WARMUP: I forgot to write backblast so this is not the whole truth….
THE THANG: run to bank and do SSH until 6, run to bottom of hill and do IW till 6, run to basketball nets and do something (forget) till 6. This I know is true: Mossy to first light pole. 15 LBCs then run up the hill to the 9th light pole and do 15 LBCs and come back. Then run to 8th pole and 15 LBCs and come back. Continue this by reducing a light pole. The cheetahs got to about 4 light poles the turtles I think 6. All in all about 4 miles total. It SUCKED

7-17-2023 Simple

Leave a comment

All veterans so quick disclaimer, run to back for 7 HR merkins, 17 morracan night clubs, and 23 SSHs. I decided last night to just keep it simple and use the date. Run to gravel lot, 7 squats, 17 overhead claps, and 23 seal jacks. Run to Toastery, 7 HR merkins, 17 MNCs, and 23 SSHs. Run to bank lot in front of Walmart.

I wanted to keep everyone somewhat together before turning loose the speedsters (Tesla, Fishy). Keeping with the date, did 7 bombjacks in bank lot, run down to traffic circle, 7 merkins, back up to bank lot. Repeat with 17, 20, and 23 reps. Pick up the 6 since time was almost up. Make our way back to COT with the same stops on the way back.

Pretty hot out in the gloom right now but I appreciate all the guys coming out and pushing it this morning. Thanks Badlands for the opportunity!

Ran to back of the school and did an Indian run with a KB back to cot with stop along the way for merkins and SSH. Circled parking lot for remainder of workout doing more merkins and SSH. Badlands was fastest dude to get to the farthest point so he got some delicious beer from Amor Artis. It was hot and so am I.

Gardenia The Valuables

Leave a comment

Ran to Gardenia

Stopped along the way for merkins/squats to keep folks together

Hit Savona Trace to keep it real

At Gardenia did 5 HR merkins
Ran the Gardenia cul-du-sac: 6 burpees
Ran to the top of Gardenia: 1 bomb jack
Rinse and repeat: 5 burpees/2 bomb jacks
(Still 5 HR merkins in the middle)

Barely had time to make it back. Some may say YHC didn’t make it back by 0600, others may say that we were way early on Central time.
