Three rounds, 21-15- and 9 reps, for time of:
95 pound Thruster
Pull-ups
Post time to comments.
We have a new pull up standard at Crossfit Kinnick. Just like at the Crossfit Games your chest must hit the bar below the collar bone.
Lets play a little word association game. What is the first word that pops into your hear the name FRAN?…

I don’t think of a word but rather the picture of the guy with orange curly hair and a crooked smile from the game “Guess Who?” whose name is “Frans”. I know it’s named after a girl but hey - I played that game a lot growing up.

BLOOD. Unfortunately that’s all I see on my hands the last time I attempted ‘Fran.’ I need to get back in your facility. Perhaps tomorrow morning?!

It would be great to have you back at the box Kristen!!
The first thing that comes to mind for me when I think of FRAN is a slim, strong, tough, rough, german lady who laughs at me and spits in my face after doing her wod. She has a baton of sorts and I swear she hits me in the ribs and knocks the wind out of me during the set of 15 pull ups and thrusters cause for some reason I cant breathe at that time…go figure. And definitely some clown action….

Well I’m going to skip the 15k and track back to this one and start from here. Chest pullups are going to be hard.

Pull-up bars covered in plastic are hard to grip I’ve found out.
