Bermuda in January

Bermuda in January

(Posted on behalf of Lamont)

Given the recent cold snap, YHC wanted to give the pax a nice break – to the Bermuda Triangle.

Warm up:
HB mile to get loose

COP:
– SSH (30)
– Imperial Walker (30)
– LSS (30)

The Thang:

The triangle consisted of 3 pain points (PP) with a short run between each:

PP 1: Leg Blasters – 10 Squats, 10 Lunges, 10 Jump Lunges (Mary Katherines), 10 Squat Jumps, 10 Calf Raises

PP 2: 20 LBCs, 20 Flutters, 20 Mountain Climbers

PP 3: 10 Merkins, 10 CDDs, 10 Wide Arm Merkins

Made 4 trips around the triangle with increasing reps on rounds 2 and 3, thanks to suggestions from HB, Nomad, and others. Note to self for next time – the pax always want more reps.

Worked in a couple of rounds of active recovery in between trips around the triangle:
25 Arm Circles in each direction
25 Air Presses (full extension – no ear flapping)

Mosey to picnic tables for Dips and Step ups – 3 rounds of 10 reps each

6MOM:
– Rosalita (30)
– Dolly (30)
– CMB for Shep

Moleskin:
Temperatures were in the mid-twenties but YHC noted some layer stripping and several sweat angels post Mary. We got so warm in fact that it felt like we were in Bermuda, so mission accomplished and no pax were lost. Biggest challenge turned out to be how to count step ups as some of the pax chose to interpret the Q’s very clear instructions in a way that would minimize their own personal pain (and benefit). Once realized, let’s do another round correctly. Thank you for the honor to lead and for making it out just a few short hours after the Clemson-Bama game ended. And thanks to Shep for taking us out.
