Spring Break WOD 12.2

What a great day it has been! The weather has been perfect! No humidity and a nice cool breeze with plenty of sun. We spent the morning at the pool with the kids, came back to the condo for nap time, and then took Pip to SeaWorld for the evening. She loved it! A little over five years ago, Julie and I came to Orlando and went to SeaWorld on our honeymoon. As we walked around pushing Pip in the stroller, we couldn't help but realize how fast things can change in such a short time. Pip enjoyed all the shows and animal exhibits and we are looking forward to going back later in the week with Sawyer, Oma, & Opa.
I still had quite a bit of energy to burn off when we got back from SeaWorld and I felt pretty gross from the sweat and sun block I'd accumulated throughout the day, so I decided to head to the pool for a night time WOD.

Spring Break WOD 12.2
12:00 AMRAP
 50yd Swim
 15 C2D Push Ups (UB/UB/9-6/6-4-2-3)
 15 Sit Ups
= 4 + 6 push ups
- I love to swim! I grew up in So Cal. The apartment building I grew up in til I was 12 had a huge pool with a 12ft deep end. I have great memories racing my dad from end to end and jumping off the second floor ledge into the deep end with my sisters. I don't get to swim as much as I would like now, but when I get a chance I try to take advantage of it.
- The 50 yd swim was a rough estimate. It was right around 25ish one way. I knew my swims were gonna be a bit rough since I didn't have any goggles. Constantly picking my head up to look forward so I could kinda stay in line from point A to point B (imagine a V...I was trying to swim from the bottom point to the top point) and trying to work around a few kids playing catch slowed me down a bit. I was hoping for 5 full rounds still, but that 5th swim was pretty tough on the shoulders. The push ups hit me in the 3rd round and made my arms feel like lead in the water. The sit ups started to burn a bit as well in the 3rd.
- I'm a little anxious that I'm missing my back squat session this week. I'm thinking about stopping in at a local affiliate just so I can get it in, but don't know if I will just yet. We will see. I've found some parks and HS tracks nearby and already have a WOD picked out for my next opportunity...we'll see!

  1. You're the man. Even on vacation you are getting it in. If you get a chance shoot me some beginner workouts I can do at home.
