Breakin’ Bags

Pretty excited to Q Day Zero for the first time. Even though I never got the memo earlier this Summer due to some email address “typos”, I got word in plenty of time to put together what I was hoping would be a classic DZ high intensity romp at McAlpine. Perfect size group, 12 Pax including one FNG. Quick disclaimer then off we went…

THE THANG:

-Mosey from McAlpine to the adjacent strip mall/construction site/Sunshine House for COP

-SSH x 20 then 5 burpees, IW x 20 then 5 burpees, Low Slow Squat x 20 then 5 burpees

-Warm-up mile run on Bevington Place all way around to bottom of Carswell Ln. Plank for the six.

-Run 7’s From bottom of Carswell Ln., Squat at bottom, Merkins at top of hill

-Run/Mosey to school basketball court. Broke into three groups to run around school path doing exercises in three stations…

20 Thrusters w/sandbags, 10 Merkins, Step-ups on wall (2 laps)

20 Good mornings, 50 LBCs, 10 Derkins (2 laps)

Mary on basketball court: 15 Dolly, 15 Flutters, 15 Rosalita. Hustle to top parking lot for sprints and dips, then AYG back to cars. Total distance approx. 4.35 miles.

MOLESKIN:

Perfect size group of guys today with 12 PAX plus one rambunctious chocolate lab. Radar’s dog got more out of the workout than he did…and almost a mid-morning snack of a poodle during the Bevington run. Once the group was finally assembled, Radar pulling in late parking in the COP, then Finkle (FNG) caught up to us during 7’s on Carswell, everyone worked pretty hard. I bobbled a bit delivering accurate instructions for the laps and station work at the school…it was better on paper and in my head…I just couldn’t verbalize it. Spackler and others made a valiant effort to break my shiny new duct-tape sandbags…aside from a couple minors tears in the tape, no grains were lost on the court. Healthy chatter and a solid workout. Our FNG, Michael Seelin (sp?) who is a football coach at Myers Park was welcomed in as Finkle. Thanks to Buttermaker for asking me to Q and thanks to Purple Haze for the takeout.
