Hawaii Catch Up
Just got back from 10 days in gawjess Hawaii with the wife. Had lots of fun, caught a little sunburn, and even improvised some workouts between travelling and activities on our full itinerary. Some random workout-related notes from my trip:
- The beaches in Hawaii do not lend themselves to workouts like the beaches I’m used to. There is really no place to run beach sprints without kicking sand all over other people. Now I know what Grandpa meant when he said he was underwhelmed by Hawaii’s beaches compared to Coney Island.
- The Hawaiian sun is hot. Even when the tempature is in the mid 70s, the sun drained my energy during my outdoor workouts.
- I found very few places to do pullups. The hotel gyms were poorly equipped and those damn palm trees have no branches to grab onto.
- It was also really hard to find discrete places to practice kung fu. The fancy resorts were too fancy and the B&Bs were too quaint. Beaches were also right out (see above).
- I lost my gymboss in Maui. So sad.
All in all a great trip. Now I gotta catch up on my back-log of workouts.
