The Rock – Not for the faint of heart

The Rock – Not for the faint of heart

14 of south Charlottes finest refused the fartsack on a muggy Saturday morning and responded to the challenge posted by YHC on twitter yesterday afternoon.

Mall Cop planted the Shovel Flag at 6:59, and after the disclaimer (which some called professional), we were off.

THE NAKED MOLESKIN

While not everyone is doing the BRR (and for those that aren’t, they’re probably getting pretty annoyed with the heavy dose of running in workouts these days), YHC wanted to continue the prep for those that are with some running with boot camp exercises mixed in this morning.  Not sure how much ground we covered, but it was a lot.

As usual, the workout looked better on paper, as YHC was hurting towards the end of the starfish – it makes you realize how big the Calvary campus really is (I don’t think some of our “legs” were much shorter than those done at Fast Twitch on Tuesday – and THAT is a running workout).  The PAX should be proud of pushing through this one today!

Mall Cop tried a couple Q jacks, and his arm press suggestion during the people’s chair was actually a good one (though he opted out of round 2 – #dontsuggestitifyoucantdoit).  YHC did give him the call on the exercises during the Triple Nickel (an exercise with a nod to Mermaid), but when he called out jump squats and burpees, YHC quickly regretted that decision. #wontdothatagain. He’s a beast, that one.

Props to Bushwood and Hops – you guys were killing it this morning.  Stone Cold, way to push through on a bad leg/wheel, and Hopper, those huge strides will come in handy on the mountain roads in a few weeks.  Great to see some new faces out there this morning, and you all represented well.  Runstopper – I hope you just tweaked something and are back at it next week.

Hops, thanks for the strong take out.  As always, and honor to lead you guys.
