Back After A Two Year Hiatus!

While many men stayed in their heart-shaped beds and feasted on chocolate assortments, four brave men showed up for a bone chilling morning at The Rock.  One man, M, decided to post after a two year break….and he did not skip a beat!  Here is what he and the pax endured:

Hopper as Q

COP:

25 SSH, 25 MC’s, 25 Freddy Mercury

Mosey across church lot to Entrance #4 off of Rea Rd.  Partner up (it is V Day after all).  Partner #1 runs the ramp of entrance #4 while Partner #2 runs to designated street light near baseball field.  Flapjack.  Partners #1 and #2 run a combined 14 ramp laps overall.

Mosey to baseball field for four rounds of Tunnel of Love (it only seemed right given the holiday).

Mosey to soccer fields.  Pair up again.  Starting at midfield, partner #1 runs to end of one side of field (fence), while partner #2 runs to other end of the field (bottom of hill near entrance #1).  Partners conduct said exercise and run back to midfield for 14 hand slap merkins.  Exercises at ends of field included:

  • 14 CDDs
  • 14 LBCs
  • 14 plank jacks
  • 14 diamond merkins

Hand Off to Splinter as Q:

Mosey to pavilion.  Partner #1 does step-ups while Partner #2 runs to desginated light post and comes back;  Flapjack until 100 step-ups are completed by pair.

Mosey back to baseball field to pick up a rock:

Catch me if you can with Partner #1 running with rock while partner #2 tries to catche. 10 merkins upon flapjack.

Mosey back to the soccer fields.  From a 25 yard start line, Partner #1 bear crawls to goal line and back while Partner #2 holds said rock over his head.  Don’t lower the rock or drop it as your partner would have 10 burpees as a penalty….luckily, no fumbles occurred. Flapjack and Rinse and repeat.

Follow it up with Partner #1 running the 25 yards and back while Partner #2 does arm presses; Flapjack.

Follow that with squats and flapjack.

Mosey back to baseball field to drop off the rock.  Then finish up with some mary:

  • Flutter
  • LBCs
  • Parker Peter with Yoga Twist
  • Protractor

Wrap it Up!

Moleskin:

So, no kidding, M decided to post after a two-year break.  You would not have been able to tell he was away that long as the man is a West Point grad and still carries that get-it–done mindset.  Cable Guy showed up strong during the bear crawl/hold the rock over the head craziness Splinter came up with.  That one did me in, personally.  Splinter was his beastly self and while he claims he has had IT Band issues, he managed to clobber us with 3.7 miles at The Rock…..strong!

Thanks for your lead Splinter….I know Day Zzzzzero is your normal stop on Saturdays, so we appreciate you coming to see how good life can be at The Rock!  Phemonal lead, man!  Thank you!
