The Death Valley faithful rolled in just in time, except for Joker who was his customary 1 min late but he made up for it with an extra run, more on that later. The weather was a balmy 3C, which is probably in the 30’s on the hard to understand F scale. And so the pax got at it courtesy of Geraldo’s watch since YHC couldn’t seem to get it all right this morning and actually bring his own.
What the pax did was something like this:
Run around in circles in the parking lot to warm up (and wait for Joker to join)
Quick COT
SSH x 30
IW x 15 (these are less fun when Gummy is not present)
LSS x 10
Quick disclaimer
Partner up
Partner 1 runs to the end of Strawberry Lane and back, yes it’s a mile, no it’s not 1.4 miles, yes I’ve clocked it before (many times)
Partner 2 runs through the set up circuit, spending 1 min each at stations set up:
Jump rope
Resistance band (because jump rope #2 broke early on)
Battle Rope
Sand bag Squats
Weight plate squats (this should help proper form)
Kettlebell swings
Kettlebell rows
Kettlebell Push Press
Kettlebell pax choice
Medicine Ball partner toss
Two full rounds were completed except for Joker who ran an extra mile to make up for the fact that he is too fast (nice work and thanks for running the last part with YHC)
Circle up for some Mary
Flutter x 30
Sid-The-Kid x 12 each way oyo
Dolly x 15
Russian Twist x 10
Heels to Heaven x 10 oyo
The Shore shoulders (insert comments below about the white shorts, you had to be there)
5 Burpees oyo
That pretty much wraps it up, YHC had advertised a merkin less workout, Header was disappointed and is kind of an extra credit guy anyway so he was spotted doing a few sets in between, nice work. It seemed like there was some loosely organized confusion on the stations, bad Q on YHC part, will put up numbers next time to be more clear, always a trade off between too much explanation and just getting at it. Otherwise YHC spotted many strong efforts, especially on the run part, many pax coming back sweating pretty hard from the mile, of note CMD was pretty quick, great work for RESPECT. A few pax found running buddies and mixed in a little 2nd F, that is a good modification for sure, YHC would have liked to have done that but was breathing too hard. Really enjoyed the Q today, thanks for the opportunity, appreciate the flexibility of the pax to modify as needed on the stations to make sure you were pushing yourself, that is how this works after all.
