Then mosey not too far from COT for….
THE THANG:
Ladder of Deconstructed Burpees
A loop of .25 mile was set up, the same one we used as a warmup.
Do the exercises, then run the loop. The idea was in each round, you do an exercise that is part of the standard burpee.

Ascending ladder (run a lap between each round)

Round 2: 2 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 plank w leg crunch/extensions
Round 3: 3 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 plank w leg crunch/extensions + 10 merkins
Round 4: 4 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 plank w leg crunch/extensions + 10 merkins + 10 jump squats w OH clap
Descending the ladder (run a lap between each round)
>> Take off 1 burpee and 1 exercise
Round 5: 3 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 plank w leg crunch/extensions + 10 merkins
Round 6: 2 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 plank w leg crunch/extensions
Round 7: 1 burpee + 10 hand-touch squats
>> Rinse and repeat

Everyone got 2 full completions of this, and completed another full ascension. Some started on another descension and completed that too. Overall everyone, except me, got at least 3 miles. Good push by everyone.
MARY: No time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Mentioned some of the things in the newsletter. Read it. Get involved.

The NOT SO Sweaty Barry

Leave a comment

If I missed your name, feel free to edit it in….

The weather did not agree with us, but I hope everyone had a nice evening at The Barry (aka The Sweaty Barry). I’m really not sure how a person could not have a good time with Milwaukee’s Beast and PBR being served.

Winner (repeat), Harry Carry … new traveling trophy awarded

Ruck winner (repeat), 3D … we’ll rustle up an award for the ruck winner next year

Thanks to the volunteers.

Thanks to the Rock Hill participants.

Thanks to Twister for gracing us with his presence.

Looks like we made it,

Barry Manilow

Bad Decisions on Gardenia

Leave a comment

Been a while since Q’ing and not in my best shape but felt like we all needed a kick in the teeth and had some bad ideas…

WARMUP: Sasquatch and YHC ran about 2.5 mile pre-run down Dave Gibson, past school, and up around Walmart.

THE THANG:
Head towards Gardenia hill in Baxter ~1.5miles…

Monkey humpers on 160 until a couple cars passed… maybe 20 IC

Every quarter mile stop for IC exercises that stacked….
merkins then add LBCs then add LSS then add SSH

At bottom of Gardenia come up with a lot of bad ideas….

all you got to the top then struggle through some IC SSH for the 6

Mosey to bottom

Nur back up to first light pole then IC SSH for 6

Bear crawl to next light pole then IC MNC for 6

All you got to the top then IC SSH for the 6

Return to COT with stops every quarter mile for stacked IC exercise

SSH then add LSS then add LBCs then add Merkins

MARY: IC IWs, IC Freddie’s, IC AHs

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Schweaty Barry 7PM July 22

COT: Yup

Bad things happen all the time – keep a positive attitude always and those around you will be better off

NMM
When we’re young, our heroes wear capes. As we age, our new heroes wear flaws, scars, and wisdom. They quietly show up, do the work, and expect no applause. Growing up isn’t about losing heroes, it’s about finding real ones.

You men are my heroes. You each have special gifts that I admire. You may not see it, but we do. Spending time in the Gloom with you men makes me better. Thank you.

IJ
