Fran Off 2010

See you next year.

The final two teams



Chad + Shaun = $2000





Lydia + Gary - 2 pull ups= $0

     





In the end two teams were left standing.  Lydia (Crossfit Oakland) and Gary (Rocklin Crossfit) rolled in to the finals undefeated.  Lydia was in charge of dominating the thrusters, and Gary was crushing teams all day when he got on the pull up bar.  Meanwhile, Chad and Shaun took the hard road to the finals.  They went through the losers bracket and had to do 8 Frans to take the title.  They lost in the first round, to a team they would later beat in the semi-finals.  When the dust cleared they beat Lydia and Gary by just 2 pull ups to take home the title, and make it rain with $2000.
