No tricks, no treats, just pain

No tricks, no treats, just pain

22 pax, including 1 FNG, chose to take the DRP and get their Halloween started off on the right note. Cheese Curd started talking before the disclaimer, and never stopped. #spacklerreplacement. Proper disclaimer was given, and decision was made that the “moderate” tag on base camp might be somewhat ignored #modifyasneeded. Here’s what went down this crisp morning in the gloom:

The Thang

Quick lap around the parking lot to pick up any stragglers (where’s Adobe?) and then we headed down to the track. Mosey to the far corner for COP:

SSH X 15
IW X 20
Merkins X 10
Low, very slow, squats X 15

At this point, the mumblechatter really started. Some pax didn’t enjoy the “slow” part of low SLOW squat. This particular pax, who YHC couldn’t make out #nolightsdownthere despite excellent vision, is probably the type of pax that would sue Starbucks for too much ice in their ICED coffee. But I digress….. Figure the pax need a wake-up.

4 corners, 5 burpees at each corner. Mumblechatter continues to increase.
Next round, 4 corners, 20 LBCs at each corner

What about merkins? That’s coming next. Mosey back up to the rockpile and pick a friend. Claim a nice patch of grass and plank for Mr. Jack Webb. Rocks were announced to be optional during the air press portion.

1 merkin, 4 presses, 2/8, etc. Made it up to 5/20 and then laddered back down. Most pax kept the rocks with the presses the entire time. Strong work. Don’t know if Curd’s mouth or his shoulders got the better workout. Yes, he was still talking.

Shoulders needed a little break, so head over to Semi-Gloss’ office for a few rounds of People’s Chair. Well, most did proper PC, Fireman Ed looked like he was just leaning against the bathroom.

Round 1: 60 seconds
Round 2: 45 seconds
Round 3: 30 seconds with rock held out in front
Round 4: 30 seconds with rocks held above the head

Circle up for some circuits:

12 Rock curls
12 overhead presses
12 triceps curls
Run a short lap down toward the track, left at the ramp toward the ball fields, and back up the stairs
10 donkey kicks

We did 2 rounds of that. Yes, Curd was still talking.

Mosey to the parking lot for the Sally Challenge, core-style. Hold legs 6 inches, bring them up to 90 degrees every time “bring Sally up” and back to 6 inches for every “bring Sally down.” Lots of groans on this one. Tougher than it looks.

Finish with a few Mary:

LBCs
Rosalita
H2H
Done

Moleskine

I think Curd is still talking. He and Ed were particularly interested in the size of YHC’s rock. Great to have the mumblechatter, though. It’s part of what makes F3 so great. Curd, you’re welcome back most of the time.

This may not have been the most “moderate workout, but oh well. You’re better for it.
