3 minutes Burpees
then...

15 Thrusters 95/65
15 Pull ups
Repeat 3 times

then...
3 minutes Burpees

Score is time on middle portion, subtract 1 second for each burpee completed.
________________________________________________________________________________

So the middle part..."Fran"...sucks by itself, but then to add 3 minutes of burpees to both ends...torture!

Here's how it played out for me this morning: 
In the first round of burpees I got 37.  In the second round I got 32, for a grand total of 69 burpees.  (I was trying to get to 70 so I missed my goal by 1.  Dang!)

My original time in the middle was 10:25, but doing the math (hopefully right) I ended with a time of 9:16.

Clean and Jerk

Results:
50 - 55 - 60 - 65 - 70 - 75

Cardio is more my area of strength.  Weights...not so much, but I have improved a ton from when I first started.  75 pounds is 10 more than I was able to do before!

This is MY Crossfit story

My name is Alli D and I have a problem.  I am hooked on Crossfit.  I began doing crossfit on August 27, 2012 and this is my journey.
When I first began Crossfit I was scared, nervous and completely unsure of any terms used at the gym; Thrusters, Snatch, Cleans...just to name a few.  I still have to look the names up here and there for a refresher, but I'm getting better at learning them.  Within a few weeks I could see a change in myself and my body.  After a few weeks of consistently going to crossfit I had lost 5 pounds and dropped a size in jeans, not to mention, I was able to do a REAL pushup!  I love the friendships I have made, the challenge of thinking I am physically unable to do something and then completing it, and of course, I have loved the results I've seen. 
My reason for starting this blog is to have a way to keep track of my journey.  I will be listing my daily workout so that I can see how I am {hopefully} gaining speed and strength.
