A basketball starting lineup

A basketball starting lineup

5 men came out for a Death Valley original workout on an unusually nice morning in August.  At 5:30, a quick disclaimer was given and we set off for COP in the administrative parking lot of SCMS.

COP– SSH  x 15, IW x 15, LSS x 10, Merkins x 10, MC x 15

The THANG:

Mosey to William Davie Park and the PAX gathered at the light pole that marks the center point between the top parking lot and the playground.  The workout went like this:

Partner up– Dollywood and Smokey formed a formidable duo while myself, Deep Dish, and Joker formed a group.  P1 ran to the playground and did 10 pull-ups, 20 dips, and 30 LBCs.  P2 ran to the top parking lot and did 10 CDDs, 20 jump squats, and 30 LBCs.  The partners met back in the middle at the light pole for burpees–20 total for the two man group and 30 total for the three man group.  Repeato for a total of two visits to each spot and then mosey back to the SCMS parking lot.

Moleskin:

Noticing that there were 5 of us at departure, I examined the group to determine if we’d be an effective basketball team?  I quickly reached the conclusion that our starting 5 would get pounded on the interior!  We’d have to rely on Dollywood’s speed in transition, Smokey’s ball handling skills at point guard, Joker’s savy play and dead eye shooting skills at the #2 spot.  And, somehow, Deep Dish and I would need to hold down the fort on the inside–with our large frames I’m sure we’d have no problem holding our own!

Though small in numbers, it was a great group of the DV faithful and the workout allowed for a little more laid back chatter than normal.  My apologies for getting us back to SCMS at exactly 6:17.  However, we were able to get those 2 minutes back on a quick Name-O-Rama and Announcements.

Thanks to Dollywood and Smokey for the opportunity to lead. DV is a great AO and allows for a lot of variety in the workouts.
