You didn't go far enough. Basically all cars with manual transmissions are made to lock out 1st gear at anything over a crawl. This keeps you from accidently shifting into first when you are going from 2nd to 3rd.
I believe the owners manual says to only shift into first when you are stopped and that the transmission will be damaged if you don't follow this.
