I had several themes to choose from, but opted not to choose one, rather went for the essential elements of a Friday bootcamp style workout. Being a little chilly this am, I wasted no time with a quick disclaimer and 13 of us mosey’d from the parking lot, this is what we did…

The Thang

Mosey’d down to lower lot for COP – SSH, IW, Merkins, Mtn Climbers x20. Continued around parking lots up to new sports field where sandbags awaited, apparently left by Leprechauns. We broke into groups of 3 for grinders over the full length of the field. Bag side – Overhead Press, curls (briefly), tricep extensions, flutter press while far side was Jump squats and Romanian deadlifts. After about 8-10 full sets we ran back to main lot sharing bag carries along the way.

Once back at the mini-field and track, circled up for a group exercise while one PAX named the exercise then ran the mini-track carrying the slosh pipe. Exercises were burpees, 8-count body builders, heels to heaven, full sit-up, merkins, 6 inch plank, flutters, Turkish getups and others I can’t recall. Finally, we lined up for mid-field suicide sprints and full field sprints. Done.

Moleskin

Overall solid workout, not too much chatter, we logged a few miles, threw around some weight and gutted through some sprints. I’m always fan of grinders, seemed like everyone pushed hard, the sandbags were especially heavy today. Bulldog asked me to  “race” him the last leg. I felt like Clark Griswold chasing Rusty to the entrance of Wally World. Only half the PAX were able to experience the novelty and difficulty of the slosh pipe because Turkey Leg decided it was much easier if you just bang one end on the ground, knock the cap off and dump the water out. We audibled with sand bags so it all worked out. In conclusion, thanks to everyone for coming out, I was impressed with the numbers considering the NCAA tournament was going all night and it was 27 degrees this am. Poptart mumbled some announcement about Savage Race, just look it up. Thank you Squid for the takeout. Have a great weekend!

The rest of the Pax really needed to experience that slosh pipe, I’m mad I went 2nd. That thing is brutal. Great pre-work with the sand bags and slosh pipe. Solid Q start to finish

Slosh Pipe – 35 lbs, squirmy, and vomits when you shake it.

We should have just carried around Turkey Leg.
