I Think We Where On A Trail

WARMUP: Was Done
THE THANG: Olaf asked me to Q several weeks ago and forgot all about it. Had he not texted me the night before I would not have shown. 0515 rolled around and we had 3 pax plus me. First time ever meeting Butter Fat, what a cool awesome dude. And he wore some Altra Lone Peaks so he was in the cool kid club already! We grabbed our rucks and sandbag and I took the boys to a trail or at least tried to find it, behind Earthfare that our humble Olaf is in process of making. I think we found parts of it. We made our way down Dave Gibson Blvd. to a trail that I’ve never been on before (Shocking I know). All in all we got around 2.5 miles while passing the sandbag back and forth throughout. Olaf underwent hand surgery so he rolled in at the end much to our surprise.

Working to 38 (or 19) at Pantheon

WARMUP: We ran around the big loop with the occasional plank at the corners to bring the group back together. After the lap, as a group, 38 SSH I/C, Merkins 19 I/C, Flutters 38 I/C, Squats 19 I/C.
Then, run the loop again.
THE THANG: With cones set up 76yds apart and cones at the mid-point (38yds), grab a partner. As a rehash of J-WOW’s expertise from the Thanksgiving Convergence, we did the Partner Push from one end to the mid-point (38yds). Then your partner would push on the return. Complete this 5 times.
Now, get on the opposite end from your partner, 76yds apart. Bear crawl to the middle, 5 partner merkins, run back to your end, 19 Mountain Climbers I/C. Then repeat.
Now, get into 2 lines, facing your partner.
19 Carolina Dry Docks I/C
19 Diamond Merkins I/C
19 American Hammers I/C
19 Squats I/C
19 Calf Raises I/C
On the curb, 19 Mike Tysons I/C
38 American Hammers I/C
MARY: See above
ANNOUNCEMENTS: After nearly 3 years as our Pantheon Site Q, 38 Special has graced me with the Shovel Flag of this special site. To say I am excited is an understatement and there are more good things in store for this AO on the West side of our mill town. I’ll be recruiting past Site Q’s to join me in taking a flag; it’s time.

COT: You had to be there but I will say this, be emotionally present, not just physically present.
Until next time,
Maximus
