Merkins, squats, burpees. Then hot box, then track, I mean parking lot partner work. McGee Mary for finisher. ANNOUNCEMENTS: party at Orange Whip on 12/17. Bring cookies and tequila. COT: McGee with takeout.
We weren’t sure if we were doing 45 or 60 mins today. I wanted 45 but the rest of the Pax were unanimous in the desire to go 60 so that’s what we did. @hops would be proud that I kept the full hour under 3 miles. But alas he wasn’t there. Turkey gravy got the best of him.
Enjoy the long weekend men.

Uncharted Territory

Date: 2023-11-22 AO: wamrap Q: rachel PAX: mcgee, Mile High, Alf, O Tannenbaum, Orange Whip, poptart FNGs: None COUNT: 7 WAMRAP ventured into uncharted territory this morning. It was glorious. Thanks for indulging in the nonsense.

When raining… climb!

Date: 2023-11-21 AO: swift Q: flipper PAX: bratwurst, voodoo, Gump, Hippie, citgo, frasier, flipper, bunker, Wolverine FNGs: None COUNT: 9 WARMUP: run to parking deck in ballantyne village
THE THANG: Late yesterday YHC gets a text from voodoo advising the parking deck would still be 50 degrees, but dry. As the Q, with great power comes great responsibility, so the decision was made to provide comfortable discomfort for the PAX this morning. As such, out were plans for for circles at the bull-ring and in came a new plan, this is how it went…
Run up ramps from the basement, first two, then three… up to five, not counting the flats, just the climbs. Jog back down and loop around in the basement to reunite before up we go again. After five ramps, four, then three.
After three it was time for the main event, all the way to the top! Running hard on tired legs makes you stronger, and so the PAX ran hard in pursuit of #gainz. Good effort by all, with many hitting the summit before 0609, when the call was made to return to the first level where we circled up out of the rain.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Christmas Party on 12/17 at Orange Whips Bunker Jam at Rea Farms on Turkey-Day for a no drop 6 miler.
COT: YHC took us out
