455 – 4 PAX (Birdcage, Kielbasa, Skate or Die, YHC) took a dark 2 mile pre-run stroll to get in an extra warm-up leading into the main event.

11 men, most of which suited up in tights for the occasion came to earn their Varsity letter in a regiment that YHC appropriately named “The Hateful 8.”

Warm-up

• Mosey loop around the parking lot mixing in Butt Kickers, High Knees, Toy Soldiers and Lunge Walks

The Thang-a-lang

The Hateful 8 Tabata Rounds (20 sec on/10sec recovery)

It was incredible to see how excited everyone was with Burpees on the list twice…

• Burpees
• Bombjacks
• Plyo Merkins
• Ab Thrusters
• Spartan Merkins
• Flutter
• Broad Jumps
• Burpees

Take a recovery aka 6:30 mile pace lap (Bird cage) around the parking lot

Repeato 4x

Partner Sprint Session

• P1 Sprint to 1st island, recover back to P2 (Freddie Mercury) – Flapjack
• P1 Sprint to 2nd island, recover back to P2 (6inch Plank) – Flapjack

Mosey back to COT for a quick stretch/Urban dictionary session.

Moleskin

• Solid group of men this morning, many pushing the pace on the tabata and others taking the reigns on the recovery loops.
• T-claps to Bird cage for ruining the recover runs by setting a jack rabbit pace of 630; the fella can move. Honestly, great work on motivating YHC and the other PAX to  pick it up and remember that we don’t wake up at 4 something AM every morning to go half speed
• In contrary to popular belief, more hair = more aerodynamic as Sasquatch was the blazer on sprints and creator of another desirable FNG nickname/post workout stretch “Sacksquatch”
• Urban Dictionary lesson brought to you by Kielbasa who also came up with the next FNG name “weasel shaker” which apparently is the equivalent to “horse beater” in polish, “corn husker” and “clown puncher”. I highly recommend not YOUTUBEing any of those words/phrases or looking up the word Merkin in google images…
• Skate or Die, thanks for the invite. Always a pleasure to Q VARSITY

Maltz Challenge next week which looks incredibly brutal…SHOW UP!

Over & Out – General
