Where are all the Duke Fans?

Five strong men posted at The Fishing Hole, including War Baby Tolkein aka Chino Guapo aka Rip Van Winkle, who was able to awake from his post Chimbote trip and join us. Great having you even though you didn’t technically meet the site age criteria.

Workout – Bunch of ladders (5, 10, 15, 20) with rocks including curls at bottom of deck and jump squats on level 4, curls at bottom with bear crawl up ramp and merkins on ramp, and lateral extensions with backward run/karoke up and down ramp with flutters at top.

Drop off rock before some mary on level 2, wall sits on level 3 and another ladder at top with incline and decline merkins. Down to fence around football field for leg lifts on the fence (forgot name already) before mosey back to launch site and finish with 30 seconds of pulsating squats

NM – The average age was over 50, which is exactly where we want to be, and we kept the mileage down to a little over 1 mile. Lots of core work and Chino Guapo called out backward burpees, which was a new one for me.

YHC was quite tired after big win for the Heels last night. My Duke friends could not muster the fortitude to come hear me trash them but Zion exit early was clearly a factor. I was not thinking clearly when I agreed to Q the morning after the game – it could have been real ugly if we had lost as I would have been a tad grouchy.

I think Zion’s move demonstrates what can happen when a young man is placed high on a pedestal with lots of attention (President Obama, Spike Lee, etc). I think he was pumped up sky high (watch crazy pre-game dunk) and my guess is he tried to make a spectacular move at the start to justify the hype. A man his size is not meant to make a move like that (regardless of whether or not the shoe was defective). Less attention on this young man might have led to a different outcome. Don’t know if fair, but it reminds me to always keep perspective and the remember the credo “I am third”.

Enjoy the small group a TFH and the low mileage with high heart rate.

Annoucements – Joe Davis Run coming up in two week and please pray for Red Rocks, who had a stroke.
