Fran and out of town wods w/ a lil competition too

Been super busy at work lately and have realized that the one thing that gets me through the stress is crossfit.  Last Thursday "Fran" came out of the hopper on the crossfit bethesda programming.  I'd been waiting/looking forward to this for awhile.  I was pretty nervous.  It was going to be my first attempt at doing it prescribed.  I kept my diet super strict in the 24 hours before the wod and I crushed an extra 2 eggs around 4pm to have added energy.

At 6:30pm, I performed Fran 21-15-9...thrusters at 95 lb. and pullups....with a time of 6 minutes and 2 seconds.  Breakdown: 21 thrusters (15-6), 21 pullups (11-5-5), 15 thrusters (9-6), 15 pullups (6-5-4), 9 thrusters (6-3), 9 pullups (5-4).  I was pretty frickin' excited about this. 

This weekend I went to the beach and hit a couple morning "out of town wods" which crossfit bethesda programs everyday.  Saturday was mostly running with a 21-15-9 of the triplet, jumping squats, bench dips, and situps. 

Sunday's wod was as follows:
Run 400 meters
20 walking lunges
Run 400 meters
30 walking lunges
Run 400 meters
40 walking lunges
Run 400 meters
50 walking lunges

I did this wod competing against Kopit, whose been doing P90x (aka man aerobics) for the past 2 years or so.  In the last couple weeks I've convinced him that he needs to be doing crossfit.  Anyway, Kopit is still probably a better runner than me.  He passed me on this wod around the third 400 meter run.  I caught up to him, though, on the last 50 walking lunges and beat him by 14 seconds.  It was a pretty awesome feeling competing...and winning against someone who was in a lot better shape than me 4 months ago. 

My goals for August: 5x week cf bethesda programming (check), max pullups 35 (haven't tested yet), tabata squats 144 (haven't tested yet), do an unassisted ring dip (can do 10, check).

Chen, that's a crazy bike story.  I need to be more careful when I ride my bike.  Glad you're okay.
