Triple Nickle Beatdown

Triple Nickle Beatdown

9 joined us today for this weeks installment of Base Camp led by YHC a former Base Camp Site Q. After a through disclaimer that was highly enjoyed by most of the pax, with no FNGs present after a short run around the bus lot we began right by the Staff lot for a quick cop.

COP:
10 IW IC
10 LSS IC
10 Windmill

Following completion of the Windmills, instructions were made to run towards the intersection of Strawberry and Rosecliff. Upon reaching each speed bump(3 in total) pax were instructed to perform 5 jump squats. Leaders were also instructed to collect the six upon reaching Rosecliff. After a quick 10 count by Mr. Magoo instructions were given for the main event.

Triple Nickle:
Top of the Hill( Intersection of Strawberry and Rosecliff) 10 Merkins
Bottom of the Hill(first neighborhood intersection off of Rosecliff) 10 Diamond Merkins
Rinse and repeat 5 times for a total of 100 merkins

After a quick round of LBCs and a Thunder Road 10 count, off we went back to launch. Stoping at each speed bump for 5 monkey humpers, facing traffic after a fellow pax asked which direction they would be faced(you’re welcome). After stoping right before the entrance of SCMS, instructions were made to run back to Semi’s Office. Upon going over the mileage amount YHC had originally planed it was time to bring a good friend back to visit after picking up a lifting rock.

Jack Webb
1 slow merkin
4 air presses with lifting rock
We went up to 4 slow merkins and 16 air presses then worked our way back down

Following a Hoover 10 Count, we went over to Semi’s office and grabbed some wall for 2 rounds of 25 air presses on YHCs count.

Moleskinny:
-YHC realized on his drive home from Columbia yesterday that he was the QIC for Base Camp on Monday, Thunder Road remembers this beatdown from my December 2018 q at Base Camp only it was about 30 degrees colder outside
-The plan was for around 2.5 miles today, YHC underestimated that the Triple Nickle was probably closer to a half a mile each way than the 0.4 miles each way YHC had measured. YHC had us clocked at 3.24 miles, miles varied from 3.08-3.24+. A bit higher than what Base Camp traditionally is however, everyone crushed it out there today
– Air Wolf was out in front most of the workout followed closely by Way, no surprise there as Air Wolf has gotten faster since posting at Fast Twitch
-With this being Makeshift 10k/Half Marathon/Marathon Taper week YHC broke his usual limited Merkin usage to be taper friendly(you can still get upper body in while running in workouts)
-Its been quite awhile since YHC had visited Base Camp, probably close to a year. Thank you for Thunder Road and Mr. Magoo for brining me out of Base Camp retirement

Announcements:
-Makeshift Marathon Saturday 11/14 7 AM, preblast here
-Saturday November 21st Orange Whip be holding an A51 Q school at the Panera in the Arboretum at 0700. 45 minute workout followed by instruction from some veterans(30-45 minutes). If you haven’t q’d in awhile and are looking to step up and lead a workout this is a great place to learn the basics in leading a workout and F3 Site
-Thunder Road with the strong takeout
