Introduction

Hello to the world! My name is Taylor Yaffee. I am 18 years old, and I am currently attending Saddleback College. I have created this blog because I would like to share a part of my life with the world. About 5 months ago I was introduced to a revolutionary sport, CrossFit. The coach I work for at Aliso Niguel High School, Joshua Aycock, handed me a booklet known as the "WOD" book. The "WOD" or (Workout of the Day) book contains the benchmark workouts of CrossFit, as well as sections to track any and all workouts/records/goals you achieve. I have been addicted to CrossFit ever since, and that is where my story begins. In these series of blogs I will post what workouts I have completed and how well I did them. Here is the first workout which I completed today:

1st Event:

3 minute (AMRAP) - As Many Reps/Rounds As Possible of:
Squat Thrusters - 135 lbs.
1 minute rest then:
500 meter Row for time

My score: 25 thrusters, 1:44 for the 500 meter Row

2nd Event:

"The Bear" - 7 rounds of: Power Clean to Front Squat to Push Press/Jerk to Back Squat to Push Press/Jerk
Not allowed to rest or drop the bar on the ground at any time! You may rest the bar on your body but that's it. You must touch and go when doing the Power Clean. 3 attempts to complete all 7 rounds with your max weight on the bar.

My score: 135 lbs. on the bar

3rd Event:

15 minute (AMRAP) of:

6 Chest to Bar Pull-Ups
9 Burpees
18 Squats

My Score: 10 rounds & 6 CTB Pull-Ups

Let me know how you feel after this! Have Fun!
