Blackhawk: No Show Turns into a Show

Blackhawk: No Show Turns into a Show

YHC threw the invite out to Fallout to Q on this crisp September morning but was shot down due to family visiting town. Totally understood, so YHC put together some ideas…over a few Friday Night brews. 3 took part in the pre-trail run and despite some near falls and twisted ankles we were all participators in the main event. 6 gathered in the parking lot….make that 7 as Fallout rolls in pulling the reverse “Flint-Commit”. YHC gave him the opportunity to take over the reigns but after suggesting 60min of running, reigns rescinded for fear of mutiny on behalf of the other 6 PAX. Quick disclaimer given and off we went:

Warm-Up

• Short mosey around the parking lot and back to launch
• Butt Kickers to opposite end of parking lot
• High Knees to opposite end of parking lot
• Lunge Walk/Backwards lunge walk to opposite end of parking lot
• Toy Soldier to opposite end of the parking lot
• Mosey to the pond

Moleskin

Awesome morning for a workout and YHC managed to make it through the trail run without gaining a new spider web sweater as the web breaker. Fallout, you fooled me but glad to have you out to the BHAWK. Bodybag won the stamina award during the merkins as YHC could only sit there and watch as he belted out what looked to be 5o merkins alternating between Diamond and Regular, STEERONG. Solid work by my partner Ringer as I believe we set the pace on the Burpee Broad Jumps trying to get them over as quickly as possible. I robbed you of the opportunity to do one more set as a lollygagged back to the line just as you were finishing up our aggregate core exercise. The guy that really through off my day was Jingles…or should I say Jingle-LESS. The day just didn’t feel right and it was announced that Jingles did not transition over his bells to the new kicks. That needs to happen so that the world can rotate properly on it’s axis again. Glad to see Mysterio back out in the gloom as he was able to help me exchange some un-pleasantries with Atlas on the way out.

Freebirds new hours at 8:00 combined with Gert as our opening act for breakfast was not ideal. Appreciate the fellowship but damn, we were all about to eat our arms off. Will re-evaluate in a couple of weeks to see if our 7:45 early arrival is still acceptable.
