Crossfit 831 - A New Adventure

Thanks to the magic of Groupon and the amazing generosity of one local gym owner, I was able to afford a membership to my first crossfit gym!  My first class was last Monday.

For the longest time, I have wanted to do crossfit in an official gym with an official coach.  I first started crossfitting about 4-5 years ago with my housemates at 24 hour fitness.  I've done it a lot on my own, but this is a new adventure.  I want the coaching and the community, and it seems like it will deliver both.

 My first class we did this workout:
3×3 Front Squat
First two with a pause and 3rd regular.
WOD:
700m Row
30 Thrusters (75/105)
75 Double unders

I did 145# on the front squats (with pauses).  I've never done pauses like that before, but it was pretty fun, and good on the quads.

When I did the WOD, I accidentally put 115# on the bar to start.  About half way through, I had to drop 20# to 95#.   I finished in about 16:40, I think.

 I got some serious DOMS... mostly in my traps from the heavy thrusters, but also in the quads, calves and maybe a bit all over.

I'm excited about this new adventure, and I'm hereby announcing my new goal:
Cut my Fran time in half by Christmas! (in other words,  under 11:04)
