Another Monday morning in the gloom- another opportunity to start the week off right at Base Camp.
After a little bit of scouting around the neighborhood to make sure what I had planned would work, 16 pax circled up, and after a detailed disclaimer, and Admiration of how the sweat glistens on YHC by the PAX, we got it going:
The Thang
Mosey to the front Parking lot
15 SSH
5 Burpees
15 Imperial walkers
15 Mountain Climbers
Head out of the parking lot down Wood Fox
Left onto Rounding Run
Dynamic stretching- Heels, Toes, Butt Kickers, High Knees
Park it at the top of the hill after Rising Run
Triple 5s on the halfpipe:
At the top of the hill, 5 LBCs
Bottom of the hill, start with one Merkin (add a Merkin each time you reach the bottom of the hill)
Top of the next hill, 5 LBCs-
Repeat until you end with 5-5-5
Repeato, but with LSS, CDD, LSS
Snake Run back to launch (or because of Q-Mutiny, to the Middle of Woodfox, and mosey the rest of the way)
To the wall for the people’s chair plus air presses
Mary:
20 LBCs, 20 Flutter kicks, 20 Rosalita
End
Moleskin
When asked to Q, I asked Drano what the breakdown for Base Camp looked like, and he mentioned somedays look more like a bootcamp, some days morel like a running workout. Seeing that I was born out of Mountain Goat, I leaned towards more running- Strava had us at 2.8 miles.
Goonie seemed to think this workout would’ve been a better off on a Tuesday at Fast Twitch- even as he led the pack for most of the morning. I personally am of the mindset that the “moderate workout” phrasing is more like a… suggestion.
The Mumble Chatter was loud and rowdy today- aFireman Ed and Simba were admiring how I was glistening from my pre-run sweat-I admit it’s a problem. However the further we ran, the less mumble chatter I heard. Interesting how that works.
The triple 5s was a combination of sevens and a triple nickel on a half pipe (if some name has been coined for this already, let me know) and it was a smoker.
The idea was for the snake run to be at mosey pace back to launch, but as Insomniac pointed out it seems once the run starts, mosey turns into AYG. Thus, with a quarter of a mile or so left, the Snake Run fell apart, and turned into a slow mosey back.

Thanks so much Goonie and Drano (even if you had to leave for a “meeting”) for the opportunity to Q-always a pleasure. I can’t think of a better way to hit the week running than Base Camp
