Where am i?

16 Pax posted for a mid-week beat down at still the smoothest AO pavement in the land.

YHC made a few stops on Tuesday searching for glow balls so I could lay out a PGA theme (which would have required an extended disclaimer, and maybe a few releases signed) but, alas, no luck, so I had to revert to more standard fair.

Began a bit distracted based on McGee’s aggressive midnight tweet that indicated a Q-jack could be in process.  So I showed up ready to man-up and protect my turf – all that adrenaline made it hard to focus on the task at hand.  But experience and maturity pays off.  Sort of.

 

The Thang:

Disclaimer issued and off we go on a slow mosey (aka AIG) around the parking lot to circle up for COP.

 

COP:

  • IW x 25 IC – – never enough
  • 4 burpees OYO
  • Man-Maker merkins x 15 IC
  • 8 burpees OYO
  • Bottom Squat x 15
  • 12 burpees OYO
  • LBC x 25
  • 8 burpees OYO
  • SSH x 25
  • 4 burpees OYO

 

All warm – slow mosey to another unnamed part of the AO.

No merkin ladder.  Today is the merkin sandwich.

 

Lunge Walk
10 x Jump Squat

Run up the unnamed section of pavement

10 x diamond merkin

Sprint to monument

10 x hand release merkin

Sprint back to center

10 x wide arm merkin

Start over.

3-ish rounds through.

 

Mosey to parking lot.

4 x strides between light poles

 

Then over to the rock pile for a lifting rock.

We alternate press, curl, tricep press and squat with various mary (flutter, dolly, LBC, Russian twist), repeating the earlier rock exercise in each round.  Too much to describe, but it took awhile.

 

Then we do another round, with the rest period being a run around the light pole.

 

Mosey back to the launch point and finish with some side crunches and Freddie Mercury.

 

And that’s about it.

 

 

Moleskin

That was a tricky hard workout and my arms are starting to get sore as I author this.  Good continuous work by all the pax.  I think there are now a few memo’s in my permanent file.  Lost my mind out there.  Shame.  Or not.
