Fun with Logs

Fun with Logs

A special day down in “The Haw” (trademark).  A Site Q handoff has been in the works for a few weeks.  Between Hollywood’s son’s lack of sleep schedule, Bottlecap’s travel schedule, and Doc McStuffins’ Mecklenburg schedule/Below freezing boycott, it has been tough to get a firm date to make the peaceful transfer of power, err, shovel flag.

WARMUP

• Doc took the reins.  Quick mosey lap followed by Chilean disclaimer
• SSH x 30
• IW x 25
• Merkins x 20
• Squat x 20
• LBC x 25

THE THANG

• Hit play on the bad music playlist and did a fast lap around parking lot until we got to some man-sized logs.  Seemed like everybody heeded YHC’s pre-blast warning and wore long sleeves except YHC’s “Capri sleeves” (#QFail).
• Partner up with two teams of 2.  For those counting at home, that is 4 to a group.
• Team 1:  Called exercises with a log AMRAP
• Team 2:  Run a lap

Exercises:

• Shoulder Presses x 2 laps
• Goblet Squats x 2 laps
• Clean & Jerk x 2 laps
• 1 arm Shoulder press x 2 laps
• Merkins while T2 brings log down and up hill
• Upright log rows x 2 laps

Deliver Logs to their new resting place at bottom of hill (be ready for future use at Impromptu)

MOLESKINE

The pre-blast touted Logs even though YHC hadn’t done anything like this before.  Got a quick reminder from Recalculating that the disclaimer/pre-blast should have included goggles due to the bark shedding everywhere.  With some thanks to the Sky Q, just enough PAX showed up, even a couple newly-named FNGs, Yeast and Duck Dad decided to join despite the poor marketing efforts.    Those 2 are quickly fitting right in with the group with memes on the group text and even offering some new recipes (i.e. bourbon and eggs).  Doc and Hollywood were very impressive as usual by sprinting on every lap.  Dirty Bird and Yeast pushed each other the entire day.  Chipotle and Big Tuna quietly threw around the biggest log.  Recalculatmg and Striker got stronger as the workout went on, especially on a jailbreak on one lap where Striker showed last week’s marathon didn’t slow his legs down at all.  Rockwell and Foundation were pushing YHC which was/wasn’t appreciated at different times.  Posse and Duck Dad kept the conversation about bedazzled gloves to a dull roar, except when Hall and Oates came on which got them VERY excited.

YHC and Hollywood greatly appreciate Doc McStuffins’ and Transporter’s service to Impromptu.  They have been a great example of leadership by continually and positively pushing the PAX to get better each workout.

YHC and Hollywood’s campaign promise is to “Make Impromptu Great Again” (#MIGA) so the plan is to use gear and incorporate AMRAP-type workouts.  We appreciate this opportunity and are looking forward to this challenge.

Thanks to Recalculating for taking us out.
