The Widow Maker

The Widow Maker

5 brave men joined me for a cold wet workout this morning.  I have started venturing out to other AO’s to post as well as Q and I’m glad I did, this is a good site.  Yesterday I rode by the site and did some recon and found some good hills through a quiet neighborhood that would make for some good running.  Little did I know the local pax already had a name for one of the nasty hills… The Widow Maker.

The Thang:

Disclaimer given: General had to change shoes since I assured him and the Pax we would stay on the pavement. 

• 2 slow laps around parking lot
• 50 SSH IC
• 10 Merkins

Lets Mosey – Headed across the street to the quiet neighborhood.  Approx 2 miles total

• Top of every hill 5 merkins
• Bottom of every hill 5 squats

On the way back I called a squat/merkin ladder Triple Nickel on the widow maker, it was not fun. 

Back to the school and head to bus parking lot

• 5 burpees at first building
• Lunge walk to next
• 5 more burpees
• bear crawl to last building

• Merkin Suicides from start of lot to the start of the baseball field.  Atlas said, “we are running that far, do we really need merkins too?” why yes, yes we do and increase by 1 each time. Our last suicide we were at 10 merkins total and around 4.5miles in.  I promised 5+ miles and we had about 8 mins left, no problem!

Run back to baseball at top of bus parking lot. 

• 20 Monkey Humpers (I dont even like typing that) at left field
• 30 speed skaters (each leg) center field
• 30 Monkey Humpers right field.

Start mosey back – 5 mins to go…

• First light pole 1 burpee, second pole 2 burpees, third pole 1 burpee, back to 2 burpees……

One min…jail break back – Count off! 5.12 miles

Everyone pushed hard, stayed together and still managed to talk a bit.  Thanks to the General for the opportunity to lead.
