There Will Be Sweat

Probably some blood too. No tears though. Never tears.

The battery in my timer stopped mid-workout, so it was untimed. My wife was yelling “too slow! go faster!” the whole time, so it wasn’t braggable anyway. Crab walks in deep, soft sand absolutely suck. My wrists got so fatigued that I had to stop a bunch of times to shake em out. Took a dip in the ocean afterwards, which is the best thing in the world after a workout!

Getting Sandy

Did a modified version of the good old Sequential Fatigue Challenge at Jones Beach today:

  • 10 Burpees
  • Sprint ~30m
  • 10 Knee Tucks
  • Jog backwards to start

Repeat 10x

Total time: 17:10, BUT I’m not sure about the distance or the number of circuits (I may have done 12…I’m a terrible counter). Anyway, it was rough. Burpees and sprinting on the beach are much harder than regular ground. Then I took a nice leisurely swim to cool down and I didn’t even drown.

Beach Run

Beautiful day at Jones Beach WEB2. I took a nice leisurely run on the sand which totalled just under 2 miles (to the jetty and back) and cooked my back in the process.

Beach Fun

Today was another scorcher at about 97 degrees…officially a rest day. Beached it at Jones Beach for most of the day. The only thing worth noting here is that I did 30 consecutive pullups on the rusty bar at the lifeguard station.
