Ofu Beach — American Samoa Hike
Monday, January 24, 2022
At around 9:30 am, I drove to the South Coast Metro gym for my morning workout. Since the weather felt chilly this morning, I went straight to the steam room and sauna for around 10 minutes, soaking up the steam to naturally steam my face before sitting in the sauna for another 10 minutes. It is turning out to be a meditative and relaxing morning ritual in preparation for my workout.
I then decided to go on the treadmill. I chose the treadmill trail in Ofu Beach, American Samoa. As I walked it, it felt short and flat of only 1.53 miles. I finished this trail in 23 minutes and 6 seconds, burning 230 calories. I noticed from the map on the treadmill that this trail appears to be along the coast, sandwiched between rocky mountain area and beach. It felt like an easy walk without tiring hills, or in my case, changing steep ramp levels.
