Burpee and Parking Deck warmups

9 men decided to start their weekend off right with a proper SOB downpainment in the Gloom of Ballantyne.

The VSH was planted as MT was DR and had the real one. All veteran crew so no disclaimer given and off we went.

The Thang:

Run down Ballantyne Commons pkw to the Premier parking decks. (the night before, Mermaid asked if we would be running the parking decks, said he needed some parking deck work – ask and you shall receive. Not to mention YHC need to work off the Bad Daddy’s dinner from the previous night also)

Started at base of the stairs of the first parking deck – 10 burpees oyo – run to top of stairs.

Believe that Haggis was the only one to complete the full cycle and he crushed it – dude is a beast. Brushback and Soft Pretzel were a close second, only missing the full cycle by the round of 10s. YHC and Mermaid (thanks for keeping YHC company) made it all the way back down thru the round of 20 before the time was called. Everyone was close behind and pushing it and going the entire 60 minutes. Awesome job guys.

Great to see new faces visiting The Brave – welcome Hannibal and Voodoo – hope you guys come back.
Parking decks with burpees is a great way to warm up with the temps are cold outside.

Wasn’t much mumble chatter once the burpees started and on the pyramid, the pax were spread out so may have missed some – shout out below if anything interesting or noteworthy happened.

It is always an honor to lead these workouts and this great group of men around the great AO.
