3 men came to Cobalt this morning to push through a decent workout full of 14 rep counts and tell interesting stories. There was almost a phone theft mid-workout too but we figured it out.

Warm-up 

The usuals – SSH X 14 IC, merkins X 14 OYO, Windmills X 14 IC, merkins X 14 IC

Thang

Run to top of Overlook Cove Dr hill from clubhouse and circle for Burp & Merk: drop to low position of burpee, 1 merkin, drop to low postion of burpee, 2 merkins…….drop to low position of burpee, 10 merkins. Reaffirmed that the 8, 9 and 10 rep parts fo the B&M are still tough.

Run to boat launch gazebo via Tranquility Drive (i.e. take the long way and use the path). 

Gazebo set: 14 X derkins, 14 X step-ups, 14 X dips. 5 times through this set.

Run to clubhouse entrance for beast mode. Run up Mountain Cove Drive (right out of clubhouse) to the top of Breezy Trail Lane (cul de sac there on the left). 6 mailboxes on the way. Stop at each for called exercises. Round 1- 5 merkins, Round 2 – 10 LBCs, Round 3 – 10 CDD's

Run back to clubhouse. Few mins left – AYG merkins until we hit 0615

2.85 miles running and a fair number of reps.

  • 14 started with the SSH's. Q stopped with the 14 count and Surf latched on so we rolled with it.
  • "I learned a new meaning of Unicorn yesterday." "Is it a start up company valued at >$1B?" Nope….something very different.
  • Mileage and reps would have been significantly higher but Surf told some well-timed and extended length stories during the workout. Thanks man….needed some of those breaks.
  • "Where's Grip? He said publicly he'd be back out for more." GRIP?????
  • "Where's Swamp Thing? Temperatures are definitely swampy" SWAMP??????
  • Q left my fanny pack (with phone in it) at the launch of one of the beast sets. We got back about 2-3 mins later and it was gone. Good neighbor had picked it up to report on the Facebook page. Scary moment there for a guy that is unfortunately glued to his phone for work. We tracked him down and got it back.
  • Lots of other good chatter and fellowship this morning. 
  • Lots to be thankful for and many asks on our way out in the COT. Appreciate the opportunity to lead this morning fellas.
