Lollapalooza

Lollapalooza

Based on site Q pre-tweet last night, 16 PAX arrived at Calvary thinking Anvil would be Lollapalooza (do Baptists even allow Lollapalooz’a on their property).  None of the PAX bothered to buy a ticket from the Q in advance so YHC decided to switch from providing the beat to providing a beat-down.

The Thang:

Disclaimer properly given once Brilleaux walks up (right as the clock hits go time).   We mosey to parking lot on other side of campus for quick warm up –

1. SSH X5 (cut short out of respect to Hops and Purple Haze – don’t know what came over me that led me to give those two any respect)
2. Mtn Climbers X15
3. Diamonds X10
4. Slow squats X10
5. 5 burpees

Over to base of hill near ball field for Jacobs Ladder.   Run up to top of hill and back down.  One burpee.   Repeat the hill run for 7 trips increasing the burpee count up to 7 on last leg.  Lorax out front but the dude is only 32 (or something like that) so no VT for him

Find a partner and line up abreast on the soccer field.    Partner 1 does called exercise while partner 2 does a mini suicide to small goal and back and then large goal and back.  Flap jack with partner

Round 1 – Merkins and dolly while partner does bear crawl to small goal, sprint back, then sprint to far goal and backward run back to start line

Round 2 – Wide arms and flutter while partner does lunge walk to small goal, sprint back, karoke down to large goal and karaoke back

Round 3 – Partner carry to small goal and back, flapjack, and then alternate sprint down to large goal and backward run back

Round 4 –  Carolina dry docks and LBC’s while partner broad jumps to small goal, runs back, and then sprint to large goal and backward run back.

Mosey up to pavilion for 3 quick sets of circuit work (10, 15, 10) – Step ups, dips, and decline merkins

Mosey down to rock pile and grab one rock per team.  Line up abreast in the parking lost.  Alternate short and long run down lot while partner does curls, push presses, and lateral extensions.    We ran two sets for each partner (roughly).

Drop off rock and head down to lower lot near where we park.    Partner 1 does inverted plank leg lifts (sounds good even if that is not what it is called) while partner 1 does lunge walk half way down, sprint the other half and then backward run back.   We may have done another circuit but I don’t remember for sure.

Back to starting point for some mary and stretching (wise old man move).

Naked Moleskin (someone may have to tell Dangerfield what that means along with Merkin or he can google it).

Strong group out this am.   Caddilac building up some steam coming of IR (a two year IR but at least he’s back).   Cobains to him as we went over 2 miles even though I told him I would try to keep it under 2 miles.   Kingswood was representing strong with YHC, Caddilac, and Dr. Belding.    We are ready to take on any hood.

Lots of whining from the regulars.  The grass was recently cut and moist so it was a little uncomfortable but that makes us stronger (and smellier).   Bug Eater threatened to leave early but it was an empty threat since it didn’t come until 6:08.  Purple Haze just likes to haze YHC but complaining about the runs at the end was out of character.

No BRR runners in the group but that is understandable  – this was not really a Taper workout.   We discussed Spike Ball as an alternative so I may be reaching out to a few PAX to see if we can come up with a workout based on the game.  Way more fun then running.  Team Flat-n-the-Hills heading up to Hanibal estate for some fellowship tomorrow night to honor the end of our 4 year streak and to provide well wishes to teams at exchange zone 6 before heading back to Charlotte.    Might be some spots open so hit him up.

Announcements:

Best wishes to all the teams running BRR and please continue to pray for Palmer family and Jennings recovery.

As always, a privilege and honor to lead this am.
