WHICH WAY IS THE POOL?

WHICH WAY IS THE POOL?

The Thang:

15 Pax posted on the last day of May to get the guns in shape for the summer trips to the pool.

Part of the disclaimer was YHC’s litany of old man injuries we would be working around….thus low on mileage, high on pain.

We wandered through the baby-butt-smooth Calvary parking lot and circled up in the front entrance.

COP:

• IW x 20 IC – – so beautiful, we will do a whole workout of IW some day.
• Low Slow Squat x 15 IC.
• Mt Climber x 20 IC.
• Arm circles (missed Van Pelt’s name for these) x 10 IC – flapjack x 10 IC

Off we go to the nearest parking lot.

Yes, the fan favorite, Merkin Ladder – – –

• Run across the parking lot – 20 merkins
• Run back – 19 merkins
• Run across – 18 merkins.
• You get the idea – – down to 1.

This was fun.

Plank while the 6 finishes.

Circle up for some continuous Mary (LBC, Dolly, Flutter – 2 times through)

Back on our feet and we mosey to the soccer field hill.

11’s:

• 1 jump squat at bottom
• Run up all the way to the road – 10 burpees.
• On we go until you get to 10 jump squats and 1 burpee.

This felt harder than expected – possibly smoked arms from the merkin ladder?

Taking advantage of our position on the soccer fields, we get in groups of 3 for a few minutes of grinders.  You can’t coach height – or speed.

Slow mosey up the hill into the pavilion.

2 rounds of:

• 10 bench step ups
• 10 dips
• 10 LBC’s

Then it is the long, slow trot back to the start point where we circle up for some final Mary:

• Side crunch
• Flapjack
• Freddie Mercury.

Annnnnnnnd, we’re done.

Moleskin

Good work out there by everyone this morning – quite humid – a taste of the next 2 months.

Champagne got his grinder fix.  All good with that.

My arms hurt a bit as I type this – – all to the visual satisfaction of the babes at the pool.  Soak it up girls, soak it up.
