So, I have been doing CrossFit for a few months now. We are participating in an Advocare 24 day cleanse and are on day 16. I am feeling good. Looking better and my weight is down almost 12 pounds. Feeling strong, but I digress.
So we are going to do Fran today. For those of you who don't know, some of CrossFit's more common workouts are named. Some are named after men, some women and some for the event they are created for. Real funny names sometimes. Filthy Fifty is one of my personal favorites. No, not the workout, the name. Big difference.
Anyway, today was Fran. 21-15-9 of thrusters and pull-ups. I can't do a pull-up, so I do ring rows.
We had a bunch of ladies in our class today which means the 15# bars went fast. I ended up with what I thought was a 33# bar. No prob. Since this was my first Fran, I was told to start at 35#, then add weight as I needed. So I tossed on 2 2.5#, tested the weight and called it good.
Away we went. The first 21 thrusters were ok, the second 15 were tougher, by the last 9 I thought I just may die.
But I finished. 5:56. Not too shabby for my first Fran.
We were stretching after and noticed my trainer had put my time and 50# next to my name. I thought "Sure, that looks good, but I need to come clean and let her know I only did 38#."
Still stretching, it dawns on me that what I thought was a 33# bar that I grabbed, was actually a 45# bar, so I really did do the 50# thrusters.
Ha. I would never have willingly done that much, but I still did it.
Funny. Maybe I should always blindly pick my bars. Never know what you really can do when you get your mind out of the way!
