Greatest hits countdown #3

Greatest hits countdown #3

Only 3 chances left to make your likely first, and possibly last, post to SOFA WIB.

Counting down the greatest (relative term) hits from the past 18 months.  Checking in at #3…

María María

Sundancer was proud of this one, and that pride caused him to put up a “complete it in 45 minutes and you can name it” challenge.  One Eye was the first to do it, but you can’t name a workout that way.  Too easy.  So the naming went One Eye, who got his name from his hospital name’s resemblance to a certain cyclops from Monsters Inc., to another interpretation of his moniker.  Governor Mark Sanford was a famous recent individual who thought with the little head instead of the big head, and his Argentinian mistress’ name was María.  Extra credit points for Sundancer also disliking the Carlos Santana song by the same name.

The Thang

AYG half mile to the corner of Rea and Rea (just past the HT).  Overachievers get burpees while waiting for the six.  Partner up – size / speed / conversational skills / etc. all matter.

Forward run to first lit street light.  Backwards run to next.  7 burpees.
Forward run to next lit street light.  Backwards run to next.  10 merkins.
Forward run to next lit street light.  Backwards run to next.  10 WW2 situps (you’re welcome).

At each side street, 5 Dumbocrats (equal opportunity suck).

Continue the sequence all the way to Hwy 51 and back to HT.  AYG back to Olde Providence.

Generally cover 3.6ish miles, which includes about a mile of backward running, with “a crap ton” of all of the above.  Suffice it to say, there are a lot of street lights along the way.

Likely a bit of OT involved, so plan accordingly.  Good luck getting back in 45 minutes, but that’s the goal.

See you in the gloom.
