Racing against Elsa

Racing against Elsa

YHC has proudly proclaimed that it never rains at The Body Shop. Only 1 other PAX was brave enough to see that challenge today and we were not beaten by the remnants of a simple Cat 1 hurricane.

WARM-UP

Long mosey around the parking lots and gather in front of the school entrance

• SSH x 21
• Moroccan nightclub
• Squats
• Goofballs
• Chris Froome (goofball with hands forward, imitating the goofy awkward riding style of the 4-time Tour de France champ)
• Stretches

THE THANG

Head to the awning for some coverage and

Daytona 500

• Plank walk shoulder work for a lap around the posts

Mosey to the rock pile

• Repeato with 26 curls (to match his new world record of 76 dogs eaten in 10 minutes — what an American!)

MOLESKINE

Some days you expect no one to show for the workout — with the rain of a hurricane passing through, YHC was understanding of that and was ready to call a solo 45-minute Have a Nice Day.  But Chastain isn’t the kind of PAX to let that happen (for better or worse). He showed, wasn’t afraid of some precipitation or strange and made-up exercises. He was a great workout partner this AM, made friendly with the fine people who work at Rea View and show up by 0600 on summer mornings and pushed YHC to do better. Fine morning, fine weather, fine people.
