Drippy Monkey

Drippy Monkey

A strong nine-man team of renegade rednecks at the Outland this morning, eager to partake in a highly anticipated beatdown of elephantine proportions.

Couple of pre-runners – GJ for 5 and myself for 2.5. Completely soaked in sweat before the workout starts – check.

THANG:

1/2 mile mosey down the sidewalk over to the High School. Stayed far out enough in front to mute the complaints. Madison selected as initial Q whisperer.

COP in strange territory – HS front parking lot. Warmup exercises by the main road to the chagrin of the pax and the amusement of the passersby. Think we mixed in a few burpees as well. Goal was to stretch the legs, as we would be doing quite a bit of running for the remaining time.

Line up for some #tree-cer-size sprints. Sprint the length of the main parking lot, stopping at each tree for 7 reps, with a long sprint back to the start from the last tree

Something else?

Mosey to the HS back parking lot, dodging the student driver-in-training learning how to text, smoke, and eat a honeybun at the same time. Short COP with some forgettable Mary to let the pax catch up.

Line up for the Drippy Monkey, a nice little variation on the #monkeymile theme that we all love so much.

Run 0.75 miles at AYG pace, down the student driver dragstrip with a hard right towards the picnic tables near the bus lot. A nice stack of cold bottle water awaits the pax at this Pokemon Gym, but instructions are that the lead pax are to perform 10 merkins on arrival and return for the six. Once all have arrived, a 90sec water break is the prize. Lead pax get a full mile in, while the guys bringing up the rear consume a pro-rated ration.

After the water break, during which everyone slammed back an entire bottle of water, partner up for some long suicides. Each team to select an exercise for the whole group. P1 runs the length of the bus lot (125 yds?) and back while P2 does exercise. Flapjack and switch to the next team.

MOLESKIN:

Golly Gee Willikers – that was a lot of sweat. I consumed probably 2 liters of water before 8AM, and I’m pretty sure it all ended up on the pavement.

TClaps to Hairband for fartsacking the workout so he could leave for a hiking trip at noon, and then posting timestamped pictures on twitter to remove all doubt.

What happened to Countertop? Does he still F3? When I return to Outland after many weeks away, I expect him to be there waiting on me, you know.

I have gotten fat and slow during my recent weeks off while the pax have gotten lean and mean. Nice view from the rearward midsection of the pax during the Monkey. I still almost harfed. Glass Joe led the way, but tainted his victory with some obvious cheating on the route. Upon video review, it was decided that nobody wants to watch videos of Glass Joe run, so we threw the whole thing out.

Jabberwocky hanging in there, and holding tightly on to his breakfast this time. Twas brillig, and the slithy toves. Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome rathes outgrabe.

Woody powering through with some obvious heel pain. Hang in there.

Good to have our newest recruit, Pikachu. Former UNCC Baseball player, with a long history of injury, but a great attitude. He said he’d be back – we’ll look forward to it.

Had to skip coffeeteria, so didn’t get to see what kind of breakfast concoction TLS had whipped up. Didn’t miss it.

Lots of rumblings from the normally quiet and kind Shepherd about the all-pavement workout selection from today. Apparently, he longs for green pastures of goose droppings on the practice fields. . Perhaps next week my bearded friend.

Until then,

– HH
