Lockness Loops part – heck I don’t know – I’ve reused this too many times

16 guys not afraid of a little hard work showed up for The Brave this am to embrace the gloom and suck.

Complete lack of creativity coupled with YHC needed a workout to push the work capacity and test how long you can sustain a high level of output resulted in YHC just pulling an old workout off the shelf and reusing it. In other words, YHC was lazy and needed a workout that would keep him moving an kick his ass over 60 minutes.

No new guys so quick moving disclaimer as those coming in hot were getting out of their cars and catching up.

The Thang:
Quick mosey to Loch Ness

Explanation given of the work to be done:

Run 1 lap – then 1 exercise lap – at first patio 10 decline diamonds (this slowly moved to more of a close grip decline merkins instead of diamond over the course of the workout) #modifying. Second patio – 10 jump ups, picnic tables – 10 dips then back to the start.

Run 2 laps, then exercise lap – same as before but 20 reps and back to start

Run 3 laps then exercise lap – same as above but 30 reps

Run 4 laps then exercise lap – same as above but 40 reps – this one hurt.

Once at this point, start back down and keep moving until out of time.

One added wrinkle – on the exercise laps, if you were on the bricks of the patios you were bearcrawling #crowdpleaser #smokedQ

Simple workout but simple does not mean easy.

Mosey back to launch – 1 minute over.

Done

NMM:

There was a lot of attempts to poke the bear last night by some who will not be named #asianhobbit, but YHC wasn’t having any of it. Figured silence was the best response – keep everyone guessing and wondering if Angry Q would show up in the gloom.

Anyway – YHC definitely wasn’t creative this morning but when something works, why change it. This one is brutal – always in motion and for different lengths of running and exercises which keeps it changing. As stated earlier, YHC needed to work on endurance and work capacity and love these grinder kinds of workouts. And everyone crushed it.

Pebbles and JRR came the closest anyone has to completing it and that is with the bear-crawls thrown in to slow people down. Guess YHC will have to come up with some new wrinkles to make it more difficult next time.

Solid effort by all Pax today and it was nice to have some newer faces out to The Brave Jean Claude – keep on coming out.

YHC is still smoked from this one so not much creativity in writing the BB.

Lots of work done today. 100+ diamond derkins , 100+ jump ups, 100+ dips, 250+ yards of bear-crawls and 4.8+ miles.

Thanks for the chance to lead this great group. This AO is always fun and there is always a great group of pax – makes the workouts much better to suffer together.

That’s all YHC has – shout out below for anything missed.

Announcements:

Still time to sign up for mudrun – very few teams signed up so far. If interested, talk to Fire Hazard.

Champagne Out.

Haha! Nicely done Champagne. Definitely a workout made for someone running their mouth (whoever that was) to have to put up or shutup for. Definitely planning on bringing the AMRAP back to SOBland soon!
