Hot Wheels

Hot Wheels

12 pax posted at Providence Day School for the last day of November. YHC had pre-tweeted that the pax should wear running shoes because the plan was to go off-campus for some miles.

After a quick disclaimer, 10 of us rolled over to the motor court for COP.

Warm up:

• SSH x 20 IC
• IW x 15 IC
• Low, slow squat x 10 IC

The Thang:

Mosey to the main road running through campus and make a right toward Sardis Road. At this point, Monk and Chowda came jogging up after not finding us at the stadium. The 12 of us made our way up to Sardis Road and made a left.

Loop 1:

Run to Renwick Drive on the opposite side of Sardis Road (watch for cars! #frogger) and partner up by speed.
Partners run in opposite directions on Sardis until they hit Livingston Drive, turn in and run to the back of the loop. When they meet, perform 20 hand slap merkins and continue along the loop back to Renwick for 20 WW2 sit-ups each.

Run to Glen Oaks Road back on the PDS side of Sardis and make a left. Run down to the intersection with Whitestone Road.

Loop 2:
One partner runs to Canyon Trail and makes a right. The other partner runs down Whitestone and makes a left on Post Oak Road.
When partners meet, P1 performs 10 dumbocrats with feet on P2’s back then P2 performs 15 WW2 situps while P1 planks on his feet, then both partners continue their loops and return to the starting point, where P2 performs 10 dumbocrats with feet on P1’s back. P1 then performs 15 WW2 situps while P2 planks on his feet.

Run to the intersection of Glen Oaks Road and Canyon Trail.

Loop 3:

One partner runs to Robmont Road and makes a right while the other partner runs down Canyon Trail and makes a left on Robmont Road.
When partners meet, each partner performs 10 burpees, then returns to the starting point for 10 more burpees.

Return to the launch lot for Mary:

• Dr. W x 5 IC – #Qfail on the counting. YHC will keep working on that one because it seems like it would be hard if I did it correctly.
• Wife pleasers/hip bridges x 10 IC
• Ass-kickers, with opposite arm extended x 10 IC
• Superman x 10 IC
• Dolly x 10 IC, hold it, Flutters x 10 IC
• About 30 seconds left, so plank, six inches (with 10 count from Fifty Shades), regular, DONE.

COT – Thanks to Baracus with the take-out

Announcements:

• Please bring toys and other supplies to workouts this week for Operation Sweet Tooth. They can also be brought to the South Charlotte Christmas party on Friday, 12/2. Full list of needed items can be found here. Donated items will be given to Alexander Youth Network.

• Tesla will have the Q next week for a Pearl Harbor-themed workout in honor of his uncles. Join him for a memorable beatdown.

Moleskine:

• YHC received a DM from Geraldo this weekend asking if I could pick up his Q at the Charge this week. Having just Q’d at the AO, I was a little apprehensive that the pax would be bored if I didn’t switch things up. Hence, the Hot Wheels loop-de-loop course we did today. It was somewhat inspired by this past Monday’s DMZ backblast, which sounded pretty painful. Thanks to Bushwood for getting the wheels turning. Geraldo, we hope to see you back out in the gloom soon!
• Mileage was estimated at just over 3 this morning, but we came in short because whoever was leading the pax back to the start (Baracus?) took an early turn off of Sardis instead of retracing our steps. I’ll make sure we make it up the next time I Q at the Charge.
• Great to see Ductwork this morning on his way to an early morning meeting. Thanks for not running us over! #movingspeedbumps
• Great to run with Nibbler this morning, who’s now living in Area 51 and working on posting more regularly now that he’s back in town. We hope to see more of you at some of the other Area 51 AOs! Joust is a great Friday option – right down the road at Charlotte Christian.
• Thanks to Baracus as site Q for the opportunity to lead and thank you to the pax for following me down the dark, leafy streets off Sardis Road.
