I woke up less sore than I thought I'd be, so I headed back to Lahaina CrossFit to squeeze in one last workout before leaving the island.
Warm-Up:
- Row 500 meters
- 20 kettlebell swings
- 20 air squats
- 20 push-ups
- 20 push-presses
- 20 wall balls
- 20 pull-ups
- 20 lunges
Strength Skill:
- Push Jerks (5-5-3-3-1-1)
Nice. My form is rusty, and I couldn't remember my PR anyway. Once I got close to jerking my bodyweight, I called it a day.
Metcon:
"Baker's Dozen" - AMRAP in 13 minutes of:
- 13 kettlebell swings (53lbs / 35lbs)
- 13 kettlebell sumo deadlift high pulls (53lbs / 35lbs)
- 13 toes-to-bar
- 13 burpees
Result: 4 rounds + 40 reps as RXed.
After class, I lingered to chat with S and K, a super-fit couple in the 8 a.m. class at Lahaina CrossFit. We ran into them last night at the Old Lahaina Luau, where they work. Our family was wowed by S's beautiful hula dancing, and bowled over by K's gregarious charm. (Photos from our luau experience are on M's blog.) They're also two of the most friendly and inviting folks we've met on an island full of generous, warm people, and it was great getting to know them better.
You wouldn't ever know it from looking at him, but K told me that not too long ago, he was over 40 pounds heavier. Then, he and S started doing P90X (8 rounds!) and Insanity, and then moved onto CrossFit. Now, they're looking into Paleo. Sound familiar? I wish I could say that I'm just like S and K, but that would be wishful thinking; I could only hope to be as fit and strong (and nice!) as these two.
Maybe it's something in the water here. Or maybe I should move here to Maui and see if some of the mojo rubs off on me.
