The shovel flag was firmly planted and 17 men did the right thing early on Saturday to get stronger. Flipper, who YHC had never met and who did not know that YHC was the Q, mentioned at the start that he came to the Rock to avoid RS Q at Day Zero – #Firewood. The Rock is a great AO and we covered over 3 miles without leaving the church grounds.
The Thang:
Jog around the parking lot with 5 burpees at each road bump (20 total).
COP – Warm up
Jog to rock pile, grab non-running rock, and mosey over to parking lot for some circuit work. Perform called exercise with rock, “gently” place rock on the ground, sprint to other end of lot and plank for the six. Hold six inches and then sprint back to rocks. 7 rounds
Mosey across parking lot for a little Mary (lots of heckling about Q form – more #firewood) – Rosalita and Dolly (pax already sensing where we are heading and try to divert the Q)
Mosey to base of North Face for Bermuda Triangle – perform 2 of called exercise at each station and increase by 2 each round. Run up North Face – burpees, run to corner – merkins, run down lot – jump squats, run to base of North Face – Rock Hoppers. PAX finished 3 or 4 rounds – brutal
COP for a little plank work, peter parker, and parker peter. Jog across parking lot and perform burpees at each bump until the six catches up. Jog down to baseball field for some more sprint work – karaoke and backwards runs
Up to pavilion for dips X15, decline merkins X15, dips X15, and incline merkins. People Chair until YHC calls for Jail Break back to starting point for a minute of planking before COT.
Naked Moleskin
A lot of firewood this morning between the “slant” that the Run Stopper workout would be harder thus The Rock was a better alternative (Russian Roulette – PAX didn’t know what was in the chamber for the Rock) and the constant chirping about YHC form. The PAX is lucky we had an FNG this am or we might still be running.
Welcome FNG Doug Van Dyke heretofor known as Macho Grande (from Stryker in “Airplane” as Doug works for Stryker).
Appreciate the invite from Hopper and Gummy to Q this am – always an honor and a privilege.
Annoucnements:
Mermaid coordinating food drive so check with site Q’s as to what they need. Jelly for the Rock (not to drink – don’t pay attention to TR).
