Anti-BRR Taper and Pre-Panther Party at Hydra

Anti-BRR Taper and Pre-Panther Party at Hydra

***Posted on behalf of Marge***

14 veterans came out to Hydra this morning.  Little to no disclaimer given.

Find a partner and Catch Me if You Can to HT/The Lodge parking lot.  Partner 1 runs while Partner 2 does 5 merkins, then chases Partner 1 down.  Flapjack.  Repeat til we get to HT/Lodge.

SSH x 20 IC

IW x 20 IC

LSS x 10 IC

Mosey to the fountain in front of HT for 3 rounds of Partner 1 runs a lap around parking lot while Partner 2 does called exercise.  Then flapjack.

– Round 1: As a team do 150 dips

– Round 2: 100 derkins

– Round 3: 50 Jump Ups/Step Ups

Instructions given on main event – Team 7’s on the Summerlin/Abbotswood halfpipe so we don’t wake the neighbors when we get there.

Mosey down Colony to Abbotswood then hang a right and stop at the bottom of the halfpipe.

Partner 1 runs one direction up Abbotswood, Partner 2 runs the other direction up Abbotswood (both very much uphill).  On odd number trips up hill (7, 5, 3, 1) do that number of Heels to Heaven.  On even number trips up hill (6, 4, 2) do that number of burpees.  Meet in the intersection of Abbotswood and Summerlin between each trip up the hill for 5 hand slap merkins with your partner.

2 lines of 7 pax for Indian Run back up Summerlin to Rea and then back to school for 2 MOM.  10 Dolly and 10 Rosalita.  Times up.

Strong work by the pax today.  I warned on Twitter last night that this would be an anti-BRR taper workout and I think it delivered.  I didn’t keep track of the mileage but we ran about 3-4 miles with many hills mixed in.  I think the tone was set early with the terrible CMIYC to HT/Lodge to start out with.

The 150 dips at the HT fountain weren’t that bad but the 100 derkins were terrible.  Probably should’ve cut those down to 75 reps.  The 50 jump ups quickly turned into step ups.  I witnessed some great comraderie between partners during these three rounds as pax were making sure to leave a few extra reps for their partners at the end so they didn’t feel left out.

The 7’s on the halfpipe were terrible.  The hill seemed to get longer with each trip.

The indian run back to OP fell apart pretty quickly.  Guys were gassed at this point.  Several pax asked that we request an Uber to get back to OP but I don’t think any Uber driver would let us in the car at that point.

Thanks to Puddin Pop for sharing his story of how he had to waddle the last 1/2 of the 5k that Daisy made us do a few weeks ago to avoid soiling himself.  Glad you made it to the porta potty back at OP.  I’m concerned about the strange noises you heard back there though.  Must be ghosts.  I think I heard Bounce suggest that you use the HT Fountain next time.  Please don’t do that.

As I was pulling out of my driveway this morning at like 5:10 am, I saw my neighbor (Sleeping Cow) all geared up and ready to ride his bike 26 miles with COCAC.  He saw me heading to Hydra so he quickly went inside to change clothes so he could join us.  Glad you could make it brother.  We’ll hit the bike next Tuesday.  If there are any other cyclists that would like to join us, please let us know.  Will probably do 15-20 miles.  5:15 or 5:30 am next Tuesday.
