Heroes in a Halfshell

Heroes in a Halfshell

14 men took on the challenge this morning… and by that I mean escaping from the thing that crawled out of Lochness and was in our path while we were running.  More on that in a minute.

The Thang:

Mosey for a while and form COP: 10 windmills, 10 low slow squats, 10 mountain climbers, 10 merkins all IC.

Mosey some more – 50 high knees, 50 butt kicks, make people think its Swift for a minute.

Arrive at the pond (not Lochness, the other one).  Groups of three.  P1 runs the lap, P2 runs the hill, P3 does merkins.  Rotate through until everyone has ran.  Then round 2 = P1 runs the lap, P2 runs the hill backwards, P3 does LBCs.

Move on to the hill behind the pond and leading up to the back of the bull ring.  20 walking lunges and run to the top (~.25 mile).  Mary at the top and back down.  10 six count burpees IC then run the hill again.  Mary at the top.

Mosey to Lochness.  Do three laps around with 3 sets of 20 exercises per lap.  Lap 1 = derkins, Lap 2 = dips, Lap 3 = hip slappers.

(Sidebar:  It was on lap 1 that we saw it.  An actual mutant turtle.  I’m not a scientist but I believe a sea turtle mated with an armadillo and this thing was its offspring.  How else do you explain the size, the shape, the spikes on the shell?  I wish so bad we took a picture of this thing.  So bad)

Exercise Trail for a rotation of pull-ups, rock shoulder presses and merkins.  Then pull-ups, rock curls and diamond merkins.  This was not in the plan so you’re welcome FC and Haggis.

Take the long way home to get north of four miles and we’re done.

Announcements: Isabella Santos, F3 Golf and Christmas Party.  Something else I’m forgetting… please comment someone and sorry for not having the recorder going.
