Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

6 veterans and 1 FNG (Jimmy Dean, more on that later) showed up to RockZero to test their themselves on this seasonably warm September morning.  Here’s is what happened between 7AM – 8AM.

The Thing:

Slow mosey over to Rea Rd library and circle up for IW, arm circles and plank jacks.

Next, we jogged to Davie Park for the main event….Two lampposts forward, one lamppost back.   Run forward to the second lamppost and do called exercise (10 merkins).  Once complete, run backward one lamppost and perform the called exercise (20 parker peters).  Repeat pattern until no further lamppost remain.  Next we knocked out three quick sets of dips and step ups, 20 each.  Following this, we repeated two lampposts forward and one lamppost back with 5 double merkin burpees and 10 (each side) cumberland county viaducts.  At this point YHC was fading so we grabbed some wall until the Pax successfully stated the ABC’s both forward and backwards (harder than it sounds).  With 15 minutes remaining it was time to head back to RockZero with stops along the way for some core work and a few sprints.

Moleskin:

Pax pushed themselves hard this morning, and the FNG held his own as well.  And speaking of the FNG, he was 8.  Jimmy Dean is Boerwors’ son, so we thought it best to keep the ‘sausage’ theme in the family.  Welcome Jimmy Dean.   We covered just about 4 miles as everyone kept moving at a brisk pace.  Great work by all and thanks to Sprockets for taking us out.
