WOD 9/24/12

"Fran"

21-15-9
Thrusters (65 lbs rx'd womens)
pull ups

To put it simply, this WOD really blows. Mainly because its a lot of effort across a short period of time. In some people's cases, a REALLY short period of time (like...two minutes). I obviously did not go that fast and I *almost* made my goal, which was to complete in sub seven minutes. I did it in 7:04. Which, for my first time ever doing this WOD as prescribed, I'm fairly happy with. My weakness really lies in my pull ups. Towards the end they were slooooooooow. I think I just need to get on the bar more after workouts and really practice them because its a strength and technique issue. But the thrusters felt fairly good. I made it through the first 21 unbroken, and ended up being the first off the barbell which is pretty much...a first, lol. Definitely lost the lead at the pull ups though. And then my next sets of thrusters had to be broken up. But, the 65lbs did not feel unmanageable at all, which was nice. So next time, goal is definitely to get within the six minute range.

However, it must be said that I beat my last Fran time by 40 seconds! Woot. And that wasn't as prescribed either. So at least there is some improvement.
