I’m only happy when it rains

Date: 2024-01-09 AO: falcon-crest Q: MARTA PAX: Clover FNGs: None COUNT: 2 It’s a rainy and blustery day. Have no fear, it never rains on Olde Providence or on THE PAX of #falconscrest or #hydra in the gloom. The rain held off the the most part and we took shelter beneath the bank for the most part. 1.7 miles and #mumblechatter to boot. topics included CFB, disdain foe acting in Wheel of Time, and big law. A high pressure /timeshare like sales pitch to give blood was excluded. We had 2 today and YHC totally thought the :fartsack symbol was just a rain cloud and attendance would be less sparse.

Except for Tolkien who did his best Madison impression by wearing tights only into the restaurant, and Toolbag who came in soaking wet and decided to squeeze his wet socks out into a hashbrown box. MARY: Did not run in the rain this morning COT: Lord, I thank you for sunshine, I thank you for rain. I thank you for joy, I thank you for pain. It’s a beautiful day.

Creativity isn’t always a good thing…

Once there, 3 sets of 3-5-8 either supine rows or pull-up negatives. Plank for active recovery between sets Carry bells back to the parking lot.
For the other movements today, YHC thought he was being creative combining for a clean & park to squat then press… what it actually was was insanity. Either way the PAX gamely followed along and we did 3x of 3-5-8, scrapping the park after set 1, then moving clean & press then double front squat for the full count of each in sequence.
Offset waiter carries of 20-30-50 paces rounded us out

38 The Maths Beatdown

Date: 2024-01-06 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: voodoo, MARTA, The Worm, Emoji, mighty_mite, Mountain Momma, ickey_shuffle FNGs: None COUNT: 8 Despite a windy and rainy backdrop, the pax descended upon the Hotbox to pursue all the glory the golden ratio could offer. YHC excitedly dug into the new spreadsheet like a kid on Christmas morning – this fervor was reflected in a hastened cadence for the first half of the workout, which effectively covered all of the day’s activities. Nevertheless, the pax persevered through some extra credit static holds, Mary-ish stuff, and a Voodoo complex EMOM for good measure. Good to reconnect with the broader group after what sounded like a small crew last Saturday. Also, great to see Ickey back out in the gloom.
