Travel, Filming and Crocodiles

My day today

After a while I got a little more comfortable with the North American Crocodile despite being on a SUP. 

Fishing was fantastic.  A 2 hour paddle into the No Motor Zone of Everglades National Park was rewarded by snook in water so shallow that their backs were out of the water.  Fishing from the SUP was a real pleasure and added an element to the fishing that was SUPER FUN!

I surprised everyone and did a regular workout today rather than a run day.  Sorry guys...gotta keep you on your toes.

 

From the Crossfit mainsite

Many stayed up late last night watching the Super Bowl and some even indulged a little too much in Super Bowl food. Today, we made the workout very simple, but challenging.

Woodhill Sprints x 6

Sprint hill 6 times with 2 minutes rest in between.

The hill is about 150 m, I think.  We could run it between 20-25 seconds.  We tried to hold that time throughout the 6 intervals.

I felt a slight twinge in the groin area so I stopped at 5 rather than 6, but good news...no calf injury this time.

Great work guys!

Tuesday

Today

With a violent front passing through at 4:50 AM, I expected a light crowd today. Yesterday we approached record numbers with 20, but I knew today would be much lighter. I watched the clock tick towards 5:45 and felt like today might be the day that I was completely stood up.  In 9 years, there has not been a day when NO ONE showed up.  There have been many days where only 1 person made the commitment, but never has no one made it.  At 5:39, Jody rounded the corner, followed by Wade and Byron. 

We ran 5 miles in the rain and finished with weighted dips

Today

Run 5 miles or row 5k

then

Weighted dip

Today marked Byron's 1 year anniversary with the RRL.  He has transformed his mind and body in 365 days and looks and feels fantastic.  Congratulations Byron!  Much more progress lies ahead.

Stand by for an interview with Byron.
