Day 112 – Fran, you’re still a bitch

In Daily BadAss Recap on November 4, 2009 at 11:18 am

Tuesday my attitude got a little better.

Sorry about the negativity the past few posts. You know it is, yo! It’s a journey. Haven’t reached Destination BadAss yet.

I noticed I haven’t posted any pictures in a while.

Here’s one of me and Kristen at Halloween. I was a cowgirl — because I am cheap and didn’t want to buy anything new. Yes, I already own a flannel shirt.

Tuesday afternoon I showed up to the gym to find that “FRAN” was the workout of the day. Fran is arguably the most famous of all CrossFit workouts. It’s 21-15-9 Thrusters and Pull-ups. Women do 65# thrusters and men do 95# thrusters. For some reason the combo of Thrusters and Pull-ups brings pukie on real fast.

I didn’t puke, but I didn’t do the thrusters straight through, either. I took a lot of breaks… but was still able to beat my last PR by a minute. Total time 8:44. I want to get around 7 minutes one day – that would be awesome.

Not the best form, my back should be more upright with chest up

I’m sure the real-life Fran is a nice woman… but to CrossFitters, she’s a real bitch of a workout.


  1. I have yet to get a respectable Fran time. Kudos to you. I’m aiming for under 10 mins. by the end of the year.

  2. Thera, you are already pretty bad ass. Bad days/weeks happen.

    Love you!

  3. Hmmm, you can rustle up my horses!

  4. A) I have friends who specialize in flannel. True story.
    B) You seriously kicked Fran’s ass. BA.
