Last Friday night General, One-Niner, and YHC rucked around the greenway for the last Black Diamond. General couldn’t go get a beer so One-Niner had no choice to hand the baton to Mighty Mite.
Elon Park is one of the better AOs in the region and closest to my house so we met at 0500 and got after it.
THE THANG
Warm Up 12 SSH, 12 IW, 12 Windmills
Each pax picks up two bricks and gets instruction:
1 mile run to and back from the clubhouse in the woods with bricks
100 pullups on the playground(no bricks)
200 man maker merkins with bricks
300 squats with bricks
400 lbcs with bricks
1 mile run to and back from the clubhouse in the woods with bricks
MOLESKINE
Black Diamond is supposed to be a more difficult than average workout and I think we accomplished that. None of the pax finished the 2nd mile and only a few were able to finish the reps and get a short run in at the end. Most of the mumblechatter was complaining about the workout. Adding brick man-makers in the merkins was the biggest #crowdpleaser.
In the spirit of fostering leadership amongst the pax, the next Q was given to Fallout. Stay tuned for his decision on the next time and location.
Announcements:
YHC to Q Stonehenge this Saturday. We’re going to do a lot of 30 sets. DaVinci is converging with with Stonehenge. If you’re not out running in the woods for Ragnar, come for the birthday celebration. Even try to come by if you have enough time between Ragnar legs.
The Brave and Fight Club both closed on 10/7.
Pray for all those in harm’s way from Hurricane Matthew
