The night before:

Rain in the forecast…

Site Q called in sick…

There is a distinct possibility I could be running this thing solo in the morning. What am I going to do if no one shows? Execute.

I roll up at 6:05 to an empty parking lot. 6:10 – no cars, 6:15 – no cars. We’re doing this.

Warmup:

20 SSH… OYO

10 Merkins… OYO

Mosey to the hill on Hubert Graham Way for 2 hill repeats. Not a sprint, but not slow either.

4 corners:

corner 1:

20 scapular merkins… OYO

20 shoulder taps… OYO

20 hello dollies… OYO

20 CDDs… OYO

corner 2:

20 diamond merkins… OYO

20 bomb jacks… OYO

20 Big boy sit-ups… OYO 

The weinke called for leapfrogs, but since no one showed up, I just did a couple of broad jumps… OYO

corner 3:

20 wide grip merkins… OYO

20 Freddie Mercuries… OYO

20 jumping lunges… OYO

Again the weinke called for there to be other PAX, but the weinke was disappointed. We were to do 20 buddy pulls (alternating one man standing one man on the ground) to get some pulling work in. So instead, I pulled myself up and continued to corner 4.

corner 4:

20 burpees… OYO

Side note: I noticed a distinct lack of complaining during today’s workout.

Modes of transportation were to be crowdsourced from the PAX, as that is usually good fun. For the short legs of the corners, I opted for some bear crawls and crab walks. For the longer legs, I did big skips and the sideways juke things (I can’t remember their name). After the first round, I just reverted to running between the corners.

Made it 3 full rounds finishing the last burpee right at 6AM, then hit COT for name-o-rama, no announcements, a prayer for tougher men, and drove home with the satisfaction that I continued accelerating. Good fun was had by all.
