CrossFit Day 44
Today’s workout is a standard benchmark workout, called “Fran.” Fran requires three rounds for time (with 21, 15, and 9 reps per round) of thrusters and pullups. I did my work with a pair of 30 pound dumbbells and jumping pullups.
My time was longer than I’d have liked, because in the middle of my first set of thrusters, my heart rate monitor strap lost contact and it would sporadically read my heart rate. After some time of fussing with it, getting it all wet, getting my chest all wet, and losing about two minutes to messing with my technology, it started working correctly. Onward!
I’m still not very good at the kipping pullups, but I can get four deadhang pullups on the high bar. In order to keep the intensity up and complete this workout in less than three hours, I did jumping pullups from the lower bar. My touch on the ground is getting lighter and lighter and I’m sure I’ll get a full set of pullups soon.
Sadly, I took a lot longer than I intended to, but most of that involved me yelling at technology that I expect to be accurate. Oh, well, no sense whining about it. Fix the issue, overcome the obstacle, and march on.
My results: 22:59, 9:37 zone (hard); HR: 159 avg, 176 max; 256 cal
