I have never had the pleasure of Qing the new, Sparta AO! I have also never received so many texts leading up to a leadership experience for an F3 event. The bulk, ok – all, of the text came from Hair Band. He seemed to be concerned with whether or not it was going to be a true running workout. I include this quote so you may get the gist of our conversation where he said, “are you going to run 6 miles and let me die in a ditch on the side of the road Thursday?” After three long text (each containing about three sentences) about how I should structure the workout, I assured him that we would do something where we would be all together in case we needed to call for back up to resuscitate him.
The thang…
After a disclaimer was given and we were off for a mosey around to the main building of Socrates Academy where we found “the board.”
No time for the usual… so we headed straight to the menu of pain.
Instructions: Do #1 and run a lap. Upon return, do #1 and #2 and run a lap and so on and so forth all the way through #12 and then run a lap…
We made it all the way through. We started over and made it back up to 5 before moseying back to the COT.
Moleskin
Even though there were a lot of exercises, we still got in over 3.5 miles. I never lost sight of HB for more than 45 seconds and he never ended up in a ditch. Joker, balked on most burpees, but sprinted every lap. I cannot keep up with him and he is my nemesis – there, I said it. Arsenal rolled with Hair Band. Arena is the definition of consistency! I only once heard him mumble something about destroying the board. Really – Arena? You are a family man. How could you even think about doing that to my kids’ board!
The board lives on! And, thankfully, so does HB!
