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!
Congrats :-) First time I did "Fran," I had just barely learned to kip one pull-up at a time. I used a band to start and got so frustrated with the way the band pulled my feet forward that I said "I don't care how long it takes me, I am never using that #@!$% band again!" So it took me about nine minutes and I never used another band! Yay! -Fran (my real name) in Seattle
