Losing my CrossFit virginity....

I have a secret. A carefully guarded secret. Up until this morning, I was a CrossFit virgin. I, your coach and friend, had never done a rx'd Fran. Like, ever....
 

 
Seriously. I went to my Level 1 with my fingers in a splint. I left the splint at the hotel but was not allowed to hang from the bar, so I did jumping pull-ups. I got my kipping pull-ups not long before I went and we had just done Fran a month or two prior. I used a green band.
 
Then it was programmed when I was in Ohio and once more when I was in St. Louis. Since then, I have dabbled with Aqua Fran, Body weight Fran and probably some suckfest hybrids like a Frangie or Frelen. But, no Fran.
 
I have done GI Jane, Murph, the Open. But when people talk about their Fran time, I STFU. Which is a miracle within itself. It was my secret CrossFit shame. Until today.
 
Now, it may not be an epic Fran time. I won't be winning any t-shirts or Firebreather awards, but it is MINE! And if there was a 10 minute cut-off, I now know I wouldn't DNF.
 
Like I said, it is not epic. It was 8:52. But it is mine and I hide in shame no more! I HAVE A FRAN TIME!!!!!!!! And next time I meet that chick, I'm gonna beat my time!
 
 
So feel free to ask me about my Fran time. I actually have one now!
 
Makes you wanna dance!
