ReplyDeleteI have to admit that initially I was pretty upset about my time. . .I honestly had hopes of coming in around 6-7 minutes. . . but then I had to remind myself that this is the FIRST time that I have taken on Fran at RX, so I'm thrilled to have finished :)
I remember the last time I tried to do 65 lb thrusters (several months ago), I couldn't even get it overhead, and remembered thinking that I'd NEVER be able to push that kind of weight up! So I guess I've come a really long way since then :)
I'm going to set a goal of coming in under 12 the next time we do Fran. . . . and in the meantime I'll be working on my pullup endurance and my thrusters too!
I still feel like the new kid compared to some of you that have been doing crossfit for so long....today I did the thrusters w/55 lbs (same as Friday) and actually felt a little stronger (actually touched the ball more times than not)lol! Pull ups are coming around still jumping and seeing over the bar...only thing I see on the other side is Eduardo and he's always pointing Up! So I have a way to go but I'm lovin it!! Jill
ReplyDeletetime 9'30"03 not rx but one day.....!!
I gotta say I was pretty pissed off this morning. I woke up excited about the workout and thought later on this week I can start running. I got soo motivated by everyone at Beach to Bay. Sad to say, that my toe was hurting me this morning before I started weightlifting. I let that just ruin my workout and I finished slower than my previous Fran time. Did Rx at 7'08 and previous time was 6'24 (i think). Great job to Christie!! You Did Rx. Jill I am there with you, I need my pull-ups to be a lot higher..I'm still working on that.
ReplyDeletePam. Don't be too hard on yourself. That's only about 30 secs off and you have an injury. And, at least you can do your pull ups. I've been worried about Fran all day. LOL. I'll be there at 5:30.
ReplyDeleteIts very common of people to see this short and inofensive girl leaning against the board and their first thought being, I can definitely kick her butt... Little does everyone know that the lil girl bites back in a way very, very surprisingly intense! Thats why i love fran! If you are posting here is because you met her, tell me How was your experience!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCome to play with Fran Rose! She asked about you this morning!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll see you at 5:30 RoseMary, I'll be there to cheer you on, kicking "Fran's" butt!! She definintely deserves it after kicking my butt this morning...lol
ReplyDeleteShe has a long list of butts kicked. . . Specially today! She started this morning with Carlos aka "Marylin Monroe" (dont ask)Jaylene Michelle, Holli, Kelley and the list goes on and on Right Greg! Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are making me want to come back at 5:30 for another shot at her! lol . . . nah. . think I'll go for a run instead ;)
ReplyDeleteBut next time. . . she's MINE!
9:35:??
ReplyDeleteWell, the thrusters were not bad at all. The pull ups however.....Okay 1st round sucked. After 10, I had to get off the bar every little while and the last few were only eyeball height. By the last round, I didn't jump of so much as to stop and swing 2-3 time between each pull up. Can't seem to get that motion right. Good job Robert and Marcus. Matthew did great too. New guy Otha? And also May???. I'll get your names right soon.
yeah today was a great day to quit slackin, thank goodness my bedroom is down stairs lol. thanks E for the great workout.
ReplyDeletethanks good buddy for letting all know my nick name
ReplyDeleteHey Carlos..where have you been? I challenged myself to 500meter Row and very excited because I completed at 1'51 compared to my old record of 1'57. Next time I will complete 500 meter under 1'50..lets say 1'45..huh..that sounds good. Thanks Eduardo to kicking my butt on the Row. Mucho congrats to Roberta, Marcus & Michael who knocked off time from last Fran. Kim great job girl, you moved your way up to 65 lb bar on your last 9 reps..way to go!!
ReplyDeleteMiss ya Sarge!
ReplyDeleteI feel you RoseMary with those Pull-ups..you did great!
ReplyDeleteLos Marylin! Sounds like a lot of Marylins together! By the way, good job keeping your promise of once a year workouts! See ya in 2010! JK! Wednesday will be awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhere is Portland? Somebody say Hola from Portland! Represent!
ReplyDeleteChristie! You need to wake them up!
ReplyDeleteDon't the Portland people come in at 5? They are probably asleep... I'm almost there...Jill
ReplyDeleteGood point! I am on my way to bed too!
ReplyDeleteNight Night everyone! God Bless!
ReplyDeleteWow! Sounds like I should have come back at 5:30 just to watch! Congrats to everyone - sounds like it was a good day!
