THE THANG: run to the fitness trailer for a partner, tripple dime of sorts.
Dips on one end, pull up on the other 5 rounds, but 10 exercises: dips and pull ups, meet in the middle and partner hand-slap merkins. I was dogging this. Toe jam and Curd crushed… wow!
Ok, this is where I lazy and really unoriginal. Real time killer of sorts… 5 islands- 1,2,3,4,5 of various exercises. Squats, jump squats, lunges, backwards lunges and probably something else… again, time filler and everyone knew it. Really good second F and where we lost Tag Along, to some possible Dukie in his drawers
However, BS here, 7’s on the street up to the bridge. Burpees + Big Boy sit ups. Crushing the pax and Moth on my heals
Mossy to the bridge and cheer on an unexpectimg runner, who seemed appriciate of our squat presses. Broken up by 50 each time, we did 200 including another spot. This is when Susan Summer and her 80’s bush was discussed!
Mosey back home for some more BS to finish out the day
MARY: yeah, she burns deep
ANNOUNCEMENTS: trail race, memorial ruck
