Curd Squeak

Curd Squeak

Lorax is DR at the beach. Again. Nobody was signed up to Q, so YHC filled the spot. Not much planned so asked for some suggestions prior to launch. Burpees and grass came in as the winners. Cheese Curd asked for the grass. He also pre-ran 3 miles. Disclaimer given.

We rolled out of the launch lot over to the semi-circle and did some COP. SSH, Merkin, MC, Squats, Burpees x 5 OYO, Flutter. Next we ran over to the Hot Box. Each pax was tasked with 100 Step Up/100 Dip/100 Derkin, however each saw fit to complete. Plank upon completion.

Run over to a parking lot, partner up. We did 3 rounds of partner stacks. P1 runs to end of parking lot and does 1 burpee. P2 does called exercise. Swap to called number. 150 Squats/150 Dry Docks/100 Heels to Heaven. Mary to finish it off and regroup.

After this we stopped in a nice patch of wet grass. 10 Burpees OYO.

Stop at the Avenue of Trees. 5 Werkins at each tree.

We then ran to another parking lot and lined up. AYG sprints to light post and back. 1. 5 Burpees at the end. 2. 30 LBCs in the middle. 3. Forgot.

Back to launch. COT

Gold star of the day and backblast name attributable to Cheese Curd. As YHC mentioned above, he ran 3 miles in. Well done. During the workout, he blasted some Curd Squeaks. Said he worked them up during the pre-run. BTW, he made sure to run past the pax on the way in to “round it off” (make us feel bad). Anyways, the squeaks were more like Harley exhaust bursts. Puddin actually checked to make sure he was OK. His comment was something to the effect of “those sound a little dangerous.” He is an amateur flatulist, or fartist, or something like that, so you know it was a legit question and deeply caring inquiry. Curd was just fine as he continued to power through the workout. All pax seemed to work hard. Horsehead was asking certain questions that completely stymied YHC. No idea what he was talking about. No, never watched that show or whatever it was you were talking about. Good on you for bringing Boondocks out. Kid gets after it and has impeccable merkin form. Never hear a complaint out of him either. Take note, gents. Back to Curd. After the workout he walked over to the Meatheads and then wandered back, wearing a big old weight vest. YHC offered him a ride home and he declined. Said that 40 pounds was no big deal for him and he preferred to run/walk home. Dude is tough. He also sent me a Slack DM to let me know the workout was pretty good and that he did that 1.5 mile post-work with a 40-lb weight vest. Noted, credit given. Well done, Curd. Gold star for you man. Seriously, that is a solid morning’s effort. We got another 2.8 during the workout with a bunch of exercise reps.

For those interested in the backblast title, I found the following on Wikipedia:

That mesh is held together with calcium, which makes it tough. When you bite into a cheese curd, the tough mesh resists you biting through it. That resistance causes the curd to squeak because it’s rubbing across your teeth. … That protein starts to break apart because of an enzyme used in cheese making.

Now you know.

Well done, men. Glad to workout with you guys this morning. Have a great day. T-claps to Ductwork for a strong takeout prayer.
