23 men came to follow me around the Marvin Ridge campus on this damp morning. After a quick review of campus conditions with some pre-runners, I gave the DICCS and we were off at 5:30. The pack did a great job sticking together, did I run slow or did the Gazelles run slower?
Warm Up:
A mosey to the high school awning had an audible to turn and pick up Jingles and Shank N Bake. At the rear awning the disclaimer was given and we proceeded with:
20 – SSH
20 – Potato Pickers
20 – Merkins (civilian count)
20 – Mountain Climbers
The Thang:
Mosey to the front of the high school past the globe to the first island and partner up. While one partner runs to just past the small building by the busses the other is completing:
Once completed we moseyed to the sidewalk (watch out for the mud boys) on the south side of the Jr. High and alternated 10 Squats and 5 Big Boys at each light till we circled back into the table area at the rear of the cafeteria.
Partner up again (new partners), while partner one runs a flag route to the sidewalk chain (hang left a the busses) the other was completing:
Once completed one more fun fill station which we almost got through before time was called. Yes I called for a Burpee on my modified triple nickel. It was not 5- 5- 5. It was 10-5-1 so we can call it a Dime Nickle Penny. From the lower lot by the football field we completed 10 Merkins, ran to the first island, completed a Burpee, then rinse and repeat 5 times.
Learned I need to step it up on intensity as there was not a lot of groaning going on and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Audiles can be a touchy subject in WUC, and I need to put the weinke on the phone or get a headlamp. I appreciate the post COT feedback and will incorporate that into the next Q.
Moleskin:
Thank you Johnny Utah for taking us out.
