Functional fitness: Changing a tire

It has to be 20 years since I have had to change a flat. That changed on a 90 degree day parked at the beach. And not a single person stopped to help, save one sorry homeless drunk.

There is not much noteworthy about this, except that one of the lugnuts was on so tight that I had to draw upon my Crossfit experience.

After seveal failed attempts to free this last one - otherwise I would have raised the white flag and called AAA - I set up and prepared for a max rep deadlift with the lug wrench. If my previous max DL was 315, then this pull was a PR. It took everything I had.

Off it came, and we were soon on our way.
