Marathoners were doing marathon things. We’re not cool enough to run with those guys so we did our own thang.
THE THANG: The Mermaid challenge. Run toward Charlotte Christian and turn around at the 30 minute mark. Spoiler alert: Mermaid would not be pleased.
No one made it to Charlotte Christian. To be fair, the OG Mermaid Challenge launched from SCMS parking lot. It’s a classic, but like all classics time moves on and the classic is just that, another classic.
MARY: Might have been a Cruncher or a RFYL’er out there named Mary but when I asked their names they just pulled out the bear mace.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 5K Ultra, Christmas Party, Blood Drive. None of these were announced.
COT: Ductwork took us out.
Great weather out there this morning. Very low humidity and cool temps. Great time of the year to get out and push yourself.

I give you, the Norwegian 5000!
(OK, it’s technically the Norwegian 4×4, but that name lacks a certain gravitas. The 5000 is just a working title for now, but I’m sure we’ll come up with something appropriate to call it by the time we’re done with it.)
Well, I know you’re eager to hear all about it, so we’ll not delay this any longer.
WARMUP: – SSH – IW – LSS – Prying Squat – Mountain Climber (because, you know, Norwegian 5000)
THE THANG: Norwegian 4×4: – Swings = 1:00 – Lawnmowers = :30/:30 – Bottoms-up Presses = :30/:30 – Goblet Squats = 1:00 – Rest = 3:00 (“rest” included walks, carries, and some actual “rest”) – Repeato 4x
Body weight 4×1: – Standing broad jump = 1:00 (note, we weren’t standing there jumping over actual broads; it’s that the span of our jumps were broad.) – Bent over rows = 1:00 – Merkins = 1:00 (because Flipper likes chesticles) – 3 point squat jumps = 1:00
MARY: Some rando, questionable stuff Voodoo found on the internet – A head lifting thing – A side planking thing – L/R – And no time for other things, like bird dogs, pullovers, or planks.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Nary a one.
COT: Good stuff. And mumblechatter. We’ll keep after it and refining it (esp the future double snatch disaster) and working on our VO2 max.
Until then, aye
