Heracles places the Hydra head under a paver

Heracles places the Hydra head under a paver

Ten strong men resisted any temptation to fartsack and gathered at Old Providence MS for another battle with Hydra.   YHC’s knowledge of mythology (gained via google) led me to bring some pavers under which to place the severed Hydra heads on the sacred road between Lerna and Elaius (also known as Windyrush and Foxworth).

The Thang:

Warmup – Squats X10, Merkins X10, Diamonds X10, Mtn Climbers X10, Stagger R X10, Stagger L X 10, and Peter Parkers X10.

Partner up and each team grab one paver.   Mosey over to Windyrush and then run down to Foxworth, stopping at each stop light to do 10 civilian count jumping lunges.

Place paver to the side while we run Jacobs Ladder up Foxworth.  7 trips with burpees (1 first trip up to 7 at end).

Mosey thru the dark forest to the football field for some partner sprints.  Partner with paver sprints down about 50 yards and back while partner does called exercise.  We did 6 rounds (last two with extended sprints) – Rounds 1 and 2 – Squats, Rounds 3 and 4 – LBC, Round 5 – dolly, Round 6 – flutter.  Winners prize was partner hand slap merkins while the rest finish.

Mosey over to picnic bench’s for two sets of Derkins (10), Dips (15), and Step ups (20).

Mosey to baseball field for some bear crawls and sprints.   Bear crawl to 2nd base, backward run back.  Bear crawl to 2nd base, backward run to outfield fence, sprint back, and bear crawl to 2nd base, karoke out and back and then sprint to starting point.

Mosey over to pull up bars for some more partner work.  Partner 1 does 10 pull ups (we need to do more of these) while Partner 2 does flutter/dolly with paver extended.

Mosey to field for a few minutes of Mary – unlucky half had to do with pavers.   Russian twist X10, Dolly X15, Russian twist X10, Flutter X15 and end with a little (very little) boat/canoe (Whiteville style).

Mosey back to starting point and finish with some merkins to run out the clock.

Naked Moleskin:

I don’t recall much chatter as I was focused on carrying the paver.   If someone came and stole them from my driveway they would never appear again – just saying.  Strong work by all with heart rate going up due to extra weight and the extended Jacobs ladder.

Hops pointed out that my boat/canoe form must have been based on a Whiteville design based on my form.  It was just YHC being wiped out although the swamp boats down there are slightly different.

Good work by Marge, Queen, and one other on the Jacobs ladder to lead the PAX.  Making YHC feel old.  Hopefully I gave everyone some good diversity to work all the major muscle groups.

Many thanks to Puddin Pop and Good Hands for giving me the keys. Much easier to be held accountable when you have the Q.   It was an honor to lead this group.

Thanks to Harley for great take out
