The men came expecting Maximus, but got YHC (disappointment).
We did too many reps and did not achieve our 3-mile minimum (failure).

It happens. Deal with it.

Zipper Deconstructed Burpees

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Run up to old Hardee’s parking lot. 10 SSH

THE THANG:
Zipper. For every road we headed east on, we did 10 squats at the start, 10 merkins when we crossed Springs, and 10 bomb jacks at the end. For the west-bound trip we did burpees when we crossed Springs (1, then 2, then 3, then 4). We were movin’ this morning. 3 pax got in 4+ miles.

Got back to COT in time to make one sprint up Massey.

MARY:
Flutters
American Hammers
We ended just a shade after 6am, and LongDuck wanted a refund of the extra few seconds we went over. The check is in the mail.

Great work done by all. FunHouse, thanks for the opportunity to serve.

The Springs Street Spine

Leave a comment

Four at Minnow Pond.

Pledge and then run to Hardee’s lot where the thang is explained as follows:
Hardee’s lot is base camp. Do 10 burpees here.
Run up Springs st to its end (Summersby/Cone #1) and do 30 pushups
Run all the way back to base camp, 10 burpees
Run up Springs st to Close st (Cone #2) and do 30 pushups
Run all the way back to base camp, 10 burpees
Run up Springs st to Oak st (Cone #3) and do 30 pushups
Run all the way back to base camp, 10 burpees
Run up Springs st to Leroy st (Cone #4) and do 30 pushups
Run all the way back to base camp, 10 burpees

This is as far as we got. A jackrabbit pax would have been instructed to repeat, but start with cone #4 etc.

We all ran back to Veteran’s park, did some stretches and then COT.
Stats: 3.3 miles, 140 push ups, 40 burpees.
