A Cure for the Christmas Hangover

A Cure for the Christmas Hangover

10 men decided to shake out the cob webs and work off the good spirits of Christmas this morning at Day Zero.  With the Q suffering from a food hangover and missing a couple of pre-workout staples, it got a little ugly out there this morning.  It went something like this:

Warm up lap around the track and circle up on the basketball court

COP:

• 10 Burpees OYO
• 25 Side Straddle Hops IC
• 9 Burpees OYO
• 25 Low Slow Squat IC
• 8 Burpees OYO
• 25 Imperial Walkers IC
• 7 Burpees OYO
• 25 Mountain Climbers IC
• 6 Burpees OYO
• 15 Wide Arm Merkins IC
• 5 Burpees OYO
• 20 Monkey Humpers OYO
• 6 Burpees OYO
• 15 Diamond Merkins
• 7 Burpees OYO
• 20 Jump Squats OYO
• 8 Burpees OYO
• That’s enough of that

Run up Carswell and Right onto 51 to Calvary with a stop at Elm Ln for some additional SSHs.  Wave to the 5 FIA ladies running around the parking lot at The Rock talking about their nails.  Head into the Hot Box.

• 30 Jump Ups
• 30 Dips
• 30 Derkins
• People’s Chair with 50 Air Presses in cadence
• 30 Jump Ups
• 30 Dips
• 30 Derkins

Run over to Entrance 4 where the ladies of FIA seem to be doing some stretching.  They may need to hit up the waxing center, because the tall skinny one named Hopper was looking a little hairy.  This is where admittedly YHC tried something new and had a Q-Fail.  Mosey to bottom of hill and Bear Sprint (like a crawl, but move hands together and then feet together) up the hill.  That didn’t work.

Time to get moving and run down Rea to Bevington.  Run back to Elm and gather together.  Run to each street (left & right side) and turn back for the six, then on to next street.  Kind of like an awkward long suicide.  Once at Carswell, AYG back to school.

Line up along wall.  With feet on wall:

• CDD x 10
• Move to the Right, recover
• CDD x 10
• Move to the Left, recover
• People’s Chair w/ heels off the ground for a minute
• Balls to wall, recover
• People’s Chair w/ heels off the ground. Everyone calls a 5 count in order.

Mosey to rock pile and pick up a lift rock/stone

• Overhead press x 25
• Tricep Extension x 25
• Curl x 25
• Hold Rock out front for 10 count
• Repeato (all x 20)

Back up to parking lot for 90 seconds of Mary

• Freddie Mercury x 20
• Rosalita x 20

That is all.

Moleskin:

As I said, YHC was not really feeling it this morning and wasn’t sure I was going to hold up.  Since losing my Clif Bar on the drive over somewhere under the seat, and then forgetting to pop some gum as I always do, I was not on my game this morning (hence not getting back up to 10 burpees in the COP).  But with 5 fasties here today, I had no choice but to lead from behind all morning.  Solid work by everyone and thanks for giving the bear sprints a try.  Well, Swiper refusniked right out of the gate.  Maybe he’s smarter than he looks.

Rachel made a return to where he was named and again proved to be worthy of the name.  Dude was crushing it.  High Tide made his debut at Day Zero.  When I pulled into the parking lot he was standing next to his Kettle Bell.  For a second I thought I was at the wrong workout.  Thanks for joining us, keep coming back.  Frasier is a man that could only hold back for so long.  He just couldn’t stand seeing Rachel and Swiper up front, so he had to make a move running down Rea to get to the front.  Fletch got in on the action as well.  Then McGee beast moded it up with them too.  It felt like a regular Tuesday at Fast Twitch watching all these people run way ahead of me.  Dear Abby found out quickly that if you just hang back on the Bevington suicides, you never had to run back and just kept a nice mosey.  That’s why he’s a reporter, folks.  Very intuitive.

All in all, I am smoked and my shoulders don’t like me very much.  All of the upsidedown, blood rushing to the head, CDD’s and other wall activities were terrible.  Definitely going to do more of that in the future.

It’s been a great 2015 at Day Zero and I look forward to an ever better and more painful 2016.  See you all next year!  That is just next Saturday, so don’t think we’re shutting down anytime soon!
