Busted Again

Busted Again

The preblast went out yesterday for the workout and to my surprise most everyone had read it.

For those that did not read it or pay attention the announcement was made again. 14 men were given their instructions and the gun went off signaling to go.

We ran down Ballantyne Commons Parkway to the Boyle Building deck.  It is .8 miles to the start of the deck.  Everything was done at your own pace which was meant to be a pace to challenge yourself.

Once at the deck you ran backwards up the incline stopping at the top of each deck to do five good form Haggis merkins.  Run the flat straight and repeat till you get to the top.  Once at the top and after performing your merkins you run to the opposite side stairs taking them to the bottom.  At the bottom you perform ten American Hammers.  Run to the Premiere Deck which is .2 miles away and repeat what was done at the Boyle Deck except this time do five hand release burpees.  This was to be done until 6:05 getting in as many laps as you can before returning back to the AO.

As fate would have it and we the luck of my Qs at the Brave we got kicked out of the deck.  Now I was not there for the conversation but evidentially the security guard was really concerned we may hurt ourselves.  Obviously he did not hear the disclaimer.

After we found Haggis we headed back early to the AO.  Once there we did some Mary, burpees and ran a little more dodging cars several times.

Moleskin: Too bad we got kicked out.  Last time was my fault for planning higher risk stuff.  This time we were safe and respectful.  The idea was to replicate some of the things they do at the Muthership by running backwards up the decks.  There is no replacement for the Dizzy.  I also wanted to mimic some of the mud run by going fast, stopping and then doing something fast again.

I think most everyone would have gotten three laps or more in.  Keeps this in mind because we will do this again.  We have a man among us that has the ear of the right people so hopefully we will get clearance soon.

Thanks to everyone for their donations to the Alexanders Youth Network Toy Drive.  These kids will really appreciate it.  If you have not donated then please bring a toy tomorrow to your favorite AO.

Announcements: Baxter Village race New Years Day at 10:00am.
