Metcon:
"Fran"
21-15-9 reps of:
- Thrusters (95/65)
- Pull Ups
For the thrusters, working to a heavy single will make the metcon weight feel light. My best ever Fran time was after maxing out in the thruster.
Today's metcon will be another test that we will do again after the next three months of training. The energy required for a proper "Fran" will draw from the glycolytic pathway, which is equal parts anaerobic and aerobic. Any physical efforts lasting in the 2-5 minutes range. If you scale this WOD, you will ideally scale it to be able to finish within this time frame.
Post weights and times to the comments section! bc
