SOFA Hydra

SOFA Hydra

It’s freakin’ cold.  Many of you knew that last night, apparently, as a crowd of only seven slowly detached themselves from their car’s heated seats for this week’s edition of Hydra.

Most were disappointed to learn that SemiGloss would not be leading today, but he put a call into the bullpen, which YHC reluctantly answered.

Clock struck 0530, and the greatest disclaimer in the history of disclaimers was given.  It may have included, “you all know I’m an idiot with no clue what I’m doing, so if you follow me, try not to get hurt”.  Check.

Following that Lombardi worthy speech, we launched into the gloom.

Thang

Slow mosey behind the school to the basketball court for warm up – 10 SSH and 10 Imperial Walkers.

Slow mosey out of the school and down not Summerlin to Foxworth for modified version of the Foxworth Forty.

P1 – Up the hill with descending burpees each trip (9)
P2 – 40 merkins (trip 1), then  40 LBCs (2), 40 squats (3)

Flapjack.  Continue with descending burpees for P1 with P2 rotating through exercises.

Made it through two sets of each before calling it (to applause that apparently woke the neighbors). Slow mosey back up the long hill to the school Bball court.

COP for close to a true Six minutes of Mary – flutters, Boone left, Boone right, LBCs, etc.

Mosey through playground (head fake) to back of the school.

P1 – people’s chair on school
P2 – run to playground for 10 pull-ups

Flapjack.  Think we did this 5 times mixing in a round of plank for active recovery one set.

Mosey back to launch with 5 minutes left – more Mary, including Rosalita en Espanol por favor.

Warm car Moleskine

Been quite some time since I had to lead and actually call cadence.  We suffered through it.  Warm up was for Gummy, who turned out not to be War Daddy (Jet Fuel), and he didn’t even do the SSHs.

Rest of this was two basic WIB workouts with Mary interspersed to break it up.  Quite a bit easier that way.  Foxworth Forty doesn’t disappoint, which Gummy correctly pointed out is really only 20 IC. We used to getting through 13-14 trips up that hill plus a full mile in and out, so today was a scaled back “amuse-bouche” of that main course.  R.I.P. Baby WIB.

Queen was killing the hill sprints.  Don’t think it was quite Strava CR, but he’d have knocked a few guys down the list.  Not sure who was out front in the Gummy / Marge / Arena group.

A lot of interesting commentary today.  Check out @HeardatF3

And swing by The Lodge tomorrow whenever you can to join your F3 brothers for fellowship while watching the NCAA Tournament.
