Stars and Bars

Stars and Bars

Four red blooded Americans on July 5th for a US Flag inspired workout.  Old Glory has 13 stripes  and 50 stars, so we went for 13 exercises and 50 reps of each.

Thang

Run the Chadwyck mile.

50 reps of each of the following 13 exercises in order:

1. Merkins
2. Pull-ups
3. LBCs
4. Squats
5. Wide arms
6. Freddy Mercury
7. Lunges
8. Diamonds
9. Flutters
10. CDDs
11. Monkey Humpers
12. WW2 Situps
13. Burpees

Run the Chadwyck mile again.

Moleskine

Ouch, on a variety of fronts.  Not sure if it was the jalapeno poppers, the beer, or the lingering calf tightness…but that hurt.  I believe everyone got through 12 of the 13, and took off for the final mile at some stage of completion of the burpees.  In hindsight, probably should have led off with those, as that was a brutal way to finish.

Sledge, who Hammer recently cut loose from his tether, took the opening mile VT.  Yes, @Sundancer, feel free to point and laugh from afar, as it finally happened.  YHC felt the strong urge to Elvis to the convenient port-o-jon about midway through the opening mile, slowed, and tried to sneak past him with a finishing sprint only to be rebuffed.  Strong work from Sledge today.

Grapevine – with what may be a site FNG post – apparently parked, thought he was in the wrong spot, played stalker from the car, and then parked again.  Confusion may have been partially a result of YHC flying in on 2-wheels at 0530.  He caught up at the school and flew through the list.  Pretty confident he was the closest to finishing of the group.

Lot of strength work today, so feel free to walk around feeling swole.  That’s all I’ve got.
