HairDonkeyRunners

Lame title because I’m not feeling too creative right now. But, I’ve still got EEs hairburner plates so why not use them at Thrive for the first time.

Mosey to the side road beside the parking lot.

SSH IC x50
IW IC x10

I walk to the side of the road and pull out the quasi-hidden plate. Instant groans.

Hairburners down the side road and then do the back road behind the soccer field until the stop sign. Merkins x10 for those not pushing the plates.

Once at the stop sign, we did light pole suicide runs. There were 6 light poles that took us all the way from the park to Hwy 74. This sucked on legs that just got done with hairburners. Pick up the 6 or Plank till everyone is done. Roughly 1.5 miles ran in this part in all.

And of course, we’ve got to get the plate back to the parking lot. Thus hairburners with 5 good form merkins by the ones not pushing. When we get near the parking lot, we grab the other plate and we’ve got 5 guys pushing two plates back to my truck.

Mosey to the backside of the building with the bathrooms.

TPC w/ air presses and Donkey Kick rotations. Here’s the reps we did: 25 aps/15 dks, 50/20, 75/25, 100/30, 125/35, 150/40. The crowd is absolutely smoked at this point. There was no rest, no recovery, just pushing through them.

Mosey back to parking lot for 4 MOM:
Dolly IC x50
Rosalita IC En Espanol IC x10 (You guys suck at Spanish so I had to end it early)
Extended round of Protractor with a lot of 6 inch high leg holds.

DONE!

Thanks to Short Circuit for taking us out.
Remember Happy’s family and Glass Joe’s family in your prayers. Just pray, God knows the why.

– This sucked. It was brutal combos with each other that just absolutely smoked the crowd. The run following the hairburners was just difficult. Legs felt extremely heavy. The end with TPC w/ aps and Donkey Kicks was tough on legs that were absolutely tired already.
– Multiple reports of guys feeling nauseous/lightheaded/seeing white spots. #accomplishment
– On the run, I ran back to pick up Hoodie who told me that he thought about staying straight onto Highway 74 to end it all early. Would have been easier. That might be true but it would have been bloodier so thanks for not doing that. Not to mention we’d have sent Horsehead to notify your M and he isn’t known for sympathy.
– Nice work by all the guys though. I was encouraging most of you to try to push a 2nd time on the plate when it locks down on you the first time. There is a certain strength gained when the plate says no, your body says no and yet you force a yes. It’s a strengthening of the will IMO.
– Not sure where some fartsackers were at. Maybe afraid of the rain but then, it stopped raining right before we started. Maybe afraid of some running but then, we all need to run. #repent
– Happy told me before we started that burpees were tough on him. No worries brother, this was a burpee free Q. Looking out for you. Great job pushing through the pain out there. So encouraging to see you hitting that last light pole.
– Short Circuit and I both mentioned the respect we have for Lamont and that we hope that’s us at 55. Truly great effort out there Lamont. You are inspiring us even if we don’t say it.
– Hoodie wasn’t a LIFO but he was a FO of course. Always great to have you brother! Way to push through on that run and glad I didn’t have to fill out suicide papers.
– Thanks to Short Circuit for the running partner on that run. A #HIM I wouldn’t have met without F3.

Thanks for letting me lead.
