V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N

Whirlwind week.

I knew I had this bachelor party coming up and I was really excited to see some old friends, play some golf, and hang out on the beach.

Between this 24 Day Challenge with Advocare and Paleo, and working really hard on everything I am doing, my brain just need a full-on break to do whatever the hell I felt like.

Wednesday
"Grace" - 2:26 Rx'd

This was a sweet PR, by about 25 seconds, I am very happy about this. But as someone who likes the olympic lifts and the form of it, I know how lousy my form was on it, so that was annoying. But whatever, live and learn. I sort of hybridized the the push press and push jerk into this ugly looking super press in the interest of time. I will know to stay away from that next time and try to stay more focused.


Thursday
Travelled all morning, got to the hotel gym around 3PM which was a total joke, just 2 treadmills, no weights at all.. Ho hum.. I ran a mile on that, then walked a mile at a steep incline just to get a sweat going. Then did some burpees, nothing to write home about, just an active recovery day.

Friday
Golf in the morning, played OK considering I have not played almost all summer.

The in the afternoon I visited CrossFit Myrtle Beach, which was a ridiculous experience.

So, some background info... its like 100 degrees all day every day in Myrtle, with like 75% humidity at all times. If you play golf past about noon, you will melt, dead serious.

I went to their 6PM class hoping it would be settled down by then. I was wrong. They were sharing this enormous warehouse space with a bunch of sports camps, with NO air conditioning, just moist stagnant hellish air. The WOD was a 20 minute AMRAP of 10 push ups, 15 1.5 pood KB swings, 20 sit ups, and 25 double unders. I got about 8 rounds and change because it was basically a sit up contest, I hate those in high rep situations, but today felt better than previous attempts. 20 per round is a lot better than 40. (curse you Barbara).

I wanted to stay afterward to hang out with their trainers and shoot the shit and do some power cleans, but I legitimately could not hold a barbell because my hands were so sweaty. I tried for 10 minutes and it was like holding onto a popped water balloon.

Sat-Monday.. Rest Days & travel days.. plane delays suck. I can't wait to work out this week, I feel like a bum right now as I type this.

Excited to make up my 2K row this week too, that was one of my yearly goals, to get a sub 7.. here I come.
