Safety Net

Probably the warmest morning so far this year greeted the 8 Pax that rose to the occasion and posted at Joust today. YHC had planned to keep the Pax in perpetual motion to keep that heart rate elevated for the entire 45 minutes this morning. Made a few adjustments along the way, but I think everyone got their money’s worth. For those that slept in and missed out on a great morning to sweat, here’s what you missed.

Moleskin:
The parking lot was relatively empty when I rolled in with 2 minutes till launch, and it would remain that way until go time. It was a strong group this morning with everyone pushing themselves along with plenty of encouragement. During the Partner Rounds, the young guns Yeti/Dollywood were pushing the pace with Ductwork/Cowgirl getting after it as well. As usual, Puddin Pop was working up a sweat and working hard as were Bounce and my partner SemiGloss. The partner merkins were a crowd pleaser which would only foreshadow the pain to come. Being that there was a 40 ft net blocking Grandmother mountain which was to be the tip of iceburg during the Suicide, YHC decided we needed some stair work in place of the hill. The Pax stayed together during the stadium circuit with Dollywood leading the group. With about 20 minutes left we lined up on the 10 yard line where YHC laid out the plan for the remainder of the workout. The Merkin round was a true grinder with muscle failure beginning at around the 40 Yardline. Several of the pax acknowledged that their merkin form was deteriorating at a rapid pace as the reps mounted. You should all be walking around a little bit swole today. That’s what a total of 370 merkins will do for you (60 in COP, 60 Handslaps, 250 during the suicide).
We ran out of time during the squat round with most folks getting to the 40-50 yard line. All in we covered 2.5 Miles.
Thank you header for the opportunity to lead.
