We were just a little late getting back…

8 brave men headed out into the ugly morning weather to get in some miles and exercises. Actually, the rain held off and there was a nice breeze so I thought the weather was pretty good for a workout.

The Thang……
This was a veteran crew so a short form of the disclaimer was given and we were off. We headed to the parking lot by the hotel for a quick warm-up.

All in cadence:
20 – SSH
20 – IW
15 – Merkins
We then moseyed over to Loch Ness for a little bit of fun.

Start at the first building with:
5 – Burpees
10 – Merkins
15 – Jump-ups
Repeat at the next building
Then a 50 yard Bear Crawl by the picnic tables.
Repeato for 3 total laps.
Do a little flutter then off again.

We headed over to the Lance building parking lot for the start of our Tripple Nickle (ala Mermaid) up the hill to the bridge do 5 Burpees. Then back down for 5 Squats. Repeato 5 times. (get it? there are three 5’s, a Triple Nickels. Mermaid hit gold when he invented this one).

Then we do some LBC’s and Heels to the Heavens. YHC asked for the one 10 count for the entire workout (which Bean did in about 2 seconds). Then I was chastised “there are no 10 counts at the Brave”.

Sooooooo, off we go. We headed up to the Premier Parking Garage. I tried to do the slalom but the ground was way too wet.

At the parking deck we did 10 Merkins at one end and 10 flutters for each leg at the other end. Once we all reached the top we headed to the stairs and high tailed it to the launch site.

YHC had not been very good at managing the time and we had about 5 minutes to do an 8 minute run. We got back did a quick circle and YHC took us out.

There was a great group of guys today that pushed hard. Everyone seemed to excel at different times. Wild Turkey was out in front for most of the Loch Ness route and Bean was flying on the Triple Nickel. Cable Guy, Tuck and Champagne were pushing the pace on the parking deck and Gumbo pushed hard all the way through.

There was quite a bit of mumble chatter – “Bean’s only doing half the Merkins…” “Fire Hazard, you call that a Squat????”… Fun was had by all and YHC was proud to lead such a great group of men.
