We-Thu 16-17.7: Beach metcons

Wednesday-Thursday. Beach workout on both days.

Our apartment is right on the beach and it's a tradition to cast the folding chairs and sun umbrella's in place early in the morning. Kind of build up our camp right on the ocean line. For 2 days in a row we have thrown workouts with Kari right after having done our responsibilities. Running and bodyweight movements have taken place.

Wednesday metcon.
  • 10 rounds of:
  • 100m shuttle run at the beach
  • 10 burpees

Great one! We decided to run in the sand, a little variation to a hard ground. We ran so close to the ocean that I was soaking wet as the water splashed all over me. It's a bit more taxing to run in soft sand and also those burpees felt different as legs and hands sunk in to the sand. This was a great wod and it was mind-blowing to take a recovery swim right after!

Thursday metcon.
  • 5 rounds of:
  • 200m shuttle run at the beach
  • 24 lunges
  • 24 push-ups

Same schedule, same guys and same state of mind. Do some work! We doubled the length of the run and changed burpees to lunges and push-ups. Something like a Loredo workout. I was able to keep a steady pace all the way, didn't stop at any point and got everything knocked unbroken.

And right after finishing those five rounds I dived in to the ocean. The nature really offers its best in these surroundings! It's been great to see Kari hit a wokrout for the last 4 days in a row. He's been working hard and it's gonna pay dividends in the future.

  1. Tommi, it was great to do the wods together in a perfect place right by the Mediterranean 😊. And as you wrote, there was a quick reward waiting for us immediately after the wod - refreshing swim in the ocean.
