DMZ – Prime

DMZ – Prime

Same day delivery on your backblast, faster than Amazon at Christmas. 

The backblast is becoming a thing of the past, sadly.  Truthfully, that’s the best part of Q’ing.  Or leading anything, really…telling its story.

It was colder than expected this morning.  Think everyone would agree with that.  Go to bed anticipating low 40s, and it’s mid 30s.  It’s little things like this that bother us.  Heck, it’s been those kinds of little things (cold, rain, or a bad night of sleep) that’s kept YHC from posting lately.  And it’s become noticeable.  Fortunately, having a Q on the calendar forces the issue.

At 0530 + a few seconds for Film Fest to mosey over (while watching in vain for a late arrival or two running in from FXE #lando), a group of 17 launched into the chilly gloom for today’s edition of DMZ.

Slower than normal start, moseying down Camilla, hanging a left onto Thornridge and a right onto Broad Hollow.  Mtn Climber warm up at the bottom before a true Jacob’s Ladder.  Plank for the six, then LBCs x 25 IC.

Mosey up Broad Hollow, left on Kimblewyck, left on Hartmill, right onto Sharon View, right onto Rock Creek.

Stop at the yellow fire hydrant, which we deemed the “top” to partner up. Also realized at this point that we were missing Upchuck (MIA).  Cold Cuts rescue mission failed.

 P1 – runs to the bottom for 10 jump lunges (each side) and backward run to the top.
P2 – 15 merkins, then squats until partner returns.  Repeato.

Hill was longer going up than down, which could be attributed to the backward running uphill.  Upchuck didn’t find us.  More Mary before beginning the mosey back up Sharonview, turning left onto Hartmill…when Upchuck reappears.  Lunges to allow him to re-join the group, then mosey back to Broad Hollow.  More LBCs (51 – crowd pleaser).

Jacob’s Ladder #symmetry, with most getting to 6ish before an Omaha to return to base.  Timing would’ve worked perfectly as we arrived at 0614, leaving a minute for more Mary.  Fin.

Not a ton of mumble chatter today, or YHC wasn’t listening.  One Eye, Cold Cuts, and Hammer led the way.  Hammer seemed way out front on the final Jacob’s ladder.  Total mileage of just under 3.  Almost an F3Naps morning.  Chappy was a little premature on the audible call.  SemiGloss wore a Benjamin Moore toboggan #odd.  Bunch of regulars missing and still 17 strong.  Started with 17 and ended with 17 – so despite another close call, still no drops.  Key is safely stashed under the mat, Aquafresh.  Thanks!
