New Company… Who Dis?

New Company… Who Dis?

***Ghostwritten for Alf as he is “too busy” to write backblasts.  Come on man, its not like you just entered the world of self employment… oh wait.***

As per usual, the 8 PAX who showed up in the darkish Waverly parking lot had no idea what was in store for them.  In truth, who was Qing was decided somewhere between 0528 and “lets mosey.”  Alf had the worst idea, so thats what we did.

The Thang:

Run towards and then past the parking garage, up past the office building and to the big roundabout.  10 Shoulder-Tap Merkins

Run back towards the townhouses but turn right up the hill to the apartments for 10 lunges each leg at the top of the hill

Run back down the hill and turn right towards the townhouse construction at the north end of the parking garage, run into the alley behind them and complete 10 double-merkin burpees

Run up the near stairs in the parking garage to the top for 10 dragon flags.  Run  across the top and down the far stairs and back to the roundabout

-Repeat until you puke… er… till 0612

Ye Olde Moleskinny:

YHC hates WAMRAP.  Its hard, it makes my arms hurt, and try as I might I CANNOT catch Alf.  Today was run heavy so co-short arm advantage beneficiary Turkey Leg stayed on the lead lap with the great short one himself. So, I got to chase two PAX of diminutive stature around the course.  TL sure got rid of his “rusty arms” from two weeks ago pretty quickly, must have been all that Rocky Mountain air.

Speaking of chasing Alf, I’m not entirely sure his “I made double merkin burpees to force full range of motion” logic applies.  Men with 12 inch arms shouldn’t be permitted to force those of us who are of average stature to endure good form… head bobs are exercises too dangit!

PopTart showed at WAMRAP again this week, if he keeps this up he may develop a reputation for posting with consistency… Darn strong performance today and we may have a ‘Rap regular on our hands.

EE and Horsehead may have had the most country sounding greeting in the gloom I’ve heard in some time.  Not exactly sure what they were talking about but I’m pretty sure it was in a foreign dialect.  Speaking of the equine headman, somebody needs to remind him that dayglo yellow is good for running, but at WAMRAP we get on the ground and so your shirt may get dirty…

Spare Parts continues to grind it out week in and week out.  While he may have been at the back early, by the end of the workout he and OT had pulled even with the main pack where they were 5 strong.  They also were doing MARY in a rough circle when the leaders plus my tired ass stumbled in at 06:15:30.  #overacheivers

Next week, rumor has it, Transporter will set his alarm and actually show up.  I’ll plan something exceptionally devious for him.

Announcements

-4/17 South Mountain CSAUP.  Somebody, ANYBODY, ppppuuuuuhlease go run the mountains with Midriff.  I’m almost tempted to skip Ville to Ville so he won’t do it alone, but then Hoover would eat me.

-5/1 WTF relay CSAUP down on the Carolina Thread Trail.  The Waxhaw guys have put together a good one here boys, go on down and spend a day running in the woods with some buddies and enjoying good food with your 2nd F.

-5/22 F3 Functional Strength Challenge:  Pick things up and put them down with Hightide and the other meatheads.  Great format for a quick test of how strong you aren’t.  Will probably result in a significant swelling in the number of MeatOlympSwollians… or not… its a pretty exclusive crowd.
