Thrusters broken starting with the third round, pull-ups with the second. Need to work on pull-ups, I think I've been ignoring them a bit and definitely suffering the consequences.

I was very close to quitting after the first two rounds of thrusters/pull-ups. 75 pounds seems light but after you get your heart rate up each rep is progressively more taxing. I forgot how much I love/hate thrusters: they're a dynamic squat variant that also works the shoulders and arms. Had no idea what to shoot for when I started, once I was in it I just wanted to finish +/- without puking.

Damn, I never thought I would say that I would rather do Fran ...

Took guts, nice work.

To be honest, I didn't think about th e connection to Fran until after the first two rounds - at that precise moment, Fran sounded so much more attractive.

Fran showed up the CF front page today, guess someone felt left out ...
