I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.....
UPDATE:
I got up early this morning (even though I'm still on Costa Rica time) and made it to the 6:45am class, and it really wasn't bad (all of that worrying for nothing, lol).
We didn't do too much cardio which was awesome, but did a lot of weight lifting, and while my body didn't seem too out of shape, my brain definitely was--maybe that's something we older folks need to be aware of. The WOD was a 12 minute AMRAP that consisted of 8 power cleans:
I was warming up my power cleans at 55 lbs and when I tried to lift the first one, I couldn't do it. My coach noticed and walked over to watch me. I was freaking out a little bit because it was feeling really heavy, and power cleans are kind of my thing (my one rep max for a clean is 80 lbs) and I was thinking I'd lost a lot of strength. I tried again and lifted the second attempt but was really unsteady. My coach told me not to go crazy and to take the weight down to 55 or 65 and I was thinking "that's what I'm at!" but then I realized I had 75 lbs on my bar, lol. Sheesh. Old age. I didn't realize it until my coach walked away. So, note to self: maybe I should've been more worried about the lack of brain exercise instead of the lack of physical exercise!
I'm sure I'll struggle physically too this week, but it feels good to be back in the saddle again.
