HFD Swim Week + CrossFit

Swim Week was pretty nuts. I learned to conquer a few fears.

Heights - Never jumped from anything higher than the 1st tower at the Kawamoto Olympic Pool (15'). At the end of swim week, I jumped from the first tower 5 times, the 2nd platform (22') twice, and the top platform (33') twice. Each jump was followed by one of 3 types of rescues.

Static Dive - I can't hold my breath for much anything. Nor have I attempted to dive very deep. My deepest was 14' to recover a brick while training for the HFD agility test. It was very difficult for me to stay at the bottom of the pool for 30 seconds. I freaked out while waiting for the guys to tell me to come back up. I need to work on relaxing down there.

Brick Running - Like rock running, but we're in a group and have to go down there everytime a buddy needs to be relieved.

Anyway, we swam anywhere from 2 to 3, maybe even 4 miles per day, including rescue tows... for a total of 6 days.

CrossFit
Pretty cool place. I was impressed with the workout. I completed 13 rounds of "Cindy" in 20 minutes. 1 round of Cindy consists of 5 pullups, 10 pushups and 15 squats. Total of 65 pullups, 130 pushups, and 195 squats. Qualified pullups are chin above bar to completely extended arms. Pushups are locked out arms to chest and thighs touching ground. Squats are legs locked, down to... a full squat you would see on National Geographic.  Jordan was a beast at 19.5 rounds. The gym record was 30. Not sure what the CrossFit record was.. but I know it was insane. Cause Jordan is a freak. Jon did about 17 or so.

If I hadn't lost my circuit strength from missing out on P90x for the past few months, I could've done a lot better (but so could the rest of the class).

Can't wait to get started on TRI again! Committed myself to competing in Lavaman Keauhou this year :)

See you soon ;)
