6 strong braved this run-off election day, daring to keep mileage low and ire up.
The Thang:
Partner up – size, speed, myers-briggs rating … all vital to success.
Kirk/Early Bird, Iron Mike/Bel Aire, Talkbox/Sundancer
Run the Brushback Trail* (left on Rea, left on Windyrush, down to Foxworth, left to the spooky trail to O.P.E., run to the Buddy Bench Playground)
*disclaimer
Partner A runs to the Buddy Bench Speedway.
Sprint the straight-aways, burpee-broadjump the corners.
Complete one lap and then relieve your buddy. Hurry up.
Partner 1 runs to the Buddy Bench Playground.
5 burpee-pullups. 15 squats. 30 flutters. Repeat until Partner A shows up. 10 dumbocrats each
Partner 1 runs to the speedway, Partner A stays at the playground.
Continue until 6:06, and then run like idiots on the Brushback Trail.

A “Blue Falcon” is a military term for a “buddy f%^ker.” So if your partner was taking their sweet time sucking wind around the speedway, you’re stuck doing more burpees. Accountability is one of those things you notice most when its not there. Don’t be a Blue Falcon.
2.3 miles per my power ranger watch. The Brushback mile comes in at 0.8 miles either way you run it, weird. I could tell some folks felt cheated out of their mileage.
And here’s the thing, burpees are broccoli so shut up and eat. You can spend 45 minutes chasing people around parking decks backwards, wave your arms around a few times, and call it a varsity workout, or you can choose to get stronger.
Burpee-broadjumps are terrible and I’m glad we did it.
Burpee-pullups suck and I can’t wait to do them again.
Dumbrcrats are just the worst and thanks to IronMike’s sea-level center of gravity, Bel Aire’s kidney’s can now deflect bullets.
Thank you to Talkbox who still partnered with me even after sending a profanity-laden IM to me after reading the preblast.
And a special welcome to Early Bird, who was volunteered to partner with Kirk and executed the workout flawlessly. Strong work, brother.
