the real f word

the first time i did fran it was with 45#thrusters and jumping pullups. it was the worst four minutes and thirty nine seconds of my life. but i remember leaving thinking...if i can just someday do this rx'd i will be the happiest person ever.

the first time i did it with the rx'd weight it took me ten minutes and it brought the suck factor to a whole new level. today i did my first legit rx'd fran. (i'd done one with questionable pullups right when i was finally getting pullups down). i should be ecstatic right?

the competitive nature of crossfit pushes you to do better than you think you ever could. people that thrive in that environment have a strong desire to "win". which can be a good thing because it pushes you even more...if you don't believe this workout on your own a few times vs with someone who is fairly well matched with you. my problem with it is when you aren't happy with your successes if they're not as good as someone else's success. that's just stupid. so i'm going to quit going over all the things i could do next time to be faster(ah if i could only kip consecutively) and instead let the girl from 10 months ago be happy she did it rx'd.

oddly enough, this is a tie for time using this weight and that one was with jumping pullups.
