JW pays a visit to Dromedary

JW pays a visit to Dromedary

When all was said and done, 7 PAX ventured out to MRMS/MRHS for another weekly edition of Dromedary.  YHC pulled into the parking lot at 0520 to find it empty.  With still no PAX in sight at 5:24, began to wonder if I was going to be conducting a solo mission similar to the work Champagne put in a while back at The Brave.  However, much to my relief, Soft Pretzel arrived on the scene with 4-5 minutes to spare followed closely behind by Dasher.  By the time we launched at 0530, 5 PAX were in tow and we were soon to be joined by 2 more.

Started with a slow mosey through the massive parking lot out in Marvin with a quick circle back to launch point to collect Bananas as he pulled in right on time.  Now up to 6 PAX we headed up to the crest of the Marvin Ridge parking lot and down the other side to a corner that had a bit of light for the COP:

• SSH x 20 IC
• IW x 20 IC
• Low Slow Squat x 20 IC
• MC x 20 IC  (Pause as slow moving car slowly came over the top of the hill.  Driver parked and our FNG, Mop Top, jumped out of his car and joined us)
• Peter Parker x 20 IC

(Quick reminder from Bratwurst with the arrival of an FNG for the disclaimer.  Disclaimer given and then it was back to work)

Time for a little ladder work in the lower parking lot area:

• Rd 1 – Karaoke across the lot, 5 merkins, Karaoke back, 10 merkins, Karaoke across lot, 15 merkins, Karaoke back, 20 merkins
• Rd 2 – Lunge walk across, run back with 5/10/15/20 Sumo Jump Squats (really seemed to be a crowd favorite.  Quite a few complements by the time we were finishing up rounds of 15 & 20)
• Rd 3 – Run across and back each time w/ 5/10/15/20 LBCs

Head on up to the MRMS patio for a little circuit work:

• 20 Step-ups, 20 Dips, 20 Dolly
• People’s Chair x 90 sec w/ arms out front and air presses mixed in
• 20 Step-ups, 20 Dips, 20 Flutter
• PC x 75 sec w/ left foot up and then switch to right foot up
• 20 Step-ups, 20 Dips, 20 CDD
• PC x 60 sec

Circle up for 6 MOM:

• Dolly x 15 IC, hold’em for 10 count from Soft Pretzel
• Rosalita x 20 IC
• LBC x 25 IC
• Back Scratcher x 20 IC

Back to the wall for a quick round of BTW

Circle back up on patio for initial visit to Dromedary from the man, the myth, the legend, Jack Webb:

• 1 Merkin/4 Air Presses up to 10 Merkin/40 Air Presses

Jog back to launch point

2 minutes left

• Bear Crawl up the parking lot 20-30 yards, run it out to top of hill and back
• 10 Burpees

COT

NMM:

• Nice work by strong group.  Think we all decided the ladder with the sumo jump squats took us to a bad place.
• Strong effort by Dasher and Chanel on the ladder rounds as they both were out in front much of time.  And Soft Pretzel was never too far behind
• Kudos to our FNG, George H, for finding us this a.m  Apparently, a co-worker, Reddogs from F3Metro, had been EHing him for quite a while & George finally buckled when he found out we were now working out close to his home here in Marvin.  Keep coming back out as we would love to have you become a regular.
• As Bananas mentioned on the jog back to the launch point, JW never seems to disappoint.  1 merkin and 4 air presses seems pretty mild but by the time you get up to rounds 6/24, 7/28, and beyond, you really start to feel it in your shoulders.
• Shout out to Bratwurst for keeping an eye out for our FNG.  Bratwurst definitely embodies the “No Man Left Behind” concept.
