Ahhhh Saturday, what a beauty of day, I just wish i could have been at the zoo. Instead i ran into the freight train we ve come to know simply as Fran. This was my first time doing this benchmark work out and it didnt disappoint. I had the butterflies in my stomach in anticipation for this hellacious ride. I got to watch Sterling do it first, mainly because i sneakily nominated him to start it off and Holy Fuck did he storm right through like the true firebreather he is. The bad ass did it in 3:53. Ill even go as far to say he made it look easy and i really would have thought it wasnt as bad as everyone made it out to be if i didnt have to look at how he felt after it was over. So with him done it was my turn as John learning a trick i used nominated me to go next. 3..2...1.. GO! what a rush. I managed to do all 21 thrusters and chinups in a row non stop but thats where i started to lose steam. Everything after that got broken up and by the last set of chinups it was nearly impossible to grip the bar to pull myself up. Needless to say i chalked up quite a bit. After finishing i collapsed to the ground with my forearms absolutely pumped. I kept trying to lay in a comfortable position but it just wasnt happening so i ended up trying to walk it off. Recovery was a slow process after that work out. My time as Rx'd was 5:19 but i feel i can improve on that if i just try it a couple of more times. Oh how i love the way we tourcher our bodies and minds through crossfit. The battle will never end.
