The Fast and the Furious

Friday, September 4;

I needed something fast.  Very fast.  I got off of work early on Friday, which means I could squeeze in a workout before heading out for the night.  The obvious choice is Fran.  It's the quickest workout I can think of.  

The last time I did this one it took me 7:39 to complete.  I was hoping I have cut some time off of that score by now.  My pre-surgery PR on this one was 7:09.  I got in and got right to it.  Did some warming up and put the weight on the bar.  I was ready to go.  

The goal in the first round is always to get each round done without dropping the bar or getting off of the bar.  I did that just fine for the first round.  21 straight Thrusters and 21 straight pullups.  Solid.. took a few deep breaths and went back to the barbell.  Picked it up and did one rep.  I dropped the bar once in this round.  Same thing with the pullups.  Final round.  My goal was to get a sub 6 minute Fran.  I started the final round at 5:00.  Should be easy, right?  Just 18 reps to go in one minute.  I broke the final 9 reps into 3 sets of 3 and did the same with the pullups.  Missed my goal by about 30 seconds.  I said I'd be happy with a sub 7 minute Fran, and I am.  I'm also pretty sure that I can break that sub 6 minute goal as my shoulder endurance improves.

Next First Friday!
