[/caption]I started my day at 6am at CrossFit Marina with Steve and Denise. They put me through the 21, 18, 15 etc back extensions with the 400m runs in between. Compared to the time last week with 45# good mornings, I managed to pump it out faster (slightly) in 15min flat. I was talking to Steve and Denise after the WOD, and they suggested I check out CrossFit Balboa.So I drove down to CrossFit Balboa and met John, Max and Gillian. It was cool to see a CF gym with their own programming. Asked a few questions and got to see some people go through a deadlift/ring dip WOD. Very nice place.As the picture shows, we went to Huntington Beach (AKA. Surf City) and went in the Pacific Ocean. It was 57 degrees...not too bad. Saw a lot of surfers too. Now they were cool!And for my evening expedition, I ventured down to Coach Burgener's gym (AKA. Mike's Gym). I got to spend a fair amount of time with the olympic lifting guru himself, getting coach through the basics of the Burgener warm-up. Let me tell you, we'll be starting to do this warm-up at the gym very soon on occasion. I learned so much and would love to get to one of his certs.
