Hydra Halfpipe

Hydra Halfpipe

Posted on behalf of Marge

3 of South Charlotte’s Finest plus Hairball showed up for this week’s version of Hydra despite heavy overnight rain.  My weather channel app read 80+% chance of rain for this morning all week but alas, the sky cleared up just in time for 5:30 am.

All veteran crew (and no site Q’s) so very short disclaimer was given.

Mosey to Harris Teeter and circle up (actually square up) in the far parking lot on the other side of the Teet right off of Colony Rd.

Warm Up

• SSH x 20
• IW x 20
• LSS x 20

Enough of that.  Mosey down Colony Rd. to Abbotswood Dr.  Stop for 10 pushups (yes, I accidentally called them pushups… Q Fail) halfway down Colony.

Right on Abbotswood to the top of the halfpipe

11’s on the halfpipe – Freddy Mercuries on one side, Carolina Dry Docks on the other.  5 jump squats at the Abbotswood/Summerlin intersection each time you go through the bottom of the halfpipe.

Slow mosey up Summerlin back towards the AO.

Just enough time to mosey to the church to find a lifting rock.  3-4 sets of 20 curls, 20 presses and 20 tricep extensions.

Back to AO for Mary

• Dolly x 20
• Russian Twists x 20
• Rosalita x 20

Done

Moleskin

Great group this morning.  After seeing the forecast, my goal was to keep us on solid ground (pavement) and to try to get in at least 3 miles.  Mission Accomplished.  The 11’s on the Halfpipe sucked bad.  The pax did great staying together (thanks to Hairball for slowing down) and I felt like we got some good work in on arms, legs and core.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
