Sweating Buckets @ The Brave

Sweating Buckets @ The Brave

First of all, YHC is glad that these back blasts are typed rather than handwritten…I took some heat for my toddler penmanship on the station signage. I took the M and the dog out Thursday night to mosey around the Ballantyne area and formulate a course for my Brave Q. I stole a little page out of Mario’s book with the laps and pain stations around the pond. Still on my pull-up high from Thursday, I definitely wanted to incorporate these again. I loaded up my 3 wheel drive workhorse Camry with 350+ lbs of weighted buckets, a sandbag and dragged my tailpipe all the way to the Vine. (That’s right Tolkien, your not the only one with buckets). From there it began:

Warm-up

• Slow mosey across the street into the Parking Lot by the hotel
• 50 SSH, Windmills, Mountain climbers
• Bucket carries to gravel trail/bridge

The Thang

• AMRAP circuit
• Station 1 – (1st building: 10 Derkins, 10 Incline Merkins) This is where Fire Hazard and others began to make fun of my hand-writing. This would also be the last time that we would see Frasier, Cold Cuts and Favhra until they lapped the field …Continue on to Station 2
• Station 2 – 10 Box Jumps (XPO building)….Continue to Station 3
• Station 3 – 20 dips, 20 X & O’s crunches
• Continue down to the bridge and gravel trail and bucket carry down to the pull-up bars and finish off with 10 pull-ups. Run back to Station 1 and continue the cycle

Time was called with 15min to spare, count off into groups of 3 and team bucket carries back to the launch point…just at a mosey pace….FORGET that, Argonaut comes sprinting through with a bucket. One-Niner doesn’t liked to be passed and fires back into full gear. PAX bring the buckets and sand bags over to Stone Mountain Grill which has a spacious wall, perfect for some People’s Chair.

• Count off into 2 groups and lineup with group along the wall
• Bucket/Sandbag pass down the line and back x 2
• Bucket/Sandbag pass down the line and back, down the line again and back again x 2
• The legs are starting to feel it for the final one – Bucket/Sandbag pass down the line and back x 3

Moleskin

• For those of you who hated the bucket carries, you can thank the M for that one…asked me Thursday night to clean out the garage of everything that I don’t use and pointed at the buckets. I immediately fired back ” I am using those, TOMORROW” and felt the need to incorporate them
• Any station signs/notes from here on out will be typed, or hand-written by one of the kids in my neighborhood with better hand-writing than me
• Strong work by the PAX on a weary leg RED FRIDAY, a lot of people were pressing hard through some tired legs
• Record timing on an FNG nickname…last name is Hanson STOP say no more – Mmm Bop I heard it come from Cold Cuts first so I am assuming that he has the CD

Thanks again to Mario for the opportunity to lead.
