16 strong men assembled at Base Camp for their trek to start the week off right. After a thorough disclaimer for the veteran crew (#notneeded), we were off into the gloom.

THE THANG

Mosey to the side parking lot and circle up, waiting on a couple LIFOs coming in on two wheels to join us. COP #1.

• SSH x25
• IW x20

Mosey down Woodfox, and stop about 200 yard in for COP #2.

• Mountain Climber x20
• Peter Parker x20

Continue down Woodfox to Burning Tree Dr. 30 yards into BTD COP #3.

• LBCs x20
• High Flutter x15

Mosey to the end of Woodfox, hang a left down to Rising Meadow for the Main Event.

• 7s up the hill, with the option for burpees or merkins at the top, squats at the bottom
• Plank exercises while the 6 comes in

Slow recovery mosey back to the top of the hill, and make way to the cul de sac with a combo of lunges and backwards run. COP #4

• Heels to heaven x20
• Something else that was interrupted by the paper delivery guy

Back down Rising Meadow, stopping at each driveway for LBCs x5.

At base of Rising Meadow, partner up for Catch Me If You Can back to the school, with 10x merkins (modified to 5x) as the called exercise.

People’s Chair with arms extended, followed by air presses (x10 normal cadence, x10 double time). Rinse and Repeat.

Done.

MOLESKIN

Looked like a lot as I type this out, but it was all pretty basic. Some running, with some strength (mostly merkins) and ab work (mostly LBCs) mixed in. My watch read 2.4 miles, and there’s nothing wrong with that! My goal was to create a workout that would give everyone something – push the experienced guys and still be challenging, but not to a fault, for the others. I hope I accomplished that. There seemed to be a lot of heavy breathing, and nobody died (that I’m aware of), and so that seems good.

Great to see some of the regulars – Goonie (who was flying), Fireman Ed, Smash, Insomniac, Triple-7, amongst others. Great also to workout with some guys I don’t see very often and met for the first time. Thanks for the privilege to lead, and I already look forward to the next one. Thanks to Insomniac for the takeout.
