Day Zero Back Scratch…I mean blast

Day Zero Back Scratch…I mean blast

5 men posted at the High Intensity Day Zero workout ready to go with smoke boots laced up.  The official DZ shovel flag found its way out of the dark, spider-filled corner of Hairball’s garage to make an appearance.  We ran around the school out to the front driveway for a brief warmup:

• SSH x 20 IC
• LSS x 20 IC
• IW x 15 IC

From there we headed down 51 towards Calvary.  I promised everyone we’d do some running and it wouldn’t be the CCHS parking deck.  Pass the 1st couple entrances at Calvary (No Rock Pax to be seen…) and cross the street into some new territory for Day Zero: The Whitegate neighborhood.  Home of a very nasty steep hill on Five Knolls Dr. for some 7’s.

• Jump Squats at the top
• Burpees at the bottom

From there, back out of the neighborhood and across 51 to head into Calvary’s hotbox with the warm smells of Chic-Fil-A biscuits and Gospel music blaring.

• 20 Dips
• 20 Derkins
• 20 Little Haze’s (one legged step down)
• LBC’s x 20 IC
• Repeato

Head out of the hotbox towards Rea Rd.  Finally we spot the FIA pax at The Rock.  No site q’s anywhere in site.

Run down Rea, right on Bevington and stop at the wall behind CVS

• People’s Chair w/ Air Presses x 75 IC
• Balls 2 the wall

Run back to Day Zero AO going a couple minutes over.  We covered over 5 miles.

Moleskin:

Small, but strong group this morning.  Strawberry was a little concerned about the running, and I’m not sure Swede even knew we were running today, but they did fantastic.  I was “leading from the back” several times today.  The 7’s destroyed me right out of the gate.  That hill was worse than I thought it was going to be and it just drained the life out of me.  As usual, Hairball and Buttermaker were way out front just killing that hill.

Things got a little weird towards the end when we got to CVS.  Buttermaker asked me to scratch his back in a spot he couldn’t reach.  I was so delirious and O2 deprived that I actually did it.  I don’t know what is wrong with us.  Why did he ask me to do that?  Why did I actually do that?  #gross

Great stuff today fellas.  Excellent 2nd F along with some nasty 1st F. #HighIntensity
