Smash & Gas

Smash & Gas

23 men decided to come to Death Valley this morning.  Many of those men were still in quite a bit of pain from the BRR.  Some of these men chose Death Valley as a recovery workout.  Yeah, that’s pretty much what they got.

The Thangalang:

Mosey down the dark, rocky, dirt, crackly path around the baseball field and onto the outfield for a little COP:

• SSH x 25
• Imperial Walkers x 20
• Mountain Climbers x 20
• Peter Parkers x 20
• Merkins x 15 IC
• Low Slow Squat x 15

Mosey back up to parking lot and partner up.  Partner 1 grabs a cinder block while Partner 2 does some plankorama.  Partner 1 carry cinder block to end of parking lot and back (approx. 200 total yards) while Partner 2 does called exercise. Flap Jack.

• Round 1: Burpees
• Round 2: Heels to Heaven
• Round 3: Merkins

Partner 1 does called exercise with block while Partner 2 runs around parking lot. Flap Jack after each round.

• Round 4: Overhead Press (Partner runs 1 recovery lap)
• Round 5: Curls (Partner runs 2 fast laps)
• Round 6: Partner 1 Lunge Walk to end of parking lot 2nd lamp post. Run to end and back. Partner 2 does LBCs. Flap Jack.

Partner 2 returns cinder blocks while Partner 1 does some Mary. (Gas Leak #1)

Mosey over to school wall and line up for people’s chair. (Gas Leak #2) Air Presses for a 50 down up count.

Mosey back to end of parking for some wind sprints x 3 rounds.

COT

That is all.

Moleskin:

Great group of guys out there this morning including FNG TELEMUNDO!!! (Dave S.).  Great work out there and come back any time you are in town.  You are welcome to kick start F3 Manhattan.  I’d love to visit!

Iron Horse stated right out of the gate that he chose to come to Death Valley over Anvil squarely because DV would be easier with YHC at the realm.  Fair Enough as I was definitely struggling from the BRR.  My brain was clearly struggling at times this morning, as well (Air Press counting, obviously making some things up as I went, checking the watch…checking the watch…checking the watch).  I do remember Gummy saying my air press count sounded like a dying fire alarm.

Lots of mummblechatter out there this morning.  Started with your site Q Semi-Gloss requesting merkins in the COP.  Continued with Spackler requesting burpees as the first partner exercise.  Radar must have still been angry from the BRR because he decided to smash his cinder block.  Good Hands had to pick up all the pieces as if he was Purple Haze.  Good Hands has a solid future ahead of him as Radar’s #2.

We also had a couple of gas leaks this morning.  The first came from Horsehead during some Mary.  It sounded like wet gas.  The second was coming from the school gas line.  Run Stopper quickly ran off to alert someone in the school.  The little guy in all black tights went running up to a school at 6am.  #Smart.  He said “it’s been reported”.  Pretty sure I saw blue lights coming towards the school on my way home.

Again, great group of guys this morning.  Thanks for letting me lead and hopefully we shook some of the achy-ness off from the weekend CSAUP.  Next week should be back to a normal heavy hitting Death Valley workout.

Until next time,
