Nostalgia at Rock Zero

Nostalgia at Rock Zero

12 men posted for the now combined Saturday workout – Rock Zero.  (2 others were across the lot at High T and joined us for the first 5 minutes and the last 5.  Suckers for joining us on the last 5)

Full and complete disclaimer that would stand up in court was given and off we moseyed.

Head towards High T group and invite Hoover and Ickey to join us for COP:

SSH, IW, Merkins, Mountain Climbers, Low Slow Squats – the usual.  I could tell Ickey and Hoover were looking forward to unloading more gear out of Hoover’s car, so we left them and headed out of Calvary and down 51.  Stop at Elm to gather the PAX with a little planking then on to McAlpine Elementary.

Partner up.

P1 Run around school and do 10 pull-ups on pull-up bars and back.  P2 stays at benches and does 15x Lil’ Haze Right leg, 15x Lil’ Haze Left leg, 15 dips and repeat until P1 returns.  Flapjack, complete 3 rounds each.  Finish with some planks.

Head up and over Caswell despite the groans from most except Rachel who thought he was getting an escort back to the house.  Settle up a the bottom of Caswell.

Triple Nickel – Jump Squats with 2 hands touching the ground at the top, 8-count Body Builders at the bottom.  All exercises 5x each and repeat up and down the hill 5 times.

If finished early backwards jog up hill.

Run back home via Bevington and Rea with stops for planks, held squats, and Derkins with feet on the top handrail.

Run back to Calvary, sucker High T to join, then go immediately to North Face for run up, 20 Flutters, back down and repeat.

Head back to launch, Flipper says we have 30 seconds left, so we did 5 burpees.

Moleskine:

Strong work by all out there today.  I don’t think Big League Chew and Jet Fuel liked the longer distance but they were digging in the whole time.  I really could’t do that many merkins due to BLC crushing them yesterday at Kevlar.  Had to audible out and run instead.

Prohibition and Flipper thought it was wise to pre-run.  It wasn’t.

Fault Line and Deep Dish were neck and neck behind me the whole morning as we all tried to catch Rachel.  We did a little reminiscing about his FNG post.  He came out because he saw a bunch of dudes running around his ‘hood on a Saturday morning and thought it looked like fun.  He crushed it that day.

Purple Haze is cranking back up the workouts and was good to see.  Prohibition cried about what shoes to wear and get dirty because they were new and fancy or something.  In the end he left his purse in the car and came out with us.

Flipper maintained good site Q status watching the 6 more me and taking us out in the end.

Other stuff happened but I was too busy swatting the hordes of gnats that seemed to follow us around the whole morning.
