These are Chinooks

These are Chinooks

Ok, this is going to be a quick summary because it’s Saturday and I have little kids and errands to run and I need to mow the lawn before it rains.

From the launch at Vine we ran to the hotel parking lot for the standard side straddle hops, Imperial Walkers and Chinook Squats. Next we convened at Loch Ness for progressively difficult laps.

Lap 1 – 10 step-ups first patio, 10 derkins second patio & 10 dips at the picnic tables
Lap 2 – 20 step-ups first patio, 20 derkins second patio & 20 dips at the picnic tables
Lap 3 – 30 step-ups first patio, 30 derkins second patio & 30 dips at the picnic tables

We cut across the creek through Snyder-Lance HQ to Brixham Hill for catch-me-if-you-can. Partner 1 runs backwards, partner 2 does 5 merkins and runs forward to tag Partner 1. After the tag, partners switch roles until they reach the end of the overpass bridge. The Larry Birds did some Mary while we waited for the stragglers.

From the overpass, we scooted to the Y soccer field Helipad for Clock Merkins. Starting position is 12 o’clock for 12 merkins.  We cycled through the clock for a total of 78.

Next up, we did some cone drills on the field.
Drill 1 – Sprint to first cone, run backward to second cone, repeat until complete
Drill 2 – Bear crawl to first cone, crab walk to the second cone, repeat until complete

Switch.

Next a long mosey up Ballantyne Commons back to the Vine. We finished up with a round of time-bomb merkins and Chinook Squats.

YHC on the take out. Finito!

I’m bias, but Stonehenge is my favorite workout. You get a little extra sleep, a bagel party and everyone is pretty happy for the weekend. Shout-outs to Honeybee from bringing the FIL – Out Cold. He had no trouble keeping up with the (somewhat) younger crew. Big ups to co-Site Q JRR Tolkien for bring the resistance running bands. Everyone enjoyed the new toys. Lastly, Lex’s hair is getting pretty long. Is he starting a 70s rock cover band?
