The Day Zero crowd had a 100% increase in PAX from last week!  Although most of them apparently woke up late and as they got out of the car they were still putting on shirts, shoes, and a I’m pretty sure Dear Abby was putting on his shorts when he exited his car.   McGee didn’t have his shoes tied until COP.  Sometime after an abbreviated COP of SSH and IW everyone seemed to have their $%!T together and off the 6 of us went.

The Thing:

Starting at the top Bevington/Baybrook intersection – speed lap heading west on the Bevington loop ending up at the lower Bevington/Baybrook intersection.  ~1 mile.

Mosey to the base of Carswell and partner up with someone you haven’t already partnered with this week.  (this was my way of not having to get paired up with Swiper or McGee… again)

P1 – Run to top of hill and back.  P2 does exercises.  Flapjack until complete.

Round 1:  Dry Docks, Squats and Box Cutters.  100 total of each

Round 2:  Merkins, Calf Raises, Flutters.  100 total of each, (both legs on flutters count as 1)

Round 3:  Mountain Climbers, Lunges, Nipplers:  100 total of each (both arms/legs count as 1)

Round 4:  8 count body builders.  #CrowdPleaser:  100 total

Mosey back to school and plank while 2 at a time 10x pull-ups and 10x knee raises on the Philmont bars.

Back to parking lot for over/under (Pre-emptive Q-Jack of Swipers planned Q-Jack).  Peoples chair. Sprint finisher.

Done.

Moleskine:

Well that was a sweat fest of epic proportions.  I was almost thinking I should have carried a fuel belt on that one and been loaded down with 7-32 oz bottles of water, Gu’s, my keys, cell phone, pepper spray, 3 #2 pencils, and some Bean-o pills (for any gas problems).

Gummy and E-Trade moseyed up to us right at the start of the Decathlon looking for more than just 2 guys to workout with.  2 men staring at each other counting off imperial walkers in a desolate parking lot can look a little weird to innocent passers by.  Happy to have them.  Jump right in.  And then leave early for the 15 minute 1-mile jog back to The Rock

Lots of effort from all and only a bit of complaining especially on the body builders.

Thanks to Swiper for the takeout.
