Beating 2.0s training

Beating 2.0s training

Shepherd and I ran the Common Heart Firecracker 5K the day before and then afterwards, there was a wheelbarrow race which Shep and I entered. We lost. To a F3 2.0. I told him before we started that we better not lose. Yes, so Shep may have been 40 years older than the 2.0. No excuses. Only pain due to training.

Mosey to the side road with a ride-by from Barney doing his best Police Academy training techniques and getting the neighborhood dogs riled up.

IW IC x20

3 count Low, Slow Squats IC x10

Side Road Partner wheelbarrows with FlapJacks as needed (or by the islands along the road). What better way to move the crowd and train to beat 2.0s in wheelbarrows than just doing it along the entire side road. Plank until everyone finishes.

Now that we have ruined shoulders, added some hand blisters (at least I did) and generally regretted the last few bit of life, let’s mosey over to the hill.

3 rounds of 7. Did I say 3? Meant 4.

Merkins/CDDs
LBCs/Heels to Heaven
Squats/Dolly
Burpees at the bottom with a run to the top

At some point, HB joins us during 7s. After taking a long time to get out of his car after already being late and then stopping for a while as we wondered who it was. Better late than never I guess.

Mosey to the wall beside the bathroom.

Thanks to Shepherd for taking us out.

Moleskine
– Not quite as humid as last week but still a lot of sweat dripping and some great sweat angels at the end of Mary.
– I heard complaining during the Wheelbarrow training. This is good. Though Bernanke forgetting gloves was not good.
– HB should have had to bear crawl the entire road to make up for being late. It’s only fair.
– Tough work out there by everyone. The hill is a good hill for 7s. I promise I wasn’t making it longer but it really did seem like it was getting longer. Or maybe we were just getting tired. Maybe
– Glad everyone came out as the 4th could have given you an excuse for fartsacking but you men correctly refused the fartsack.
– I am convinced we will win the wheelbarrow race next year. #noexcuses

Thanks for letting me lead!
