This, kids, is a very special day.
This is the day we celebrate "Fran" – a notorious CrossFit workout, maligned 'round the world. Fran is quick, dirty, and unskilled. She's the subject of essays and poems and hundreds of YouTube features.
Today, 20 teams of two athletes will compete at "Fran" in a tournament – style format. For those not in the 'know,' "Fran" is:
21 Thrusters with 95lbs – 21 Pullups
15 Thrusters with 95lbs – 15 Pullups
9 Thrusters with 95lbs – 9 Pullups
…for time. Full meet rules are here.
The Park gym will resume its regular hours at NOON. Spectators are permitted; loud spectators are welcomed with open arms. Media will be present. Cost is a donation to the Food Bank (food donations, please.)
The gun goes off at 8am sharp. We'll announce the order of competition at 7:55am; please be ready to roll. See you under the bar!
