Crossfit: Because why stop at a punishing group ride?

Finished the competitor’s training only 6 minutes slower than my last Fran workout. No complaints.
Have to say this workout had me scared. This is a big build time for triathlon training. Hit big PRs for CF total and showed well at the other competitor WOD (i.e. not last). Rode 2 hours fast this morning. Definitely not bringing my A game to the gym today. Then my trainer asked me if I “had this” and my honest response was: I’m scared. I’m stubborn enough to finish it but who knows if my muscles will fail. In my head I was thinking 40 minutes.

Even tired and cranky I finished closer to 20.

The smackdown still has me worried but I’m not afraid. The progress I’ve made this year is amazing and I’ll be proud to earn last in the Rx’d category. This time last year I could not do a pullup. Now I can Rx Long Fran. And, who knows. I’m not the strongest girl in the world but 3 workouts/day is something I do every week.

Pace, it may never change. Heck I have a whole group of friends who didn't know me back then. Still can't let it go.
