How Far Is Too Far to Pull the Hose?

How Far Is Too Far to Pull the Hose?

PAX:  Bernanke, Woody, Hair Band, Bullwinkle, Gypsy & Christmas

That’s what she said. That quote was hear within minutes of the PAX leaving the dim warm dome light in their vehicles. I think it was because they witnessed YHC pulling the hose out of Gypsy’s truck. Various moans & groans could be heard. A witty comment or 2 was made and “That’s what she said” quickly followed. YHC signed up to Q Thrive a several weeks back and was excited to get back to one of the best bootcamp AOs in A51. YHC had no idea snow & ice would fall a few days before #Cantore, but Tuesday AM was cold & dry. Sadly, several PAX decided to fartsack and missed the fun that followed.

It went down like this.

Leave the parking lot and mosey down the side street to the far end.  Circle up for SSH in cadence.  Perform SSH until 6 joins the COP.  (We did 50 IC)

Mosey down the street behind Carolina Courts to the other end.  Perform Low Slow Squats until the 6 catches up. (We did 25 LSS)

Mosey down the street to the left of CC and stop at the 3rd corner for Mountain Climbers until 6 catches up. (We did 25 MC in cadence and then switched to Merkins)

Complete the 4 corners of COP by running back to the cars.  Mix in a shuffle to the right & a shuffle to the left.  Halt at the picnic shelter & find a partner

• Round 1:  P1 holds a plank position while P2 performs bench dips with feet on P1.  20 reps in cadence.  Flap jack
• Round 2:  P1 holds a plank position while P2 performs Derkins with feet on P1.  10 reps in cadence.  Flap jack

Mosey to side street #1 for station work (there just happened to be a 40ft firehose laying around).

• Station 1 (timer) = firehose pull – 50yds down & 50 yds back
• Station 2 = Merkins
• Station 3 = Prisoner Squats
• Station 4 = LBC
• Station 5 = Carolina Tri Docks
• Station 6 = Reverse Lunges

Station 7 = American Hammer

Perform exercise at your station until hose gets back.  Shift 1 spot to the left.  Repeato until everyone has had a turn on the hose.  #thatswhatshesaid

10 minutes left.  Plenty of time for Dan Taylor & Jack Webb.  Dan Taylor is Jack’s 2nd cousin on his mother’s side.  It’s 1 full squat followed by 4 lunges.  Jack Webb is 1 merkin followed by 4 air presses

• Dan Taylor – 1:4 –> 5:2
• Jack Webb – 1:4 –> 5:20

Finish up with Mary – LBC x 20, Flutter x 20 in cadence

MOLESKIN

It’s been a while since the fire hose has been to Thrive.  I’m sure the PAX would all like it to be a while before it makes its return.  That 50+/- yards each way was a killer.  Lots of chatter the night before about posting in the cold, moist temps.  That’s all it was — chatter, because none of the talkers bothered to show.  YHC heard at least 5-6 “That’s What She Said” references.  They come all to easy when the hose is out (that’s what she said).
