Diesel

4 Pax posted for what proved to be a smelly endeavor this AM at the Overdrive.

THE THANG:

    Part I made up in the truck just before we started:

Long mosey around the campus to the Sun Valley Elementary School parking lot for a warmup, including:

– SSH
– IW
– Merkins
– Squats
– Windmills

Line up for Suicides, using the trees as markers. 150yd long lot with 6 trees.

Round 1: 5 merkins at each tree
Round 2: 5 jump squats at each tree

    Part I made up while we were doing the suicides:

Partner up and run loop around the lot as a loop – approx 400m track
P1 runs CCW, P2 runs CW – When you meet your partner each time do the following:

– 20 partner hand slap merkins
– 15 partner hand slap merkins
– 10 partner hand slap merkins
– 5 partner hand slap merkins

    Part I made up to get away from the diesel fumes from the buses:

Regroup and long mosey over to the shovel flag hill on the middle school campus

Triple Nickle (Nickle) on the hill – 5 burpees at the top and 5 jump squats at the bottom X 3

– Bear Crawl to where the Flag is supposed to be
– Bear Crawl back
– Bear Crawl back again
– Crab Walk back

6MOM:

– LBC
– Crunchy Frog until the noises were to comical to continue
– Flutter
– Dolly

MOLESKINE:

Nice weather for a workout this morning. The temperatures were pleasant, which made the wind tolerable. I have only been to Overdrive once, during the launch, so I suppose I never made the mental connection that the 9 thousand school buses out there actually ran on the weekdays, coating the campus in a fog of smelly diesel fumes. Pretty nasty stuff, so we moved on over to the disc golf course when the buses started churning. The guys told me, however, that they usually don’t stray far from the elementary school lot so I maybe they are used to it?

Small group – nowhere to hide. We kept moving pretty well throughout the workout, which I’m sure Glass Joe appreciated with his busted ankle and Hairband with his whatever garbage he had for three weeks. #modifyasneeded

Some early talk of lost wedding rings, Qualo, and Safe Ringz. Apparently they make silicon wedding bands for sports and job that prohibit conductive items, like electrical work. Never heard of it – pretty interesting. I remember watching my dad drop a large crescent wrench across some car battery terminals and it arc welded his 14K gold band to his ring finger. Nasty stuff.

Announcements:

– New Q Schedule for Outland on the Google Drive for regulars
– BRR Teams forming
– Mud Run Teams forming

Always an honor to lead

Good job this morning Horse. I was pleased with the proper amount of running this morning. The ankle didn’t like left turns at first but it got over itself. Props to Hairband for continuing to show up even though he is in recovery mode from the flu. Stronger and faster than the week before brother.

Then entire reason I got out there as opposed to the M. wanting me to run by myself so I can recover and let my shoulder heal… Always pushed always pushing. I would have quit 10 minutes in if I tried to do any of that by myself.
