It’s complicated at Hydra

It’s complicated at Hydra

Well, it looked pretty good on the napkin…11 pax showed up to Olde Providence Elementary and it went something like this…

1 lap around track (bkickers, high Knees, Karaoke Left, karaoke Right)

Mosey to Circle up on Field behind school:

SSH x 30

Carolina Dry Dock x 15

IW x 20

Hillbilly x 20

Exercise is called Four Corners. This is where it got complicated for about 30 seconds. When it takes more than 30 seconds to explain the exercise you may have made it too complicated. Note to self.

Form teams in groups of 3. This way you can stay together. You will have to find your partner at the track or at the field. The school runner will always go to track. The track will go to field. The field will become school runner.

Partner 1) station 1 track – 4 corners – merkin variations, wide, regular, diamond, regular x 10

Keep going until school running partner finds you.

Partner 2)  station 2 field behind school – bear crawl long side, crab walk short sides

Keep going until track partner finds you.

Partner 3) run lap around OP, 5 burpees at 4 corners of school

School runner goes to track, track always goes to field, field always becomes school runner.

Moleskine:

Yep, when plotting the workout it seemed like I was getting a bit ambitious. I figured I would try it anyway. It did work out. There was a serving of pain in the gloom this morning. We offered up good shoulder, core, legs, lungs, back and arms. No muscles left behind program going here. From the sound of the chatter it proved to be a good time well spent. Pax got moneys worth. It was great to see 316 and Nuke back from their FNG posts last Thursday at Hydra. Welcome back gents. Strong output today.

Donkey Kong was his usual self, “sir, why don’t you call 100 burpees now” “sir, can we scale the olde Providence school building and do burpees on the roof for a while” Sir, I bet I can touch the top of the flag pole”. He did mention he will turn 29 in March so the man is closing in on his 30’s. Good stuff and always awesome having DOnkey Kong at Hydra. We started this site together May 2013. A whole lot of workouts later…

I think Chico or Flutie Flakes called out some Pilates business on the protractors. Hey boys, we do it all. WHen we start out with Hillbillies you just never know what will be next.

I did see some tired pax out on the field part of 4 corners. The bear crawls and the crab walks were fan favorites for sure.

Props to Lost Weekend for running in from Chadwycke.

Chico will be out next week in New Orleans. Seems Mardi Gras is a great time of year for an attorney convention. Also great carbo loading for Corporate Cup Run waiting upon your return.
