Birthed in the Bombogenesis

Birthed in the Bombogenesis

From Waverly exploratory workout #1 on 1/5/18

Recently it became clear that PAX from both Ballantyne and Western UC were interested in starting a Friday bootcamp at the new behemoth of a mixed use shopping center, Waverly (Prov Rd. & Ardrey Kell).  An exploratory bootcamp was organized w/ Argonaut on Q.  Argo had a late-breaking conflict, leaving PAX w/ yours truly.

Meteorologists described the current weather pattern as a “bombogenesis”.  Seemed fitting for us (at least the genesis part) since this was surely the start of something.  After a hypothermia & frostbite-centric disclaimer (11 degrees at 0530), we were off into uncharted territory (also un-sharted territory since Mario wasn’t there).

COP (all IC): 15 IW, 15 SSH, 15 lateral cotton pickers, 15 MC, 15 merkins

Mosey to 4-story parking deck behind Whole Foods.  10 burpees @ level 1.  Run up ramp to level 2.  10 burpees & 20 American hammer.  Down stairs to level 1, then up ramps to level 3.  10 burpees, 20 American hammer & 30 flutter.  Down stairs to level 1, then up ramps to level 4.  10 burpees, 20 American hammer, 30 flutter & 40 LBC’s.  Down stairs and plank for the six.

Mosey South to traffic circle for a 4-leg starfish.  10 plank jacks @ end of each leg & 10 plank jacks each time back to the center.

Mosey to shopping area courtyard for short wall pinball.  Run from wall to wall around the courtyard, stopping for 10 reps of wall-related exercises.  We did incline merkins, jump-ups, dips, derkins, hip-slappers, step-ups, Bulgarian split-squats and donkey kicks.

At narrow road w/ shops/boutiques on either side, starting at Chuy’s, perform 10 Freddie Mercuries at each of 10 trees.

Mosey back to start and elbow plank for remaining 1 minute.

There is no longer any doubt. This is going to be a great AO.  It is gigantic and has all the the features you would want.  The amazing thing is, Rea Farms, a 2nd mixed use shopping center currently in early development on the other side of Prov Rd, is even bigger than Waverly.  Once that is finished this AO will be a two-headed monster of bootcamp goodness.

There are also plenty of good options already for coffeeteria and/or 3rd F: Panera, Chick-fil-A and Starbucks w/ more coming.

It is also strategically located on the fringes of A51, Ballantyne and Western UC.  YHC sincerely hopes that PAX from all 3 areas converge on this site regularly once it is launched.

Huge thanks to the 5 bros that left their comfort zones or fart sacks this morning to explore w/ me in 11 degree weather. It was awesome.
