Dromedary 77.0

Dromedary 77.0

The parking lot wasn’t empty at Marvin Ridge HS at 0510 this morning when the Q arrived, but only one PAX was still hanging around the cars. Eventually, 45 PAX set off at 0530 and performed the First annual Dromedary 77.0 Tri.

The Thang:

Disclaimer given

Head out for long Mosey, and Q sheds a layer.

Mosey through the bus lot to the soccer practice fields. Circle up at the center circle for the opening circle of pain.

• 10 count merkins IC (5 count to go down, 5 count to come back up)
• Full Mountain Climbers IC (slow cadence and right foot lands on ground when right knee touches right elbow)
• Standing Lunges IC
• Imperial Walkers + Chorus Line extension IC
• Side Lunges IC
• Peter Parker IC, hold it and then
• Parker Peter

Run Over to Soccer goal, find a group of 3 for 3 man Grinders. 1 man stays to do exercise, 2&3 run to far side of field, 2 stays at other side and does same 1st exercise, 3 runs back across to relieve 1. Keep the grind going. Exercises were:

• Hand release Merkins
• Diamonds
• Wide Arm
• 10 count merkins
• Repeato through set again
• American hammer called until all groups finish

Mosey toward globe and down side of high school. Leaders do 10 LBCs at each light post while 6 catches up. The 6 can just keep running if they want. Regroup back in Main Lot with LBCs.

Slalom run through the middle island around the crape myrtle. Regroup at the railings entering the stadium in a plank with some space between you and the next man.

On the railings packed line sardines:

• Inch Worm Plank for 1 minute (standing start, walk hands out to plank position, 1 Merkin, walk hands back up to standing)
• Standing Merkins on rail for 1 minute (face rail, lean forward to grasp top rail, lower to inclined Merkin position, then explode to erect position. Again, explode then erect. Not the other way around.)
• Scorpion Fighter for 1 minute (feet on lower rail, 1 leg at a time, swing bent leg out away from body and then back towards opposite shoulder. Switch legs after 30 seconds)
• Derkins IC (feet on lower rail)

Back out to parking lot near launch point and circle up. Got a little hazy here. Think I’m missing something:

• Dolly IC
• Marching Bridge IC (starting position is on your six with feet pulled in until shins perpendicular to ground and raise your butt off the ground until shoulders hips and knees in line. Movement is Raise one knee to your chest and then back down. Flapjack after max could take reached on first leg).
• Flutter IC (with slower and faster cadence)
• Side Plank with Leg Lifts IC
• Take a Mosey lap to loosen the legs
• Windshield Wipers IC
• 5 burpees OYO

The Moleskin:

• No swim, no bike, a little run (just over a mile), but three main areas equal a Traithlon somehow.
• Suprisingly dry grass on the soccer field for such a warm morning. Perhaps is was the short manicured grass that the Booster Club pays for.
• Some speedy 3 man grinder groups and no surprise that Dasher and Soft Pretzel were a part of that one. Don’t know the third. Dasher did have some extra adrenaline this morning after killing a snake with his bare hands (that held a rock) on his pre-pre-run and then getting scared by Goodfella and YHC doing just a Pre-run but emerging from the darkness.
• The Chimneys crew of Aztec (when is his VQ???), Boucher, and Johnny Utah had a rival clown car to those from Lawson with whoever Foundation threw in his trunk.
• Old Macdonald had big feet that didn’t fit on the skinny rails, so he just levitated with skills learned from the chicken hawks down on the farm.
• Posse and Cobbler were in the second best grinder trio after the results were tallied, but it’s always interesting trying to spot your partner across a dark field. I was easy to spot in the pink singlet missing from my wife’s running drawer, so don’t know what their problem was finding me.
• Thanks for Goodfella taking us out.
