What’s the name of this workout?

Two weeks ago or so Dasher asked if I would Q a workout at Cutherbertson on a Friday.  Sure, a little farther away than Waverly, but a good change of pace.  Then he tells me it’s the one that starts 15 mins earlier.  On a Friday.  #OverAchievers

Woke up a bit late but still rolled in with 2 minutes to spare and 8 other men staring me down in the gloom.  Weak disclaimer which was not up to Waxhaw standards and off we went.

COP – SSH, IW, Merkins, Lunges, Complaints about soreness from yesterday’s workout, and Mountain Climbers.

Mosey to find the two traffic circles.  Found one then went the wrong way into HS parking lot.  No matter.  Parking spot Plank Walk Merkin Ladder from 1-10.  This was a big hit.  Back to first traffic circle and head in different direction to find second circle.  Triple Nickel with round multiplier.  5 burpees at that circle, 5 big boy sit-ups at that circle.  Increase by 5 each time for 5 total rounds.

Some mary for recovery.

Run somewhere else until we find some benches.  10 dips here, 10 decline merkins there.  Repeat for 20x and 30x reps.

Run somewhere else until we find some wall.  Peoples chair.  Arm raise cadence count to 100.  Likely excessive.

Run somewhere else, towards the launch I think, until we find benches.  10 Split Leg Squats Right, 10 Left, run island and repeat for 20x and 30x.

Back towards launch for another Parking spot Plank Walk Merkin ladder from 10-1.

5 rounds of 5 burpees OYO during the road back to get us up to 100 burpees.

Finish with some plank shoulder taps, plank hip slaps and LBC’s.

Moleskine:

Realized I didn’t even know the name of the workout until I went to post on Slack.  It’s Swarm.  I think we were supposed to do 4 miles minimum.  My watch said 3.5 miles.  Others were over 4, but they are taller so figured the longer legs covered more ground.

I’ve posted with several of the men this morning a handful of times, some others were new or maybe just met 1x or 2x.  Strong crowd.

Hurry was out in front early pushing the pace on the Triple Nickel, but Burpees are not friendly to the tall PAX as Gerber commented … what do you hate the tall guys?

Sugar Daddy was also War Daddy and was crushing it out there.

Thanks for inviting me out to lead.
