Frailure is NOT an option

This fine Sunday morning I met my fellow Team Phoenix members at Austin High School's track for a run through of the benchmark workout Fran. In case you are not familiar with this nasty lady the workout goes a little something like this:

21 Thrusters
21 Pull-ups

15 Thrusters
15 Pull-ups

9 Thrusters
9 Pull-ups

Erika Jeanne, participating in the 5 week Fran Challenge, has declared FRAILURE is not an option. Sometimes the anticipation of a challenge can get you mentally psyched out. When this happens, sometimes the best thing you can do to stop over-thinking it is to just jump right in. So I showed up to cheer Anna and Erika on with a stop watch, some pull-ups bands, a barbell, and a "Frailure is not an option" attitude.

I'm proud of my Team Phoenix members for putting their ALL into this workout. Anna, who has only been crossfitting for 3 months rocked out all her pull-ups on the blue band (for those of you who don't know what the blue band is...let's just say it took me a year to get to the blue band...so it's bad-ass). And Erika rocked out her Fran at the Elite level, all pull-ups unassisted. Way to go ladies!One thing is for sure...both these ladies RIPPED IT UP.....literally!
