No more super man!

No more super man!

5 pax joined me for my first Ignition Q which turned out to be pretty good except for one casualty. Knowing that only the elite choose Ignition, I was a bit intimidated to lead the Pax but the Q juice helped me through it and the fact that Bottle Cap finally slowed down.  To quote the Ignition man himself, Hollywood, “We are so badass we don’t need a back blast” – well here you go anyway.

Warmup:

Pretty long Mosey around the school – Circle up

• 20 IW IC
• 10 Merkins CC my down
• Potato Pickers – Turned into lunges and leg stretches.

Lets Mosey:

The Thang:

Head out towards the stop light at the top of Money Ball hill.  Hooked a right up the grassy/half dirt/filled with ruts and rocks hill.  Slowed for all pax and lit the way with my trusty headlamp.  Money Ball’s body language led me to believe he was not happy with the detour up the hill but once he saw the light he was good to go.

We crossed Cuthberson Rd and headed down the dark Waynewood Dr.

Every other house:

• 5 Merkins
• 10 speed skaters

My directions were cloudy, Bottle Cap wanted extra credit and did both exercises at the first house.  Nope, one at each house…alternate. I wanted to clock miles. Once he was clear on the directions we were off to the races! BC led the way all morning.

All pax pushed and at the intersection we caught BC. – Turn around and mosey back to the first house.

Every other house – All the way to the end of Waynewood Dr.

• 10 Merkins
• 20-speed skaters

Triple Nickel:

• 40 squat jabs at bottom
• 5 burpees at the top

On the third round, someone said is this it, oh yeah we are done.  BC, “I thought we were doing a nickel”… sorry, 2 more guys!! Thanks, BC, a real pal.  Finished the nickel

During the TN, Chunder injured his knee but being the young man that he is thought it would be wise to run it off.  Here he comes up the hill half skipping…we all told him almost in unison to stop and Marry or head back.  He took our advice and did some Marry and Merkins as he walked in an attempt to keep up…the dude is a worker!

We started Paula Abduls to stick with Chunder. We continued the 5 burpee/40 jabs back and forth, light pole to light pole.  Finally, MB made a great observation, “Hey Chunder, we are about 2 miles away, you might want to just head straight back”.  He did. We continued to the stop light at Cuthberson Rd.

I was gassed and asked BC to call the next exercise.  SUPERMANS! Following along like good Pax, we all were face down flailing around IC.  Chunder limped in and we moseyed to the last intersection where we would make a left and arrive at the stop light.

With Chunder gaining on us, Halfback called flutters, for no one was going to do the superman’s again until a few potholes were found.  Let’s just say, the road is rough and grinding on the pavement with thin shorts is like polishing a peach with 20 grit sandpaper.

Chunder now ahead of us, we approached the light.  Safely crossing the street we headed slowly back down the eroded mess of a hill.  Now named “Sprained Ankle”

At this point, I reminded Chunder that he had 4 minutes to get back… The energetic pax started running and his injured leg looked as if he had it strapped to a board.  It flew out to the side with each step, it was kinda funny.

As we approached we heard the cry of Posses theme music.  Ignition doesn’t Marry (much), MB – “suicides” We got in two and rolled up the COT.

The pax pushed very hard today, nice work! We cut up a bit but killed it all morning. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to lead you guys. We clocked 5.65 miles, nice work!
