COPee

While Glass Joe and Shepherd completed an impressive 5 mile pre-run that allegedly did not involve any trips to Bojangles, a group of 13 mighty men assembled in the Sun Valley Middle School parking lot for a tour of the facilities. Countertop had to leave after a his solo pre-KB workout, leaving 12 for the main event.

THANG:

Note, I completely made this workout up on the fly – no duct tape weinkes or CSI style diagrams. I also smoked myself during this thing, so the details may or may not be accurate. Usually, only about 50% of what I type on these things is true anyway so it shouldn’t be a big deal.

Jog to back of Middle School bus lot for COPee (more on this later).

Group mosey to Elementary School playground for partner work. Pair up, and perform the following:

10 pullups, with spotter if needed
15 derkins
20 donkey kicks in swing – disclaimed with the story about the time my pants came off as I jumped through the swing doing these. Nobody left, we we’re good, I think?
Lap around the track
Mary to catch up the six
Repeato, increasing the reps by 5 on everything except the pullups because only Salt Lick finished all 10 the first time.
Mary to catch up the six, including a hilarious round of crunchy frog / v-ups

Pinball run (ICE-9 ™) all the way back to the cars. Pax race to a waypoint and then all turn around to pick up the six. Brief jog together until everyone gets to the waypoint and then another race. We did about 5 of these until we made it to the cars. This is my favorite replacement for the Indian Run – seems to push the faster guys much harder and keeps the six in sight just as well.

1 min H2O break, a new Outland site policy at the 30 min part of each workout. Everyone was still alive – good.

Group mosey out to the practice football field with a stop along the way for some burpees to catch up the six. Glass Joe did 1 burpee. He said he did them yesterday, which was supposed be somehow relevant.

Line up across the practice field for 7s, burpees on one end and merkins on the other. Serious sweating going on now.

Line up again for #bearapalooza across the field, which was now much longer than I had remembered.

Bear crawl across field
Dizzy Bear back – beareoke right, beareoke left, and backwards bear
Boo Boo bear across – left leg up, right leg up, regular
I think we did something else, but I was basically dragging myself across the field with sweaty dirt in my face at this point so I really don’t remember

Run back to Shovel Flag. Glass Joe attempted an Indian Run #qjack, which I was too smoked to ward off, and we all made it back somehow.

Moleskin:

After ~~almost passing out~~, ~~barely avoiding mouth-to-mouth with Freedom~~, some dehydration at a workout on Thursday earlier this week, I was a little concerned about this one. Should be ok though, Splinter has the last half and leading the first 30 won’t be that bad. A quick text message late Friday about a rescheduled ballgame put me on the hook for the full 60. Then, my left knee went from hurting a little to being completely numb on Friday night, which was disturbing. What’s the worst thing that could happen?

I decided to drink about 800 gallons of water to prepare for this workout so I would not have a re-occurance of events earlier this week. I started Friday mid-day and fueled up like a camel preparing for a long journey. Shortly after the SSH in the warmup circle, it was very clear to me that I needed to pee very badly and that this was going to happen soon. Providentially, there was a new port-a-john very nearby from some construction work that I was able to duck into while the pax headed off to the playground. I caught a fair about of grief about this, but the alternatives would have been tremendous. #COPee

Even after the overhydration, we stuck with the water break thing that we had discussed before the workout. I think it went very well and gave the guys a little more energy to finish the 2nd half strong. It really didn’t interrupt the workout or take much time away, so it’s a keeper.

It was great to see Salt Lick roll up in his giant SUV. I thought he had a deflated rear tire or something preventing him from any running, but he was leading the way for the whole workout. He has the bear crawl knack as well . . . a little unsettling how fast he was bear crawling.

Toughskins is continuing to get after it. He put in some hard work out there.

The Count is hooked – good work out there.

Big Trade with his #batbelt is becoming a site regular. He did a great job helping our FNG Dragnet feel welcome and showing him to to do the smooth #modify thing while still looking awesome

Sweat Shop lived up to his name out there today – gross.

FNG Dragnet (Eric) is a former police office who has recently lost a lot of weight and working to get into shape. He did great today, and says he is coming back. Thanks to the Outland PAX for making him feel welcome.

Thanks to everyone for putting up with my attempt at leading this thing. It was a blast.
