The Mission



Had to change hostels last night as this one was fully booked. Its funny how the ones that look like dives are the most fun and have the best features. But still good to go back to a well organised, cleaner place today. Bought some food in the morning then had lunch. Today it was a run to the mission where I had been told to go by heaps of people. Had a workout in the park then a few tacos and an ice cream at Birite creamery which is supposedly the best ice cream in the world. It was pretty damn close, very nice. After the run, workout and a little exploration I was destroyed so it took me a while to get back here where a nice long shower and some relaxation are in order.

Workout:

2-3 k San Francisco run = Hill sprints compulsory.

Death By Box Jump from CFSK
1 box jump and 10m sprint on the minute every minute increasing until you cannot complete required reps for that minute. I did it so in my last minute it was 11 box jumps and 11 10m shuttles. Not sure if thats how Chris meant for it to go but it was a good workout all the same.

  4. Ohhh lovin' it! Fuck 29 for linda is awesome. Unbroken Bench??

    The training is good but its so much harder to recover eating shit. So I've been training 2 WODs a day with 1 day on 1 day off. Its been good. Keeping up at least having some paleo meals daily. Seeing if me and this dude from Melbourne can train with Khalipa at Santa Clara towards to end of this week. But Ill be with him (Adam also) from thurs til sund so we can smash some good workouts.

    Splendor will be awesome man. You gotta let loose so i can catch up to you when i get back for sectionals. I'm hoping the one weekend up there will account for my 6 months over here. Its hard to believe im gunna be away for that long. I have already done and seen so much and met so many cool people.
