11 idiots Pax made it out for 5:15 showing of Ignition. YHC covered DCCS at the start, and for all those who attended Swarm on Friday this time again referenced potential crossing to Champion Forest, but made no promises. Unlike last week, did not have Smithers in attendance so the fun of watching Indian National Runs around parking lot was lost. Today’s goal was to try to maximize the hour and amount of time not moving (or having my watch pause)
Warmup:
Mosey front of school and quick lap around island back to HS parking lot. All pax got to watch Dasher make light work of the fence to find refuge in cleaner restrooms. Good thing still agile, and did not end up like the deer that was just down the end of parking lot. As we made our first pass by the deer we got a quick smell of either the dead carcass or whatever Tool Time left in the woods. Either way it was foul.
Warmup:
Thang:
Triple Nickle on the parking lot hill. From Spirit Rock to bottom street sign. 5 Diamond Merkins (bottom) x 5 Speed Skaters (top) x 5 laps. At completion we have first dry heave from Ice. Of course YHC telling him just like wrestling camp, if your puking your feet keep moving. Today we are not stopping, time to circle for the 6. About 30 mins in and we have just a shade over 3 miles logged.
Once all have completed and we have collected the 6, lets cross and head to Champion Forest. Mosey to intersection and split into 2 groups going opposite ways around circle. Each group will do National Run until we intersect with other group. At which point we will collectively do 30 x Smurf Jacks, 20 x Merkins, 10 x Bobby Hurley. Once completed continue with same group and continue the National Run around circle until we meet again. Repeat 30-20-10 and lets mosey out of neighborhood back to Cutty.
Cross over to school and head down the hill, Bottlecap gave Ice a little jolt and test with sprint down. As we are just a little after 6:00, we make a left at intersection before getting to close to the Deer as now there are about 25 vultures picking at the carcass and sitting along the fence line. Believe it was Deflated who exclaimed that good thing we did not go all the way down there as they may have tried to eat him as he felt like death. Continue along path back to Rudy’s Palace. YHC gave little extra juice for Ice9 to see if there was any dessert left in him that he did not discard earlier, but quickly relented and took spot in mid-pack.
Finished with Paula Abdul back towards COT with 5 Dry Docks on the return. Funny seeing Bottlecap now toting the watch and quickly being consumed by the even mileage requirements. As, he was only .1 from 7 miles, decided to add the few extra laps in parking lot to even out the total mileage.
