Chasin’ the Deer Tail

Chasin’ the Deer Tail

Rolled up to SCMS about 5:20 for a little recon prior to launch.  I’m always a favorite of the track behind the front left baseball field closest to the car park.  Uncle Leo had spotted my going toward the fence, and when I did, I apparently startled a deer about 20 feet in front of me, which quite nearly scared the crap out of me too.  Looked to my right about 30 feet and there were two more eyeing me up.  So, decided to about face and come back to the lot, and have at it again.  Walked down the path behind the field and def noticed that most of the trail has a washout line basically right in the middle of it, which would be a total ankle breaker.  This was Omaha #1.

Omaha #2 came basically when Dolly let me know that it was 5:29, and there were five us about to launch.  Whatever I had planned for partners or three man teams was immediately scrapped as well.  However, with five, I was immediately able to hone in on which starting 5 from NBA’s yesteryear that would playing today.

Schmedium – Center – Rik Smits:  Shmeeed has a Euro quality about him, is fundamentally sound, and sneaky fast (a la the Dunkin Dutchman)

Puddin Pop – Power Foward – Xavier McDaniel: Like the X-Man, YHC is a bull in a China shop, that tires easily

Uncle Leo – Small Forward – Detlef Schrempf:  Leo works out like a calm captain in calamitous waters.  The Grand Teuton played the same way for 16 years.

Dollywood – Shooting Guard – Joe Dumars: Dolly is as steady as rock, can turn on the jets when he needs to, and when he speaks up people listen.  Mister Louisiana won back to back championships, being a calming influence to the Bad Boys.

Frosty Paws – Point Guard – Derek Harper: Paws was much like DH in that he wouldn’t kill you with speed, but he the consummate tactician, and has the talk to back it up.

Well, now that we have the starting 5 identified, and properly disclaimed, we were off.

Mosey down to the track for a lap to warm up the lungs, then COP at the starting corner.

Head to the goal line on the freshly cut Shockers field for another rendition of the Red Barchetta.

Brought this out to the Hydra pax a couple weeks ago, while perusing the #exicon for some new blood.

Run 100 yards for 100 SSHs, mosey back to start

Run 75 yards for 75 MCs, mosey back to start

Run 50 yards for 50 LBCs, mosey back to start

Run 25 yards for 25 Merkins, mosey back to start

Enough of that, mosey down to the bleachers between the ball fields (Deer sighting #2 on big field on left)

Circuit work on bleachers with 30 Dips, 20 Step/jump ups, 15 Supine Pullups; however, in between each set, run back up the path, up the steps and around the #powertriangle back to the bleachers.

Did some Mary to catch the breath a bit

Mosey onto big front left ball field, hoping our brown fuzzy friends had found a way out of the fence, head to the outfield.

Umm, yep, there they were, actually on the other side of the fence, and hurriedly hopped into the woods across the path.

Start at the break between the infield and outfield, just behind 2nd base, run to right field foul pole for 30 merkins, run back to start spot for 5 burpees; run to center field warning track area for 20 wide-arm merkins, back to start for 5 burps; run to left field foul pole for 20ish diamonds, back to start for 5 burps.

Run back through the fence opening at left field foul pole, at the base of the hill behind Gloss’ office for Triple Nickel.

5 squats at top

5 LBCs at bottom

5 times up and down

Mosey over to Gloss’ office for wall sits + 50 air presses (repeato)

Just enough time for Dolly to lead us into 2 mins of Protractor

Done

Memories

Great group out there this morning.  Upon calling the LBCs during the #RedBarchetta, Dolly asked if we were gearing up for some GoRuck event with wallowing in the wet grass.  It’s just a little moisture on your back dude, no Tunnel o’ Love being called or nothing.

Frosty Paws is still on the mend from Pneumonia, but he is posting like a boss.  Keep it up brother.

As stated in starting 5 bios, both Leo and Schmeed were steadily crushing each exercise with apparent ease.

Dolly was the #LarryBird of the group, as per the yooouszh.

Enjoyed it fellas, thanks to Dolly and Smokey for the opp.

Thanks to Frosty Paws for the prayer this morning.
