Mud Run Time!

Mud Run Time!

9 men launched at 0515 from the Vine Restaurant at the Ballantyne AO to fine tune for next week’s Mud Run in Columbia, SC.

Here’s what we did:

The Thang:

The PAX launched at 0515 from the Vine Restaurant at the Ballantyne AO and headed down Ballantyne commons parkway, took a left onto Ballantyne Corporate Pl. Pain stations along the way included lunge walks and a snake hill run. Once all SOBs completed the hill, it was a mad dash down Ballantyne Corporate Pl until you reached other end of the bridge crossing Johnston road (at your own pace), then everyone turn around ran to the six and met in front of the BofA building.

We turned off Ballantyne Corporate Pl and followed the sidewalk towards the Kid’s Pond. Once we reached the back of the lot, we lined up and slalomed around small trees for a little agility work and gathered beside the Kid’s Pond.

We partnered up (size important) partner fireman’s carry 50 yards, then flapjack. Keep your partners for bear crawls 3 trees, partner 1 does 10 over unders, bear crawl three trees and partner 2 does over unders. Then alternate crabwalks and bear crawls to the end of the field.

Run to the front of the BofA building for long distance Hill work – 10 Burpees, run to the stop sign infront of the bull ring, 10 burpees, and run back infront of the BofA building, 10 Burpees.

Mosey over to the fitness trail. Merkins IC X 20. Split into 4 separate groups to rotate through 5 different pain stations. 1 – Dips X 20, 2 – Burpees X 10, 3 – Pullups X 10, 4 – Rope Climb X 1, 5 – 1 Lap Around Lockness. – X 3

COT.

Moleskin:

It was a great morning for a little mud run fine-tuning. It was good to practice our technique for fireman’s carry. The Marines at the mud run can be very picky about having to carry your teammates like that.

All men are ready for the race. The amazing thing is, we no longer have a six at The Brave. Chippy and Frehley’s are beasts.

It was an honor leading the SOBs in The Gloom.
