Fran is a six-time USA National Champion who took his pool speed to the open water. Since then, he’s made a habit of medaling in international races. He took gold in the 2007 Pan American Games and a bronze in the 2009 world championships in the 10K. Recently, he amazed the open water world by coming back from a 200m deficit to win the 2010 FINA 10K World Cup (he got caught in an upstream tide). Most people can’t run a 10K, let alone swim one… In his downtime, he runs the NYC marathon. Freak.
