Maundy Thursday Feast of 11s with Unsavory Sides

11 strong men of south Charlotte gathered to start their Easter weekend the right way. After a brief disclaimer, we were off.

The Thang

Moderately quick lap around OPES to get the blood flowing in our legs, back to launch for our warm-up.

  • COP with SSH, IW, Slow Squats, and Mountain Climbers (all x20 in cadence)

Mosey to playground (Station #1)

  • Plank followed by Peter Parkers (x20 in cadence)

Mosey around baseball outfield to concession stand between fields (i.e., the long way – Station #2)

  • Plank followed by Parker Peters (x20 in cadence)

The Main Event

  • 11s between Stations #1 & #2 – Pull-ups on playground; Dips on bleachers by concession stand, taking the “long way” around the outfield between the stations

Recovery mosey to parking lot on the “other side” of the school

  • Circle up for 4 minutes of Mary

Mosey across front of school to the short track

  • Lap 1 – Run ½ lap backwards, other half regular – 10 merkins at the end
  • Lap 2 – ½ lap of lunge walk, bear crawl, broad jump (any combination, just get there) – 15 merkins
  • Lap 2 (continued) – ½ lap backwards run – 10 merkins
  • Lap 3 – AYG, finish at workout launch

Done

The Moleskin

Good crew this morning, and everyone pushed hard. Marge and Gummy were out front for a lot of the 11s (and everything else). After a brief comment about the disclaimer, Gummy was pretty silent in the harassment department. Not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. Spackler must have taken the first half of 11s off, because when he decided to go (around #5), he blitzed the rest of us. I hate to admit it, but there must be something to that Orange Theory thing. Puddin’ Pop was pressing (take that however you want), and Queen was his metronome self – solid.

Harley and Arena were carrying on a deep conversation through most of the 11s (I think it was you two), and it must have been interesting, or at least a nice diversion from the pain that was starting to set in near the end of those. Frosty Paws, and Bounce were moving as well. MAD, I don’t know how you do that with a 30 lb. ruck, but well done!

Apologies for the late BB – it’s been one of those weeks. We all get them. However, it was great to Q Hydra again; it’s been a while. Thanks for the opportunity Marge and Queen. Hopefully, I haven’t totally destroyed your Site Q credibility in week 1! Queen, thanks for the takeout.

Happy Easter everyone. We’re all forgiven because of the price He paid on the Cross. He is risen!
