6 PAX showed up on a humid July morning, unknowingly about to face the wrath of a sleep deprived Q…
The Thang:
An easy warmup with a lap of the short-track
SSH IC
IW IC
Another Lap
Mountain Climbers IC
Merkins IC
Somewhere around here, drano rolls in from the Java Run…
A stroll out to the benches for a quick circuit (see also: testing the knee out a bit)
10 Box Jumps
10 Dips
10 Incline Merkins
Plank-a-rama
Repeato x3
Then a mosey through the woods and we come to the (in)famous Ascent hill for a triple-nickel
5 rounds, 5 squats at the top of the hill, 5 merkins at the bottom.
Then a jog up one more long hill to Rea, a round of flutters to bring in the 6, then across the street to the rock pile.
The lifting pyramid went as such
2 Curls, 2 Overhead Press, 2 Tricep Extensions.
1 Burpee
4/4/4 – 2 Burpees
6/6/6 – 3 Burpees
8/8/8 – 4 Burpees
10/10/10 – 5 Burpees
Somewhere in here Q said something about last one… but then it went back down
8/8/8 – 4 Burpees
6/6/6 – 3 Burpees
4/4/4 – 2 Burpees
2/2/2 – 1 Burpee
A jog back across the parking lot for a quick hydration break
To the playground to do some pull-ups/merkins sets
Back to the school wall for the people’s chair with air presses and a tribute Moroccan Nightclub
Then circled up for a PAX choice Mary with some LBC’s, Dolly, Freddie Mercury, Mountain Climbers, and other exercises YHC forgot
Count, Names, Announcements, Ball O’ Man, and that’s a wrap.
NMM
A hot and humid morning, the sweat was pouring out in buckets. YHC was pleasantly surprised to not have every joint in his body falling apart mid-workout, a good sign that the recovery from last month’s non-F3 related injuries has been going well.
The mumblechatter was there, mainly Drano recruiting for driving BRR vans, and the excuses that the PAX had to avoid it (already scheduled races, birthdays, anniversaries, something about a scheduled vacation with their dogs for an iditarod training session, the usual basket of excuses)
Good to see Purell out again, even though he’s yet to post with the guy (in some roundabout way through the M’s or 2.0s, YHC forgot how) who EH’ed him. Good job Goon, the Black Tahoe was missed today.
Announcements:
Some BRR teams are looking for drivers. See Drano (I think it’s Slim Fast’s team)
