Jack & Danyelle!
Every time I go home, I always stop by to hit a WOD at Jack's FGB home gym and Elyse's CrossFit 808. When I am in the Bay Area, I stalk their blog and such. I love the crowd, atmosphere, coaching, and the programming. So glad to get a visit in at both gyms last week!
FGB Hawaii Kai: Jack's home gym just gets bigger and bigger every time I come home. This time they got a new ski erg and flying pull-up bar! Oh yeah and congratulations to Danyelle for making it on to the WOD gear team!!! Bummed out I missed the crazy Miagi WOD on Saturday but at least I made it in! The workout on Sunday was "Skinny Fat Helen." I did some variant of Helen like three times this past month, the most brutal at the Sac Throwdown. This one was just as much fun.
"Skinny Fat" Helen - 3 rounds for time:
"Skinny Fat" Helen - 3 rounds for time:

CrossFit 808: On my last day at home, I made the drive out to CrossFit 808. Hawaii traffic makes it far. It took me almost an hour to get there from Hawaii Kai, Monday morning! Upon arrival I was immediately greeted by Elyse and hungry mosquitos. Within the first five minutes, I already had 5 mosquito bites... in the worse places possible and all probably from the same mosquito! At least it wasn't blistering hot this time (I'm a big baby). Despite my minor issues, I still absolutely love coming here!
I barely made it to the 8:30am class. I have been to the noon class, afternoon class, and evening classes. The 8:30am class is probably the most temperature friendly. Anyway, this is what we did:
- 5x5 Shoulder Press
- For time: 21-18-...-6-3:
- Front Squats 135#/95#
- Sit-Ups

9. New 808 shirts!
As usual, I had a blast at both FGB Hawaii Kai and CrossFit 808. I am excited to come back in May!! Hopefully that means beach WOD with Jack and Danyelle and actually getting a small size tank at 808 =P
