26 men showed up in the thick, thick air that was the gloom this am to take on the beast known as the Hydra Starfish
The Thang:
- Run 1 lap
- 10 burpees oyo
- Run 1
- 10 burpees oyo
- Run 1
- 15 merkins oyo
That’s enough warm up.
No COP – Ain’t nobody got time for that – we got things to do.
Mosey to the fields and number off 1- 4 to start at one of the 4 pain stations for the Hydra Starfish
Station 1 – Jump Squats (20X)
Station 2 – Pull ups (20X)
Station 3 – Jump Lunges (20X)
Station 4 – Wide Arm Merkins (20X)
Center Station – Burpees (10X)
Go from station to center then to the next station (in numerical order – more in the moleskin)
Rinse and repeat and repeat and repeat – until no more time or completely smoked – which ever comes first
But wait, left a few minutes so on to Mary:
Dolly – (20X) in cadence – Hold it, wide, together, wide, together recover.
Hand Mary Q over to Bugeater to finish – #Mistake
Prairy Fire Mary – (10X) in each direction oho
Heels to Heaven – (15X) in cadence
Russian Twists – (15X) in cadence
COT
Moleskin:
- YHC isn’t running BRR but is running the upcoming MudRun so wanted a workout that kept us moving the entire time to push the limits for maximum smokage. YHC thinks that may have been achieved since it was completely quiet after about 5 minutes into the Starfish.
- The only mumblechatter was in the beginning, when the PAX asked which direction to go, but YHC thought it was evident since the stations were numbers 1 – 4. Granted YHC doesn’t know clockwise to counter clockwise. #MoreDirectionsNextTime
- The only other comments from the PAX was “how many time around”, to which YHC respond, as long as there is time. AYE constant motion = pain
- Finally a learning opportunity for YHC – Don’t ask for help during Mary from Bugeater – that equals squeezing 4 rounds of pain in a space for one.
- Awesome job by all the PAX today – everyone was bringing it and pushing it to the limit. Thank you men for allowing YHC the opportunity to lead such a great group of Area51 warriors, It was both humbling and an honor. Thank you.
- Also, want to call out Fletch who was still killing it 35 minutes into the Starfish, as if he had just start – Strong work Brother.
