Threats of Rain Send Dolphins Indoors

YHC aint gonna lie, I mailed this one in.  Over the proceeding weekend I had participated in the most gruesome endurance event of my life, and my legs were still noodles on Wednesday.  Thursday evening no inspiration had struck and YHC was left digging through old back-blasts to find something to work off of, then it happened.  Wanting to make sure BRR runners had some incline to deal with I’d looked to former parking garage weinke’s and I saw the typo… catch me if you can’t….

The THANG:

Mosey towards the roundabout from the vine, circle back to pick up Mario who failed to remind Leo to set his alarm, resume mosey and pull in next to Duckworths for COP

-25 X SSH

-25 X Low Slow Jump Squats

Resume mosey to the bottom of the hill, hang a left and cross over Ballantyne commons into the neighborhood next to The Village.  Proceed through neighborhood and into the village next to Ye Olde Parking Structure.  5s on the hill down to the basement (Burpees at the top, hand release merkins at the bottom.)

Resume Mosey up to the top of the structure to find the party favors.  Split in two teams, 6 Pax each.  3 Pax stay with the party favors, 3 run to the bottom of the structure and run back up.  Meanwhile those who stay behind performed:

15 Straight leg deadlifts w/ 60 lbs sandbag

-or-

5 Squat/Curl/Press/Slam with 40 lbs. slam ball

-or-

10 (each leg) lunges with 20 kg bumper plate

Commence walking towards the bottom of the structure until runners return, Runners take party favors and commence exercises, those who just lifted heavy things run to the bottom and back up.  Each switch the PAX grabbed a different party favor and once we got two close to the bottom we started running to the top and back.  6 rounds were had.

 

Arriving back at the ground level, assume peoples chair on the square pillars (3 groups of four) and pass party favor (slam ball or plate) around in a clockwise manor 5X.  Take a break then resume for another 5X.

Mosey back across Ballantyne Commons arriving at the roundabout.  6 Pax mosey to the stop sign at the bottom of the hill and AYG back while the other 6 perform burpees.  Flapjack.  Repeato but with high-low plank jacks.

Mosey to cars – LBCs, Rosalitas, Heals to Heaven

DONE

 

Moleskin:  For a half-conceived reversed version of a tried and true format, this one worked out pretty well.  YHC continues to be amazed how hard it is to follow his directions (first group did all three exercises… maybe YHC should slow down when McSplaining things.)  Several PAX opened the morning saying they wouldn’t run with weights, worrying about their precious BRR legs… so they walked with them while performing weighted exercises and then ran hills… big difference there?!?

Its always a pleasure to Q TheBrave and thanks to ThinMint, FireHazard, and Mario for having me out.  the PAX always throw down hard and are gluttons for funishment.

For the first time ever, YHC was given the highest honor any Q can receive.  Haggis looks over and grunts “that was a good one.”  Never been prouder… EVER

In a couple days we’re headed off into the mountains to do something stupid and awesome and dangerous, I cannot wait.
