Flame On!

Flame On!

7 PAX met this AM at the Sun Valley Middle School for a complete sensory overload.

What had happened wuz:

Zip on Q

• Warmup at shovel flag – merkins, mountain climbers, SSH, IW, etc . . .
• Group Mosey to Elementary School playground across campus for circuit work
• 4 circuits – repeat until time is called
  • bench dips,
  • donkey kicks in the swing with mud hole
  • step ups on slippery table
  • attempts at pull ups
• Long Indian run back to practice football field

Horsehead on Q

• Pick up snow saucers and cones hidden in the ditchbank
• Pick up a rock from the nearby pile
• Hairburners across field with saucers while partner does rock exercise
  • Two 2-man teams go to short cone and U turn back
  • One 3-man team runs grinders to long cone – keeps distance the same as 2-man team
  • After two passes each, regroup and run suicides to short cone, long cone, and the tower (100yds away) as a recovery
  • Change exercise and repeat this hairburner circuit until we all were about to black out – I do not remember all of the exercises or how many passes we made
• Plank Circle with clock merkins around the clock
• Reverse direction and repeat
• Mosey to base of big hill beneath shovel flag and backwards bear crawl to flag
• 6MOM with some other exercises I can’t remember because I was about to pass out

Moleskin:

I arrived a bit early to scope out the field/hairburner situation and have a little two mile warmup run.  Zip accompanied me on a small part of the run in his Lexus for a warmup drive.

When I returned to the main lot, I was surprised to see Joker getting out of his electric car.  I think that he either ran over or found an old but highly potent tube of extra strength Ben Gay in the parking lot after which he proceeded to strip down completely naked and spread over his entire body.  Ben Gay, like hot sauce and wine in a box, apparently gets more potent with age.  The smell and eye burn was tremendous.  I immediately revised my workout to eliminate the chest to chest partner carries.  #youarewelcome.  Flame On!

PAX were working hard on the circuits, the runs, and the hairburner event.  The rock exercises between hairburner runs turned into a bit of a comedy as most returned from the saucer to see their partner sprawled out on the ground looking like roadkill.  The “recovery sprints” were fun too.  I smoked myself during the last set and don’t remember some of the rest.  Fortunately, Ben Gay is also a poor mans substitute for smelling salts.  Zip has continued threats to burn or destroy the saucers, but I have managed to sneak them back home for another day.

Missed Drop Thrill, Double E, and Hairband out there today.  Drop Thrill is running his first 10K today, Hairband is taking his Jersey spray tan to the beach, and Double E is sleeping in a cabin with 30 of his closest family members.

Possible July 4th convergence – details to come.
