Crossfit trial!

Today i spent 10 minutes in a laundry mat, was i doing laundry? Nope, it was next to the crossfit place i was going to, i needed to sit there and psych myself up! It was a turning point for me, it was the first time in a long time i've gone somewhere like that on my own! A friend bailed, perfect excuse to not go, i hurt my wrist at work today, another great excuse not to go - but i realised that's all they were - excuses - and i'd wanted to try crossfit for too long to not go, basically if i chose not to go, then i would be saying no to crossfit ever (or so i told myself).

Few deep breaths, in i went. Well, luckily for me there was a lady from my gym there, i'd seen her around and never spoken to her, but it was only her second time at the crossfit place so helped put my nerves at ease, we talked while we waited - and then comes the warmup, a 700m run - well, lucky i didn't try crossfit a few months ago the voice in my head was saying, it was good to know i could run the distance!! About 500m in i realised that it was just a warmup and i still had to get through a workout afterwards, but i didnt need to walk which felt good.

Here was the workout - i loved how on the board there were 3 different versions of the workout depending on what level you are at!

This is the one i did (the middle option)

Long Chipper!  *Endurance!!!
50 Ball Slams (10/5)
30 Burpee Box Jumps
30 Sit ups
20 Wall Balls
10 Regular Push Ups
40 Ball Slams
20 Burpee Box Jumps
20 Sit Ups
10 Wall Balls
7 Regular Push Ups
30 Ball Slams
15 Burpee Box Jumps
10 Sit Ups
5 Wall Balls
5 Push Ups

This is the time i would like to point out that i have never done to the floor burpees before, i have also only recently started doing box jumps! (and always switch to stepups!) so combining the two? umm, yeh that sucked! haha
The above took me 15 mins, when he said that the cutoff time as 38mins (remember the full version was harder and had handstand pushups instead of regular pushups) i was terrified i wouldn't finish and people would laugh, so i was absolutely stoked with my time (and pretty chuffed that i was the first one finished, even if i did have the easy option lol)

So tonight i overcame a few mental barriers - doing something on my own, realising i'm fitter then i thought, and i didn't whinge once! haha

LOVING life right now!! haha
