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.

A Tribute to

WARMUP: A quick run up the hill to pay tribute…to the hill.  Then we paid tribute to Cha-Ching with an inspired OYO 11 burpees followed by 33 SSH.  Ran down the hill and to the big parking lot for another inspired 11 and 33.  Then ran to the band parking lot for another 11 and 33.  The meaning behind 11 and 33, don’t remember but Cha-Ching may!
THE THANG: Ran over to the front of the school by the benches and broke out the “alternative” music in tribute to Slash who’s recovering from knee surgery.  (Alternative music wasn’t very alternative so fail on YHC part).  We did the exercises below and then ran a lap around the parking lot after each set.
– 10 burpees, ~30 seconds Al Gore
– 15 diamonds, 30 monkey humpers
– 20 hand release, 50 calf raises
– 25 wide arm, 50 flutters

Clyde in the dales

WARMUP: nope, just counted off. Then I promptly forgot how many we had. Luckily Anchorman remembered we had Repeat and that he peeled off early. Q-fail. Will learn from that.
THE THANG: ran – https://strava.app.link/KeQquGKGmvb
MARY: nope, just a pigeon lunge
ANNOUNCEMENTS: read the newsletter
COT: had to be there, it was more meaningful

First time to Q at Clydesdales or any running AO. Not my forte, but we made it work. Not too many actually made the route I drew up work, but everyone was generous about not letting me know.
