DAY 4: Isabel - 3 min rest - Grace

When I started to warm-up I felt immediately tired. Not as much my mind as my body. I could tell that I did Murph the day before but I gave my best effort nonetheless. 

We did 5x3 sets of power snatch (with 70 lbs) and 5x3 of clean&jerk (with 75 lbs) in the strength part of the workout. Afterwards we did Isabel and Grace with 3 minutes rest in between. I started the workout with 70 but lowered the weight to 65 after 15 clean&jerks because I couldn't hold my back muscles stable enough. I finished in 16:35. 

July 7, I AM CrossFit Upper Keys

On July 4 we travelled from Belgium to Miami for our road trip up the East Coast but first of all we drove down to the Keys and the Everglades. We were only three days in the USA and still very jet-lagged when we decided to visit our first CrossFit box on our trip.

Based on the location, the website and the schedule we decided to pay I AM CrossFit Upper Keys a visit and we were really happy that we could drop in for the next class. The fact that is was around 94 °F (34,5 °C) was just a mere detail. The coaches welcomed us with open arms and showed us around immediately.

We started our WOD with a core WOD and believe me when I say that this is a very good core WOD! Afterwards we worked on our power snatch before we did a WOD named HULK. I decided to do the fitness variant while my boyfriend did the performance variant.

I must admit, I struggled with it. Whether it was the jetlag, the heat or the humidity, I don't know what was bothering me but afterwards I actually did not care. We struggled but we loved it! We loved working out at I AM CrossFit Upper Keys. It was also lovely that we could buy a T-shirt after our workout. I got a cute green tank top and my boyfriend got a black long sleeved T-shirt with the I AM CrossFit Upper Keys logo (long sleeves with these temperatures?)

Great box, great wod, thanks a lot!
