Rock Pile Shimmy

Date: 2025-05-09 AO: the-brave Q: Hippie PAX: midriff, frasier, Eleanor, fire_hazard, soft_pretzel, teddyf3 FNGs: None COUNT: 7 WARMUP: Mtn Climbers and 2 sets of Potato pickers; wingman you would have loved the warm up, we missed you today.
THE THANG: to the murderhorn for the rock pile. 3 set of 10 for three exercises: goblet squat, overhead press; weighted flutters
Then to St Matthews for triple nickel on the Drag Strip part of the parking lot. Carolina Dry Docks and Sister Mary Catherine on the ends
Needed to skip over St Matthews rock pile to get back in time so we returned to Murder Horn rock pile for the same exercises
Added more flutters than planned to make sure we could hit multiple kirby spreadsheet items.
Shout outs: teddyf3 for finishing the run strong. Eleanor for 2 weeks in a row; glad you’re back. midriff brought the energy as always and no matter what. frasier who never leaves a man behind. fire_hazard for the kind reminder that “in cadence” does not equal “on my down”. And soft_pretzel for best performance up the Murder Horn.
MARY: plank, flutters ANNOUNCEMENTS: COT: midriff thankful for the PAX. Pepsi showed up late but we were grateful for his appearance.
