First "real" Workout

Short, sweet, and to the point...

How can I sum up my first CrossFit experience? Well, let's put it this way... I could of gotten jumped, beaten up, and then kicked several times while I was down by a herd of people and I'd probably feel the same amount of pain as I do right now.

Other than the callouses on my hands, the inability to walk, the bruises on my shoulders and collar bone, and the shooting pain running through my thighs, I'd say Crossfit is amazing and I can't wait to go back (that makes sense right?)

Today we completed "Fran"

Warm up:
500 meter row
3 Rounds
8-wall squats (8 lb ball)
10-Front Squat (35 pounds)
12-push press (35 pounds)

Then, we did the thruster (which is just dip and drive with the bar)
5 sets of 3 going up in weight each time
I maxed at 65 lbs (3reps)

WOD: Fran
21 reps-15 reps-9 reps of each
Thruster  (35 lbs)
Pull ups (black band with green band assist)

Fran took me 14 minutes and 50 seconds. Again, momma kicked my butt and completed this in 12 minutes 22 seconds. 

During the WOD, I felt a little dizzy and a little sick, stopping several times during the thruster. The pull ups were also a challenge and I had to break, both the thruster and the pull ups, up into sets. I tried to complete as many reps as I could without my arms giving out. This was an extremely intense workout, and like I said, getting jumped by a herd of people would of given me the same pain.

After I finished Fran, I dry heaved several times but managed not to hurl.

I feel accomplished and I feel like I really did give it all I had... Then again, I'm sure I could of pushed a little harder. If it wasn't for Bill's motivation and encouragement, I would of given up several times during the workout. He's the man.

Tonight's Agenda:

Quote of the day: "Wake up with determination. Go to bed with satisfaction."
