CoEd Softball, I have worked out on and off all my life.  But I would get always burned out and take some time off.  

How were you first  exposed to CrossFit?  
I can thank Tonya Hilburn for that!

Take us back to your first WOD... what was it, and how did it feel?  
It was on April Fool’s Day! So when I looked at it I thought, 'this must be a Joke.'

It was a 500 M Row, and then 20 mn AMRAP of Cindy and Deadlifts.   Didn’t  know If I was going to make it!

What sort of changes have you seen in your body, health and fitness since starting CF (before/after)?       
I am Stronger and Healthier,  have more Confidence.  I watch what I eat.

I have formed a lot of friendships at CFT and love the family atmosphere.

Please share with us any favorite CrossFit / CFT moments 

Everyone cheers you on!

Any advice for people just getting started?  You can do it if you set your mind to it.  We all had that first day and remember what is was like.
