Gopher at Bagpipe

14 PAX made the right choice for their #DRP and with a quick disclaimer we were off.

COP:

Mosey down Brixham Hill making  a left into a random office parking lot for the COP.

  • SSH x 20
  • IW x 20
  • Merkins x 15
  • Squats x 20

The Thang:

Mosey over to Ballanytne Corporate Park, and partner up, speed matters, for a version of the Gopher. Partner 1 runs a lap around the putting green and does Merkins x 10, Lunges x 10 (each leg) and LBCs x 10 while partner 2 takes a lap the pond behind the Goddard School. Return to the middle for 10 hand slap Merkins. Repeat until time is called.

Head back to the start point stopping along the way for Heels to Heaven x 15 and Merkins x 10. It’s BRR season and the Vine parking lot was full of BRR runners at #Swift, move to the parking lot across from the Vine for some Mary.

Mary:

  • Flutter x 15
  • Rosalita x 15
  • Dolly’s  x 15
  • LBCs x 15
  • Windmill x 15 (sort of)

Moleskinny:

  • Great group today, a large AO with a lot of opportunities. After looking through some recent #Bagpipe backblasts YHC wanted to try something different, no parking deck and no Loch Ness.The Gopher is a #Death Valley favorite so YHC thought we’d give it a try. It’s a good one to keep the PAX moving, partner work, and some PT.
  • YHC almost missed the workout due not setting the alarm last night. Thankfully due to F3, we walk up OYO.
  • Pleasant surprise seeing Snoopy from A51 posting the Bagpipe AO for the first time because he missed his Monday workout, nice job out there.
  • Mario and Mermaid were crushing it out front, no surprise there, #LarryBirds.
  • Frehley AKA “Tiger Rag” had another late night, not because of vodka this time but due to having to land in Greensboro and then drove a rental back to Charlotte.
  • When we partnered up by speed, Morning After got the short end of the stick getting partnered with YHC, a #Clydesdale. Strong work out there brother.
  • Good seeing Hula Girl out there again for his 3rd post, I think he’s hooked.
  • When we arrived from Mary there were some drive-bys from the Swift PAX.
  • When called do do Mary Cadance Outback stopped at 5 Windmills, when YHC continued the exercise, the PAX was having nothing of it, #Mutiny.
  • Great meeting Haggis’ brother Doubtfire at COT from across the Pond.
  • Thanks to Bucky for the opportunity to lead, it was an honor and please sound off with any #mumblechatter.
