19 pax rolled out to Death Valley this morning unsure of exactly what to expect. When they saw the plates being unloaded from @StoneCold’s car, the uncertainty vanished. I think I even saw one guy running back to his car.
Start off with a lap or two around the SCMS parking lot, mixing in some lunges and reverse lunges.
Stop for a brief COP:
• SSH x 15
• 1 legged burpees x 5
• IW x 15
• 1 legged burpees x 5 (other leg)
THANG:
Plain and simple. Get into groups of 5, and as a group push a plate around the SCMS track. 4 times. Specifically, it’s CMIYC where one pax pushes the plate and the rest of the group performs called exercise then chases down the pusher. Rotate thru pushing the plate.
• Lap 1: Carolina Dry Dock x 10
• Lap 2: LBCs x 10
• Lap 3: Wide Arm Merkins x 10
• Lap 4: Burpees x 5
Some plank and Mary exercises were mixed in between rounds.
Mosey back to building and find a piece of wall:
• Wall Sits
• Wall Planks (until @Spackler decides to join in)
• Wall Mountain Climbers x 10 IC
Moleskin:
• So I must confess that pretty much this entire workout was an audible. I had a different weinke prepared, but as luck would have it, @StoneCold texted me at 0500 this am to say he had plates in his car. Enough said, decision made.
• I think we had time for a 5th lap, but @Radar seemed eager to leave.
• Veteran Q move: pair yourself with the young fast dudes.
• @Semi-Gloss confessed he almost spilled merlot.
• Strong work by everyone!! The hair burner mile is definitely a physical and mental grind.
• I appreciate the opportunity to lead from the DV site Q’s. Also, great to see some old familiar faces.
Announcements:
• Charlotte Eagles looking for volunteer families to host college soccer players this summer. For more info, contact Dollywood (@MessiahSoccer10).
