CrossFit WOD: "Fran's" ugly cousin...

When I looked at the website today to see what the WOD was, my first reaction was to not go -- I'm tired with baby waking up, stressed with stuff at work, and sore from this week's CrossFit programming (thanks CFCM!)  But no excuses right? Get over it Tyler - this is when people need to dig deep. It is what separates the good and bad eggs.

Anyway, this WOD turned me off because it reminds me a lot like "Fran". The first workout I ever did in CrossFit was "Fran" and I hate "Fran" because I hate thrusters. I'm good at them, but they wear me out like no other. Well, everything wears me out at CrossFit so whatever... Anyway, the WOD today was:
10-20-30 reps for time of

Pullups
Thrusters

My time was 6:58. I can do better and will do better next time. I've been doing 135 lb thrusters for a while and did them slower in the WODs to develop some strength, but today decided on 95 lbs to get the feel of the Rx weight. Good news is that it's light to me now -- bad news is that I can do them faster, thus wearing me out faster. Looking forward to resting, that is all I can say.

Best,
Tyler
