The nightmare on Hemingford Street

The nightmare on Hemingford Street

There was a slight chill in the air upon arriving at Mcalpine elementary this morning although it was expected to warm up during the course of the weekend. We would all experience a warming trend for the next hour. With the veteran pax assembled and disclaimed, away we went.
Quick warm up lap around the perimeter of the AO, with a stop at the retaining wall to regroup and knock out 25 decline merkins oyo. Continue to bball court for cop.

Run to pull-up station and plank in line. Each pax does 10 pull ups and goes to plank in back of line. Alternate elbow plank and regular until everyone completed their pull ups.
Tempo run to Hemingford for what was to be a bit of a massacre of sorts (at least for yhc).
7’s on Hemingford with Jumpmsquats on bottom and Hand release merkins on top.
**due to high intensity tag that has been applied to Day Zero – upsize the 7’s with 5 hand release burpees at both intersections on the way up and down**
Early finishers are rewarded with an extra pass up and down Hemingford…your welcome.
Run bevington toward AO, stop at carswell for (yes haze, I think you know what’s next) -All You Got left to the parking lot of the school.
Keep running to benches in front of school for circuit (plankarama)
20 jump ups
20 dips
20 incline merkins
Run the parking lot

In full disclosure I do not like burpees, I mean really really dislike them and rarely offer them to the pax when q’ing. Honestly didn’t expect the 7’s to be that bad when I was putting together the plan, but around the halfway point I was regretting the hand release burpee add on. actually had some rock work and more pull-ups planned, but the Hemingford hill was a real monster and took much longer than expected. the pax of day zero comes to work and every man out there was putting in quality suffering and getting stronger. McGee, Frazier and Turkey leg set the pace on the hill with hops and the rest of the pax churning and burning on their heels. Yhc led from the middle today, hand release burpees sucked the life out of me, but I had a great view of some incredible efforts. Frazier got stronger as we racked up the miles and McGee and turkey leg were gliding up and down the hill. Hops and haze were machines out there knocking it out with great form and determination #freerange. Voodoo, dear abbey and red rocks formed a formidable group pushing each other through a real grinder this morning- very strong work men. Not much of a chance to catch your breath this morning, aside from at coffeeteria. 4.5 miles with 120 hand release burpees and assorted exercises is a great way to start the weekend. Enjoyed it fellas.
Hops- thank you for taking us out this morning.
Announcements- congrats to prohibition on the birth of a new baby.
Thankful for the opportunity to lead at Day Zero-
