CCC Updates

 

While Deanne was out last week...I attempted the CCC with some friends

 We parked on the 101 by "the kook"

Hint: park just south of the kook on the 101 by turning left as you approach...

if you turn right you will have to drive for awhile before being able to U-turn.

And this is what we found...HIGH TIDE!

Because we are not easily deterred...

we decided we would run on the road and hit the stairs/ramp 

from above.

Actually...we returned two days later and were able to run it on the beach.

I recommend taking the challenge from the beach rather than the road.

You can check the tides by clicking here.

(just click on San Diego, check tides and it will show you when high tide is for the next 

few days...pay attention to the little graph thingy at the top too because if it isn't all

the way up to the top...you may still have beach...like we did 2 days later.

Here are my other CCC tips:

 1. There are 6 sets of stairs plus the ramp.

2. The first set of stairs by the kook COUNTS.

3. Less running if you do it from the beach.

4. You hit 5 sets before the ramp.

5. The last set of stairs is at SWAMI'S

(it's the stinky one cuz near the outhouse) 

6. If you decide to do it from the road...you need to run inside the camp ground or you

will miss half of the stairs. They are quite close together. 

If you would like to re-read the challenge as Deanne first proposed it, 

I have copied it into my first blog post with the CCC logo...just scroll down a couple. 

Are you wondering about my time? Well...I have not yet done the CCC for time.

I did the stairs just once each and the ramp 2x. I will go do it again...yes, I will.

FINAL TIP:  Park far, far away from VG's!! 

 You DO NOT want to undo all of your CCC with the VG:) 

Good luck!! 

And please...do share your CCC experience...

CCC-Have you done it?!

Tell us about it!!

How many attempts did it take you?

Did you go solo?

Was the tide high?

Did you wear your heart rate monitor?

What was your time?

Are you going to try again for a new P.R.?

What was the hardest part?

Did you reward yourself after??

We are DYING to know...

Cardiff Beach Challenge

Park on the 101 near the Cardiff Kook Surfing Statue.  Go around the back of the statue, through the campground and down the stairs.  You will come down to lifeguard stand #17.

Do a 5-10 minute warm-up before you take off on the challenge.  A great dynamic warm-up is the one we do before bootcamp.  It’s important that your heart rate is elevated and your muscles are warm, before you begin.

You will head north on the beach to the end (where the cliff comes out to the water).  On this route, you will come across 6 sets of stairs and one large ramp. 

Your goal this session is to complete the advanced version of this workout in 55 minutes.  That does not include your warm-up.  Your total workout time will be 60 minutes or less.  Depending on your current fitness level, start at either the beginning, intermediate or advanced level.  You have 10 weeks to work up to the advanced level.  Once you have successfully completed the advanced level, please post on the blog under the title “I did the Cardiff Beach Challenge”.  There will be a prize for everyone who completes the Advanced Challenge by the end of the 10 weeks.

Beginner Level

·         Jog or Power walk to the first set of stairs north of you

·         Hit the first set of stairs, climbing up and then back down, 1 time.

·         Skip the next set of stairs you come to

·         Jog or Power walk to the third set of stairs, climb the stairs 1 time

·         Continue down the beach doing every other set of stairs, 1 time.

·         Skip the ramp

·         When you get to the end of the beach, turn around and power walk or jog back

·         Write down your time when you get home so you know how long the workout currently takes you

Intermediate Level

·         Jog to the first set of stairs north of you

·         Hit the first set of stairs, climbing up and then back down 1 time

·         Hit all sets of stairs and the ramp and go up 1 time on each

·         When you get to the end of the beach, turn around and jog back to the beginning

Advanced Level – your goal is to complete this in 55 minutes not including warm-up

·         Jog to the first set of stairs north of you

·         Hit the first set of stairs, climbing up and then back down 2 times

·         Hit all sets of stairs and go up 2 times on each

·         When you come to the ramp, do the ramp 3 times

·         When you get to the end of the beach, turn around and jog back to the beginning

Holiday Challenged

Ahhh!

I want sugar and my alarm did not go off to get me to bootcamp (but it did ensure 7 hours of sleep), I need to lose 3 lbs by Friday and I have 8 more glasses of water to go and it is 8pm. Is anyone else finding themselves holiday challenged?! This is my first year of working out with Deanne at Christmastime while also holding down full time employment. You working workout women...are A W E S O M E!! I have to say...it is always a challenge to eat (and drink) healthy, keep up with your workouts and juggle the holidays but also add employment...wow!!

And let me take this opportunity to thank my fellow SPICE GIRLS!! You ladies rock! Thanks for pulling me along...I will get back to my very tall water glass now, thank you.
