For goodness snakes

For goodness snakes

4 PAX enjoyed a slow f(l)at prerun and a total of 8 PAX showed up to a workout that at the end was described as “not so hard but annoying.” I’ll wear that one proudly! Disclaimer given, with extra emphasis that I’m only suggesting that you do the stupid things I ask of you, a few sandbags that YHC requested PAX bring shouldered, and we’re off.

Warmup

What kind of resembled a pack of trotting camels, PAX tried to mosey with sandbags on their backs toward the practice field. A brief stop halfway for a circle up.

1. SSH x 20 IC
2. IW x 20 IC
3. Merkins x 15 IC
4. Mountain Climbers x 10 IC

The Thang

Continue to the field and take a few minutes to set the stage. 2, no wait, 3 tires brought out and lined up alternating with 4 sandbags along the endzone. 7 PAX lined up with these, while the final one lined up at the end. Thanks, Atlas, for jumping all over being the first runner. Commence beat down.

• PAX with sandbags bear crawl over the sandbag, dragging it with them
• PAX with tires flip them
• The final PAX, with no gear, runs to the other endzone, around the goalpost, then takes the first position and everyone rotates
• Continue until all the gear has made it to the other endzone

When reaching the other side, I need to make sure I can get some mileage in too. I did just agree to run Ragnar, so what better time to start training than now?

• Line up at the sideline of the goal line
• Run the width of the field to the other sideline
• Side shuffle about 5 paces toward the other goal line
• Back pedal the width of the field
• Shuffle another 5 paces
• Rinse and repeat until reaching the other goal line
• To make sure we’re not favoring one direction of shuffling, shuffle all the way back to the start

Conveniently, we’re back at where we left the gear! Take a 10 count but PAX still look like they’re not ready to jump back on the gear, so YHC graced them with 10 burpees OYO before repeating the beat down.

Had to cut the final snake run a little short to make sure we could clean up the tires and get the bags back to launch with time. Made it back with a few minutes to spare for mary.

Moleskine

There was some great mumble chatter out there today.

• When I called the group out for complaining but still doing the beatdown, something along the lines of “because the verbal abuse would be worse”
• Lots of chatter about how pretty AOC is
• I gotta admit I loved the groans when burpees were announced as a rest period
• My personal favorite I wrote in the intro, from Cobbler
• Discussion on how terrible life, and our shape, would be without F3… But nobody would mind that extra couple hours in the fart sack

Thanks everyone who made it out this morning, great work!
