Fran's a crossfit benchmark, but also has a terrible reputation within the community. I would guess people talk about her more than any other workout, and not in a flattering way. And yes, she's tough. And yes, I don't have the ability to string together 21 butterfly pull ups, so this WOD isn't perfectly suited for me, but I also don't HATE Fran. I was really nervous walking to the box this morning, knowing I had to do Fran, but I think that was only because people hate on her so much. Yes, the WOD didn't feel good. But you know what, neither does ripping off a plaster (yank translation: band-aid). My goal was sub-6, so I'm pleased enough. Is that time good enough to get me to the games? Hells no. But I'll revisit her again soon and see if I can work my way to the 4 minute range.
