120222 - FRAN
Total brain fart on my part, forgot to fill you all in on my Fran time.
I haven’t attempted Fran since June 2010. And back then, I used only the 35# barbell and the big band for pull ups.
On February 22nd, I RX-d Fran for the first time and I am happy with my time. Very rare for me to be content with my time/performance (sadly).
WOD:
FRAN
21-15-9
Thrusters
Pull ups
6:00 RX
Oh Camille…you have such a beautiful butterfly…..and are a BEAST doing it in less than half my time.
120125 - The Deceiver WOD
An oldie but a goodie. This is around the time when I got to Level 1 badass in pushups at 25 reps.
Strength: Strict Press 3×5
55x5, 65x5, 70x3 - disappointed I couldn’t finish the last set.
WOD
“The Deceiver”
Push ups 20/15/10/5
Wall Balls 5/10/15/20
Time: 6:30 RX
I swear that I’ve done this WOD before but I can’t seem to find record of it and I stupidly threw out my old WOD book when I moved.
I stalled on wall balls. Should’ve been able to string them better.
120120 - OC Throwdown 2012 Floater WOD

Strength/Skill:
Front Squat
3 x 5
55#, 85#, 105# (I took it easy for I was recovering from sickness)
WOD:
2012 OC THROWDOWN FLOATER WOD
Kettle bell (72/53)
Burpees
15/12/9
rest 2 minutes
Kettle bell
Burpees
12/9/6
Time: [must check notebook for time, i forget] RX
Now kids, these weren’t regular burpees. These were burpees over a barbell. So down you go, up and over the barbell, then down again, and that’s one. I think had I not been sick, I could have done it faster.
120118 - An RX Kind of Day
Even without knowing the WOD, I wore this shirt yesterday morning that I bought at the OC Throwdown from Life as RX - may I just add that it’s super comfortable.
WOD
3 Rounds for time:
20 Pushups
40 Squats
10 Pullups
10 Burpees
40 Abmats
Time: 16:44 RX
Hardest part was pushing through those push ups and the last set of abmat situps! Hands still a bit delicate since the tear two-timing, but I love bodyweight WOD’s!
111207 - I Did Big Cindy
Whoa daddy. Big Cindy’s a big bitch, but I still kind of love her.
“Big Cindy” WOD - AMRAP 20 Minutes
15 pull ups
30 pushups
45 squats
3 rounds + 8 pull ups, RX
PLUS
1 mi run…I did 1/2 mi because 1) calf got very tight (hence the picture of me rolling it out at work) and 2) out of time, had to get ready for work!
Overall I am happy with my rounds and the fact that I RX’d it!
Guess who rose at the butt crack of dawn and made it to CrossFit 310 for the 6 a.m. class? ME.
WOD - 15 min AMRAP
300m row
30 wall balls (20#/14#)
4 rounds RX’d
Something I hate to admit, but that I know has happened, is that I have gotten slightly weaker since I haven’t been able to make it to class as often as I would like (or as I used to). This was brutal for me. Had I been conditioned and steadily going, I know I could have pulled more rounds.
Many thanks to Coach Kris and Rey for helping me push through.
CrossFit 110712 - Again
Oh hello WOD I haven’t done since May 3, 2010, only about a month after starting CrossFit. And it wasn’t easier this time around. Well, there’s reason for that.
skill work:
blood oath
snatch work
med ball cleans
WOD:
3 rounds
10 Med Ball Clean (20/14lb)
400m run
10 Deadlifts (135/85lb)
12:55 RX - Granted, there was technically a cap at 12 minutes but I kept going and was allowed to. Longer than my last time but I also used heavier weights / med ball. This time, it was the running and the med ball cleans that did me dirty. I said it back then, and I’ll say it again, I need to work on my running.
