Did I say 11’s…I meant 7’s

What a perfect day for a morning workout. 25 PAX including two FNG’s showed up for my VQ at Kevlar. Because of the nice weather and history of great workouts at Kevlar, I knew it would be a solid turnout and was not disappointed. After a disclaimer we took off…

THE THANG:

  • Mosey across street through campus parking lot back across street toward graveyard, circled up in parking lot.
  • SSH x 20
  • IW x 20
  • 10 merkins OYO
  • Mtn Climbers x 25 (I added 5 because they felt good, not because I lost count due to heavy breathing)
  • 10 merkins OYO
  • Mosey across 51 to bottom of Reid Hall
  • 11’s up and down Reid Hall, wide arm merkins at bottom, diamond merkins at top
  • Plank up…mosey down 51 to the pitch at Warner Park
  • Suicide #1 – 10 merkins halfway, 20 squats far side
  • Suicide #2 – 5 burpees halfway, 10 burpees far side
  • Mosey back across 51, plank up at corner, AYG back to launch for Mary
  • Flutter, Dolly, Heels to Heaven x 15 each
  • Eternal Flame Group Merkin – Up/hold around circle, down/hold around circle x 5 approx.

MOLESKIN:

I heard some grumbling, probably a little more running than some wanted, about 3.2 – 3.6 miles. I was told it resembled an earlier version of Fast Twitch. In hindsight, with only 45 minutes to work with, 7’s would have been a better choice, leaving more time for Warner park where I had some more exercises in my bag. Two FNG’s, Sidecar and Brexit jumped into the mix today and now hate the number 11. When they come back, hopefully they get some tire hairburners, weights, bear crawls and more of what Kevlar has to offer. Thank you Squid for the takeout prayer and thanks to Alf and Horsehead for the opportunity to lead these fine men.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

If it makes anyone feel better I was lied to as well. He told me on the ride over there wasn’t going to be much running. There was. And a lot of Merkins. Solid Q out at Kevlar this morning. No shortage of sweat out there.

Strong Q Fault Line. Typically when you hear grumbling you made the right choice. The 11s on the hill were tough, but that’s why we show up. Nicely done.

He specifically told Tiger Rag last night at GR that there would not be many miles. Now I know not many is 3-4 miles. I should have known since FL ran a 100 mile race a few years ago. And note to self: running GR, beers and endless basket of tortilla chips the night before a workout and 11s = wanting to pass out! Great work FL.
