Runway down

5 at The Hive, what more needs to be said?!?!

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Actually, no, it wasn’t the worst of times at all. YHC showed up to preset some lights, but the gate dividing the FMHS campus was closed for this first time ever. So, there was a quick audible and YHC set up some lights and cones on the hill down to the handicapped parking lot, which most PAX don’t even know exists. But for future reference, that hill sucks.

1 red herring light at the top of the entrance driveway
4 lights along the handicap driveway just out of sight

Warmup – yes, that’s an important part preceding physical activity. Do one, slacker.

Thang:
Bottom of the hill:
Farmers carry up to cone one
2 swings
Farmers carry up to cone two
2 swings
2 snatches
Farmers carry up to cone three
2 swings
2 snatches
2 racked reverse lunges
Farmers carry up to cone four
2 swings
2 snatches
2 racked revers lunges
2 squat thrusters one arm
Farmers carry up to cone four
2 swings
2 snatches
2 racked revers lunges
2 squat thrusters one arm
Farmers carry up to top
2 swings
2 snatches
2 racked revers lunges
2 squat thruster one arm
2 manmakers

Then we did the full sequence
2 swings
2 snatches
2 racked revers lunges
2 squat thruster one arm
2 manmakers
Every time, but bear crawling down and then back up the hill.
Cone 1 – full sequence
Cone 2 – full sequence
etc.

Went to the red herring cone just for fun and did 20 Single Leg Deadlifts. Then COT and some Mary. I’ve already written too much and nobody will read this BUT………

NMM: nobody would have known that I had to audible. Just carry on with your plan, and act like you meant it.
