BRR Field Trip

BRR Field Trip

YHC felt inspired last night…enough so that I actually wrote a pre-blast.  A few more men read it and felt inspired to post to what was a very un-Charge-like work out.  YHC planted the virtual shovel-flag (left the real one at home), disclaimed the pax, and we were off!  We departed from Providence Day School and made our way to YHC’s neighborhood of 16 years, Stonehaven.  We stopped a few times along the way to keep the pax together doing things like imperial walkers, squats, mountain climbers, and LBCs.  We weaved through the neighborhood to get to our final destination, all the while hearing reminders about how this is a 45 minute bootcamp.  What can I say…it’s BRR season and I wanted to give the pax the opportunity to experience how I get my sad clown hill runs.  It’s a near 1/4 mile, 8% hill on a stretch of Rocky Falls Rd.

When we arrived at the top of the hill, YHC gave the following instructions.

• Run about 1/4 mile to the bottom of Rocky Falls
• 10 merkins at the bottom
• Run back to the Charter intersection at the top of the hill
• Repeato 3x or as much as you can do

I think everyone got in at least 3 hill repeats, Pro and Babyface got in an extra half, and Lee got in four (nice work!).

At about 6am we departed the hill at Rocky Falls, passed YHC’s humble abode (no bathroom requests from the pax), and made our way back to PDS.  We did some more squats, imperial walkers and LBCs on the way.  Also a Sir Topham Hat “sad clown” sighting along the way.

Arriving back at the launch point, we finished with some Mary – flutters, dolly, freddy mercury.

Moleskin:

• Huddle is probably still roaming Stonehaven as you read this.  We lost him on our way into Stonehaven.
• Good to see Lee on his FNG post to The Charge.  He talked about how he’d heard so much about the great AO…unfortunately he got to see none of it today.  Come back Lee!  We promise everything you heard was true.
• Gummy and Prohibition were inspired by the pre-blast.  One mention of hills and they come a runnin’!
• Nice to see Winterplace back out in the gloom this morning after a bit of a hiatus. He’s been doing cross-fit and jiu-jitsu.  Apparently he likes paying for his workouts and then beating people up afterward.  We’ll be looking for his next Q to be original!
• Major t-claps to Backup for bringing his Yeti full of water today so we could rehydrate.  I think I speak for all when I say we left a lot out on the course today.  Thanks brother!
