reasons why Crossfit works is the fact that we keep score. There is a routine that most Crossfitters follow. You walk into the box, you look at the workout on the dry erase board, and then you look at the results that were posted before you got there. You know the names you are looking for. Maybe you look to see what the gym studs and studdettes did. Maybe you look to see what someone at your level of fitness did. Maybe you don't care because you know how you did the last time, and now you want to best yourself.

Crossfit made fitness a sport. Once you put a score on something, it becomes a competition. When you Crossfit, you experience the purest form of competition because ultimately, you are competing against yourself. When you compete against yourself, it goes way beyond the score. It is a test of your mental fortitude. How far are you willing to go to kick your own ass?

6:27 for my Fran time yesterday. I think my last time was 7 something so I'm pretty sure this was a PR! I went to eat afterwards and my hand was still a little shaky when I picked up my cup! haha

Isn't that the best feeling though? When you know the workout's over and all the pain you are feeling is because you just pushed your body as hard as you possibly could. After I catch my breath and make sure I'm still alive, I do enjoy it ;o)

That's funny to see that video on your site. That was filmed almost two years ago at the the country club Travis and I worked at. I forgot about that clip completely. This was within the first month or two that I started CrossFit. The shirt I was wearing that day said, "Welcome to the Gun Show" with arrows pointing to the arms. At the time it was my second favorite workout shirt right behind my "Arnold is Numero Uno" ringer.

That would be an awesome shirt!!!

Fran still makes me more nervous than any other workout. But I had a good Fran day yesterday and took a minute off my previous time...Yeah! Plus it was my first "real" One World class. Thanks Will!! Good times. Looking forward to more. You guys rock!

I'm not sorry for the burpees guys. After some discussion from some unnamed yet respected folks, I've decided to crack down on all the late comers to my class, as they've become more frequent recently. I don't like making everyone wait, disrupting the flow of the class while the stragglers come in.
I have only a couple hours out of your 168 hour week to train you guys, and I wanna make sure they're done right.
I love and respect all of you gals and guys, but GET TO CLASS ON TIME, PLEASE!
