Dromedary – Frozen Tundra Edition

Dromedary – Frozen Tundra Edition

8 men got out of their cars at exactly 5:29 to cover as much of the frozen ground at MRHS as we could.  Here is how it went.

The Thang: Run to the building.  (Note the substitution of the word “run” for the word “mosey.”  That is intentional)  Peoples’ Chair, 25 SSH IC, Peoples’ Chair, 10 burpees IC, Peoples Chair again, 20 mountain climbers IC.

Run around the building with stops for: 10 merkins, 25 flutters, 10 diamond merkins, 25 LBCs, 10 wide arm merkins.  Each stop done together IC (wait for the six each time in plank position).

At the bottom of the hill at the back of the building (we need to name it BTW), partner up for two rounds.  P1 run backwards up the hill and back.  P2 does called exercise.  Round 1 = 75 total CDDs.  Round 2 = 75 combined heels to heaven.

Run to picnic benches for two circuits at 3 min a piece.  #1 = 10 derkins + 20 Squats.  #2 = 20 dips + 10 split squats.  Goal is to repeat at a steady pace for the 3 min.

Run to the rock pile and partner up again.  Round 1 = clean and press with the rock while partner runs ~50 yrds.  Round 2 = curls with rock while partner bear crawls ~20 yds. Round 3 = flutter press with the rock while partner runs ~50 yds.  Return the rocks.  10 burpees together IC.  Then, 15 russian twists and 20 bycilcles IC.  Done.

Moleskine: My assumption at the outset is that men who post in 25 degree weather don’t do so to have fun in the conventional definition of “fun”.  They post bc they want to be pushed and get in a monster workout that day.  So YHC made a few conscientious attempts to try and make that happen:

1. Run rather than mosey.  This occasionally put some distance between the front of the pack and the 6, but as long as you don’t go too far each stint and plank or do a called exercise to wait, everybody stays together.
2. Do strength exercises timed rather than to a count.  A couple PAX (Bananas, Grease Monkey) can put up some numbers in a hurry when it comes to dips, derkins, etc.  So rather than have us all do the same number, use a watch and let the more advanced… advance.  Thanks Brat for keeping time as YHC could not find his watch this morning.
3. Rocks.  Enough said.

Announcements: Teams forming for the Spartan Sprint in April.  Talk to Doc McStuffins or Turtle.  New workout DaVinci is Saturdays at 7 in Blakeney shopping center.
