Saving Dry Heaving Meatheads

18 men signed up for another round with #F3FastTwitch.

The Thang

Little baby jog around the parking lot before taking Strawberry Lane out to 51. Right turn onto 51 with a brief stop at Serendipity for a plank and 10 merkins OYO. Mosey farther down 51, right turn onto Raintree Lane and then a left onto Willow Point. Gather in the parking lot for the Raintree soccer field for COP:

  • SSHs x 10 IC
  • IWs x 20 IC
  • Mountain climbers x 20 IC
  • 1 minute stretch

Mosey to the first street sign on Willow Point for instructions:

  • Sprint to 1st street sign
  • Mosey to 2nd street sign
  • Sprint to 3rd street sign
  • Mosey to dead end
  • Turn back, sprint to 1st street sign
  • Mosey to 2nd street sign
  • Sprint to 3rd street sign
  • Mosey to 4th street sign

We did this 4 times. Then ran a suicide round to and from the street signs. Willow Point is about 1/4 mile in distance.

Back to parking lot for a little Mary: LBCs x 15 IC, Straight leg lifts x 15 IC

Then mosey across Willow Point to the little office building on Raintree Lane. Run up the stairs, across the top, down the stairs, merkins in the parking lot.

  • Round 1 – single steps, 5 merkins
  • Round 2 – double steps, 10 merkins
  • Round 3 – single steps, 15 merkins
  • Round 4 – double steps, 20 merkins
  • Round 5 – single steps, 25 merkins

Start the run back to base. We stopped at the base of a few hills along the way for some AYG sprints to the top. Finished off with some people’s chair, with multiple 10 counts, much to Header’s chagrin.

Moleskine

Holding true to a promise YHC made to himself a while back, we did not go down to the track for our sprint work. Instead, we chose the 1/4 mile stretch of Willow Point that runs behind the Arbo. At one point, Alf noted “that’s the back of the building where I go tan”, unless YHC heard it wrong. Some fast guys out there this morning. Swift has very little chance, unless Bratwurst calls for some sort of random drug testing leading up to the speed challenge.

Some guy walking along Willow Point literally jumped into the grass as we came barreling up behind him during the sprints. Sweet revenge for Soul Glow, who remains in therapy, still suffering the effects of the bunny suit man on BRR leg 10.

The suicide may have been the longest one of all time.

For some reason, been eyeing those steps of the little Raintree office park a little while now. Figured we’d try them out…a little reminiscent of the circuit work we sometimes do at Centurion. Sorry Pro, we did not do bunny hops up the steps…perhaps you can do that, if you ever Q FT…or show up again, for that matter.

A good group of guys continue to post at FT. Speed and endurance are growing. Strong on the merkins too…after all, someone’s got to carry the dry heaving Meatheads and the beautiful models out of those burning buildings.

Really wanted to post today, for the stares of disbelief as much as the work itself, but my want of an extra 1.5 hrs of sleep won that battle. #smartsack So, I had to settle for a 3 mi solo run after waking up refreshed.

Not sorry to have missed the sprints, but glad to hear the models & meatheads (and me)don’t have to get out of a burning building by ourselves…

Swift is lucky I’m out of town on 4/28 (RESPECT day). Hate to miss that one.

I actually commented about needing my clothes taken to the cleaners there. But the tanning sounds more awkward so we’ll go with that.

Haze – as I was reading though this backblast and I got to the stairs part, I even thought to myself, “no bunny hops?” If anybody needs extra work on them, it’s you. I too have been eyeing those steps for some time now…
