6:30 w/ green band and 55#
I’d like to knock 30sec off next time.

Thanks CFC for the WOD, this was fun!


7-something. Should have gone heavier on the thrusters…wrist injury/back injury has taken away some confidence. I WIIILLLL do as rx’d next time!

MOD FRAN: 8:48 – 15-9-6
# 55 Thrusters and Pull ups

First time doing this workout, Was bought back to reality that crossfit is not for the faint hearted.

would like give out a big thank you to CFC for the work out!


55lbs and pink band PU (Equivalent to the new purple bands at the facility)
7:39

June/09 was 45lbs and pink band PU in 10:31


65 lbs
7:32
Surprisingly pull-ups were the weak link – sets of 2 or 3 after first unbroken 15.
Thruster sets were split in two – short rests.
Keep this weight for next time and go for unbroken sets.


Jasmine – CFLA

First time for Fran, just my second week with CrossFit.
Need to really work on kipping
Thanks for the WOD, looking forward to seeing progress next time.


as rx’d 12:02 same time as Hughie. could have been a little faster but missed several pull ups on the last round just couldn’t get the chin high enough.

Thanks for the push Taylor and Derek!


Hey Crossfit Lethbridge….. dont think this is going to just go down without any sort or reply….. You might get a busload of CFC peeps at your door one day here ready to rumble on whatever you cook up… its on baby


Chad and Katrina and all Crossfit Lethbridger’s, thanks for “invading” our WOD. Was great to see all you guys posting. It definitely added to our members motivation to have you guys competing with us on this WOD. We will have to do this again in the future! Cheers.


5:41 as rx’d


Ryan AKA – Shammy

Scaled Fran #75 (hockey injury) – Time 7:26

After starting Crossfit in January of this year I wouldn’t have been able to finish the WOD. Now I’m looking forward to trying it required in a couple of months when I’m 100%. You bet I’ll tackle Fran. We had a great turnout tonight for our 5 pm class. Everyone was great, pushing each other. I had a lot of fun, as always. I look forward to seeing a bus load of Calgary Cross-fitters in our gym. See you soon.


Kathy – CFLA

Fran mod: 5:35

This was my second go-round with Fran and am happy with a faster time and a little heavier weight this time around. I’ll be even more prepared for her the next time.

Thanks for letting us sneak in our your wod today CFC. It made this challenging wod even better, knowing that you guys were doing it too.


Terri-CFLA
mod-9:53
used55#’s and green band, as always she’s a toughie. Nice work on all the PR’s everyone! Thanks for the wod CFC!


7:58 as rx’d (last time was 8:57). Can’t complain, but I feel I can do better. This one today was after a wholle weekend in bed with high fever. I should be able to do better next time. pull ups are easy as I have lost some weight, thrusters were very heavy! There is always a trade off in this life.
