I decided to stray away from the traditional bootcamp style workout and run a bit. I also wanted to make sure that the 6 would not be left behind.
I rolled in around 5:27 and was greeted with, “Jingles beat you here”! Awesome, Jingles may have fartsacked if he knew what was coming?
DiCCs given, lets mosey!
Warmup:
Quick mosey to the bus lot, Circle up!
Forgot the exact order:
6 Merkins – Slow Cadence
6 Imperial Walkers – IC
6 Low Slow Squat – IC
6- 6″ Plank Jacks – IC
6 Wide Merkins – IC
The Thang:
Mosey to the neighborhood beside the school.
1st Triple Nickel
5 Merkins @ bottom
10 Squats at the top – stop at the top after the 5th round
1st Suicide – To road intersection and back – 5 burpees to the end and back 5 burpees. .90 miles
2nd Triple Nickel
10 Speed Skaters @ Bottom
10 Speed Skaters @ bottom
2nd Suicide – It was long!!!
Same concept. Run to the middle road and back, then back to the stop sign.
20 Monkey Humpers each stop.
Mosey back for COT.
The Skin:
When I told Bread Bowl we were about to run 5 miles I got a 1000 yard stare from the young 2.0. Each time we crossed paths in the gloom his only words were Deadwood I hate you! Nice work Breadbowl, you kept moving the whole time, I didn’t see any walking from you at all. Keep coming and you will get faster.
The usual speeders were upfront, Geber, Dasher, Hollywood, Easy Button and then Hollywood disappeared for a couple of minutes. Not sure if he wanted to extend the suicide length, was looking for the 6, or pulled a Rudy in a front yard??
In all of my 48 Q’s I have yet pulled a Hooch and arrived at COT late, why would the pax think that would start today!
A crowd of pax arrived at the last suicide point as I was circling back for the 6 and they proceded to head back to COT! My mind had so many questions! Was my watch not work? Could the not make it 1/4 mile in 5 minutes? Was this Bread Bowls dirty work? I have a few guesses but no proof! We rolled back into COT with 1 min to go, no problem. Trust your Q with the time until the Q gives you a reason not to. I don’t need reminders, alarms or Q jacking…I have all kinds of Audibles for that!!! Haha
The typical “everyone worked hard” is an understatement. There were guys that posted today that have never hit 3 miles during a run much less 4+, WELL DONE…and you’re still alive. I am a firm believer that pax need to get out of their comfort zone and today was the day. Running is boring, but it works. Well done!
