This is the workout that happened at slow burn today

WARMUP: ssh, hb walkers, imp walkers, Abe vigotas, plank time, Peter Parkers
THE THANG: the road along the storefronts has 4 crosswalks starting at one end, we ran suicides, with the crosswalks serving as successive end points. Each time we hit one of those end points, we did merkins and mountain climbers, and each time we returned to start we did big bois and flutters

Rep count for each exercise was 5 the first time through, then 10, then 15 and we got part way into 20s when time expired.

I often wonder what the people sitting at the Tesla charging station think while they’re sitting there adjacent to our tom foolery. And if any of them haven’t returned because of us. In all honesty, being held captive to whatever madness is going on around you during your charging is 1% in the con column of any of my EV buying decisions. But I digress

Run It Like You Stole It… or Forget the Route

Minute Man rolled in at 6:02 — just early enough to technically make the “6ish” window.

?‍♂️ Road Warriors:
• Fogerty, Bass-o-Matic, and YHC tackled Sam Neely to Harvest Point and back — locked in a crisp 10K (6.2 miles) before most people even hit snooze.
• Peach Stand took the scenic route: Sutton, Baxter, Starbucks fly-by. 4.25 miles and the quote of the morning: “6 miles wasn’t in the forecast.”
• Tiller and Minute Man completely ignored the Harvest Point turn like it never existed.
• Tiller hit the Dam and flipped it at 8 miles.
• Minute Man nearly made it to his own driveway before realizing we weren’t behind him — turned back at Dam Rd for 9 miles, crushed That Hill™ like it was flat. Savage move.

? Trail Gang:
• Vuvuzela and Roll Off delivered a trail-running masterclass:
• Vuvuzela lost a shoe mid-run, went full archaeologist to dig it out, and still gutted out 9.5 miles.
• Roll Off sprinted those same 9.5 miles like he was racing the time clock — controlled chaos at its finest.
• Sasquatch went full beast mode: prerun from home to Lake Haigler, ran the workout, then ran home. 10.66 miles — just showing off at this point.
• Everest and Cobra Kai casually dropped 9 miles like it was a warm-up jog.

? Ruck Ops:
• Wegmans did his thing — 3.6 Kingsley loop miles with weight on his back and grit in his soul.

? Shoes were lost. Hills were tamed. Coffee was earned.
?See you next week — no map needed (but maybe bring a phone just in case).

One to Ten

WARMUP: Yea, it’s a good thing. We did that.
THE THANG: String of Pearls…classic. Mosey and stop occasionally for:

– Merkins
– Squats
– Carolina Dry Docks
– Lunges (2 is 1)
– Dips
– Monkey Humpers
– LBCs
– Mountain Climbers (2 is 1)
– Plank Jacks
– Flutters (in cadence)

Started with 1 rep or each, which Bonsai believes was barely worth coming down from the mountain for. And added a rep each time we stopped. We got to 10

MARY: Was mostly build in, but we did some hip flexibility in the last few minutes.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 7/3 service date at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040A45A4A929A4F49-56341795-bethel#/ could use some signup help and some hands the day of. If you’re in town on 7/3, make an effort to help serve.

COT: What are you moderating that is helpful to you? What are you moderating that is unhelpful? What SHOULD you be moderating more?
