Field of valor at Hydra
20 men entered the field of valor at Hydra to enjoy the last summer morning.
On any given Sunday, it can be 50/50 whether you win or lose. So we did 60 50’s to chase perfection….or at least to chase away the HDHH leftovers.
The Q’s feeble, aging mind cannot tolerate a complex weinke, so we kept it simple.
COP Warmup:
Slow mosey to the field….having seen Runstopper we were inspired to do 15 burpees OYO.
Continue slow mosey to football field and circle up
SSH x 20
IW x 20
Mountain Climber x 20
Dolly x 20
The Thang:
Down the merkin ladder….
50 meter sprint followed by 20 merkins.
50 meter sprint followed by 19 merkins…..and so on down to 1.
#harder than it reads.
Tough to plank after that.
Shake it out with a little mary: Flutter x 20
Back on the line.
50 meter sprint followed by 20 low slow squats
50 meter sprint followed by 19 groiners
Continue alternating down to 1
Last Round:
50 meter sprint followed by 20 LBC’s.
50 meter sprint followed by 19 LBC’s…..and so on down to 1.
Mosey back to parking lot.
Moleskin:
Great weather this morning. We’ll be wishing for this the next 3 months. This workout is self-regulated/motivated – you can run as fast as you want, and do the exercises with good form…or not. A lot of early commentary on YHC’s advanced age. Guilty. Young punks. Hydra is still the best AO in Area51, but we only saw a small box this morning. Good work by all.
Announcements:
28 pairs of shoes (+5 since Sunday and 2 at workout – thanks) gathered toward South Charlotte Area 51 goal of 300 for Charlotte Rescue Mission, Drop a note to Bugeater and he will pick up any men’s athletic shoes you have. Deadline is this Saturday. each him on Twitter @jasonhilliard

Posted on behalf of Iron horse, who is catching a plane to Wisconsin. He is badgers-huskers game bound this weekend and he offered a ticket up to me. I may sell my shoe collection for a plane ticket.
Great lead iron horse. 60 50’s was awesomeness. 2+ miles of all out with pain in between. Ouch.
Great to see lost weekend, brownie and velvet return for two weeks out in row. Hannibal was out as usual happy self and champagne made a showing as #FormPolice and was calling out pax right and left. He especially called out Chelms. I think it is his way of handling his mancrushes.
Also Interesting. Our age range was 38-53.
Next up, Brown on Q for first hydra lead!
I thought the reference to “good form, or not” was referring to Champagne. He diverts attention from his own form by calling out others (me mainly).
Simple but effective rarely fails. I can’t remember a workout in over 3 years of F3 where my shoulders were so smoked during a drill. Merkins are my kryptonite, as Champagne and Gummmy so disrepectfully pointed out during the ladder.
