Rocky Road

They showed up by the case this morning at The Maul. Not to be outdone by Alf, and in solidarity for our brother, McGee, burpees were in the mix this morning. After a robust disclaimer and notation that I’m most certainly not a “burpee guy”, we hit the pavement.

The Thing:

10 burpees OYO

Mosey across Elm to the crest of Murderhorn for COP: IW, SSH, Merkins – all in cadence

Mosey down the ‘Horn to the rock pile by the pool. Partner up and grab one rock per pair.

10 burpees OYO

CMIYC – P1 did 7 HR-merkins, while P2 ran with the rock. We snuck out the back door of Thornhill and stopped at several spots along the way.

10 burpees OYO at the corner of Thornhill Club/Meadow Run

10 burpees OYO at the corner of Meadow Run/BCP – continue up BCP towards Elm

10 burpees OYO at the post office on BCP – took the shortcut behind Wells Fargo

10 burpees OYO at Ballantyne Trace/Elm

10 burpees OYO at the top of Murderhorn

10 burpees OYO at the bottom of Murderhorn

10 burpees OYO at the rock pile – drop your rocks

Line up at the bottom of Murderhorn – AYG sprint to the top

Mosey back to the lot

10 burpees OYO to finish

 

The moleskine:

We got off to a cutesy start at the bottom of the ‘Horn with the CMIYC, but settled into a rhythm by the time we hit BCP. Pretty positive I didn’t do 100 burpees in 2016 collectively – today was real. Big crowd out there and lots of guys I met for the first time. Not many sites have a Murderhorn in their back pocket – it’s always a treat to humble yourself on it when in the neighborhood. Top to bottom, guys were doin’ work out there.

Appreciate the patience early on and the opportunity to lead you fellas this morning. Please keep McGee and his family in your prayers, with the loss of his Mom this week. We’re here for you brother.

Thanks to Squid for the always spot-on takeout.

Peace and luv,

HB

Meh – 1 rock for 2 people on a mile and a half. A light training day for sure.

There were some questionable rock choices out there. Some I would not even classify as a rock.

It was a nice stroll Alf.

100 burpees are not fun but do not mind to honor Mcgee’s mom.
