We went to bed that first night at like 8pm, so therefore woke up at like 5am the next morning, felt amazing so we went and trained at 6 after we watched the sunrise, this just became out normal routine the whole week, went to bed at 8:30 and woke up at 5:30, I've never felt so energized in the mornings. It felt great.
Oct 12th - We had a long layover in LA on Sunday so out friends picked us up and we went and ate, walked manhattan beach then went to their house and did a little banded hex bar deadlifts, farmers walks and then some Air Dyne Intervals. Nice little workout before we boarded out plane for the 13hour flight.

Spent all day snorkling the Great Barrier Reef, it was amazing and incredible to see it and all the fish that live on it.
Day 3 - Oct 17th
This was a busy morning! We crushed it.
They offered a Spin class combined with a CRX class. The spin was 30min and the CRX was 25min.
Spin was awesome, it was a great cardio workout and burned my legs bad, Mike did it with me and it was a nice change and fun to do.
Spin immediatly led into the CRX which was a core training type class, we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into. I got my butt kicked. It was so much different planks and core work and also shoulder work. My abs were sore the next day, but it was also nice and a good change for the day.
We went back and ate breakfast, out hotel had an awesome free bfast. Then we went on a hiked passage peak, which was a 2700km hike one way with several steep inclines along the way. It took us about 2 hours. I was spent by the time we got back. But the funny thing was, we did all of this by 10:45 am ha. We trained and completed the hike by 11. We thought the hike would take us longer and we got back and were like "uh oh" haha. We ate a small lunch and took a nap and then went and swam and hung by the beach the rest of the day.
Day 4 - Oct 18th - Took a rest day, was pretty tired when I woke up.
We decided to take a large catamaran to whitehaven beach, it was a 4hour day trip. It turned out to be amazing, WhiteHaven beach was incredible! Its australias #1 prettiest beach. The sand is all silica sand, which is very fine bleach white sand and the water is crystal clear, it was so relaxing, we swam and played frisby and did hand stand holds :) I must say Im actually getting better at these because of all the work we've been doing! I held one in place perfectly for a solid :5 at least and did it a few times. So much fun!
Day 5 - Oct 19th
Trained early this morning and then flew to Sydney at noon.
I actually did what you wrote me for the 20th this day, I knew in Sydney we there would be a couple days we couldn't train because we were going camping.
I couldn't do the lifting because you couldn't olympic lift but I could do everything else.
For time:
Row 1k
Rest 1 min
100 walking lunges 65# front rack
rest 1 min
Row 1k
Took me 16:40 - this was much tougher than I though. Those 100 walking lunges crushed me ha
First 1k I rowed a 4:10
Lunges I broke - 25,20,15,15,15,10
Last 1k I rowed a 4:07
I was spent after this and dang I felt those lunges for at least the next 3 days haha.
Training was great at Hamilton Island, Mike and I felt great that whole week, the island was so beautiful, peaceful and fun. It was very secluded, everyone drove gold carts "buggys" around, there were no cars, we just walked every where we went. I think that was the first time I felt that relaxed and stress free with no worries and it felt amazing. I was so sad to leave the island, it was hard to go but I knew sydney would be fun as well!
We have so many pictures, I'll have to go through them and make a post with some of my favorites.
Week 2's post will come shortly, probably tomorrow! We are at the Minneapolis airport waiting for our connection to Memphis now.
