I collected Morgan in the hope that he&#8217;d come out for a surf too. He wimped out so I headed off to the beach with my surfski on my own. The waves were a little smaller than I&#8217;d hoped but still plenty big enough to play on. It may not have been the workout I was hoping for but playing in the waves is more fun than doing intervals on flat water and the result is similar. The waves themselves force you into an interval session anyway.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QiMIHcYYC2g\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After some epic surf conditions on Sunday, things eased off on Monday.
