Children’s Laughter… Silenced

Children’s Laughter… Silenced

Don’t worry that title is purely ironic.  Please read on.

6 men gathered for the winding odyssey that is the Brave.  Here is a brief summary with commentary.

With disclaimer given and Kirby’s gear in place, we head east on Ballantine Commons.  Left on Meadows run and head toward the playground at the bottom of the Murderhorn.  Stops along the way as follows (all IC): 5 merkins, 5 squats/10 merkins, 15 merkins, 10 merkins/10 squats.

At this point YHC gives the instructions for 5 rounds of pull ups and dips and points vaguely toward the playground.  PAX begin to move when we see that… the pull up bars have been taken out!!!  What sick, twisted maniac would do such a thing.  Anyway, no pull ups.

Consumed by rage because I really wanted to do pull ups, YHC begins barking out whatever comes to mind on the picnic benches.  10 dips IC, 5 jump ups, 5 decline CDDs IC, 10 jump ups, 10 dips IC, 15 jump ups, 5 decline CDDs IC, 10 jump ups, 10 dips IC.

Run to the top of the Murderhorn, which is fun.  Briefly circle for the Six with planks and 6 inch planks.  Then continue to Stonecrest movie theater and the “mini-Murderhorn” grass hill.  Line up facing the hill for three rounds of: 10 speed skaters IC, sprint the hill, 5 jump squats at the top.

Back down the Murderhorn. 10 reps each leg of single leg romanian deadlifts, then run backwards to the first lanp post, which is kind of far.  Repeato.  Run up the Murderhorn to the top, which is fun.  Circle for the Six then start the long trek home.  Several stops to keep the PAX together included: flutters, planks, LBCs, and everyone’s favorite, the 8 count “Man-maker” burpee.

With about four minutes left, we tried a new approach to Mary.  Line up a breast and do 5 inch worms forward then roll to your six and do a called exercise. Repeat until time called.  Need more time for this next time.

Announcements: Blood drive.  Collections for Escobar.

Moleskin:  Pleasure to lead as always and great effort by all.  Thanks!
