....the one where liesl does a real wod....

OK....so I went to Wasatch Crossfit this morning to see what it's all about.. The trainer showed me some basic moves and then set up a wod for me to do. First I did 500 M on the rowing machine and here was my wod:
10 air squats
10 pushups
10 kettleball swings
10 situps
I did three rounds for a time of 6:58! Not too bad for my first "real" wod! It felt good to push myself that hard. So I signed up to do the bootcamp which is a 12 week program that is an introduction to Crossfit. I go every MON/WED/FRI at 9am (free babysitting at the gym!) and we do a warmup and work on learning different Crossfit exercises and then we do the wod. I'm pretty excited....very nervous though. My stomach hurt so bad today I almost didn't go in and go through with the "introduction". But I think the only way for me to do it is to dive in head first and give it my all. I've made the committment and I am going to stick to it. I'm scared and intimidated to say the least. Everyone I saw there today was so CROSSFIT! WOW!! Hopefully there will be some people in my class that are more at my level, but everyone has to start somewhere, right. It feels like starting a new job with all the nervousness associated with that.
