As the sunset on the 199th day of the year, I thought to myself what can we do to please the FKT gods tomorrow morning. Given the fact it was to be the 200th turn of the earth this year, what better way to get after it than doing 200 Burpee’s.
One might say this could be the ultimate Crocs work out. Good thing Crocs asked if we were doing Burpee‘s the night before. I should’ve lied, but saying “no” and then doing 200 Burpee‘s may have created aggression and conflict.
An amazing part of the morning happened early. More people showed up for the core standard than the original 510 standard. It must be a thing.
Heely rolled up in a street legal golf cart. At first I thought it was Auto as both his car and Heely’s golf cart look very similar. But alas, no Squishmellow to be found this morning. SlingShot also rolled in. Us 3 ran the 5 AM standard and then were joined by swingstate for the core standard.
Frodo, defiantly, ran a sad clown OG 510 standard.
At 5:29 we took off, Kosar of course was still getting a shoes tied and started at 5:30.
The Thang:
- run to Devonshire do 20 Burpee’s
- Run to the bridge do 20 Burpee’s
- Run to the bottom of Knox Hill do 20 Burpee’s
- Run up Knox Hill do 20 Burpee’s
- Run to the bottom of Knox Hill do 30 burpee‘s
- Run to the bridge do you 30 Burpee‘s
- Run up the hell do 30 Burpee’s
- Run back to the AO do you 30 Burpee’s
Recover recover.
Jobe’s thoughts:
- Heely is fast. He ran the standard leisurely chatting somewhere around 730 a mile. This was fatiguing to me. He then finished the workout so quickly that he drove by us honking his golf carts horn. Once again I thought it could be Auto finally waking up.
- Swingstate and Heely Did two trips up Knox Hill. Once again lapping us. Popcorn and I discussed rolling swingstate's ankle just to slow him down. The problem is we would have to catch him to do that.
- Smokey and Scrapy were machines. Both got back to the AO And finished is their 200 Burpee’s first.
- HSB and AMPM loved it. Are regulars. And will continue to be regulars.
- Swamp Fox is big, strong, fast, sexy. Cherry bomb is jealous. That’s probably why he didn’t show
- SlingShot looked me in the eyes and told me he felt like throwing up right when I felt like throwing up. It would’ve been romantic to throw up together. Luckily we didn’t.
- It’s good seeing Kozar out there. He looked half dead as we began name-o-Rama. There’s not a lot better things to see as a Q than Kosar laying in a puddle of his own sweat at the end of a work out.
- I think Don Ho was absent because he doesn’t like Burpee‘s.
- Popcorn was so very happy that he did not know what the workout was going to be. He said today was supposed to be a rest day. Ignorance is bliss. And what is a rest day? Never heard of it.
- Every time I saw Hoody‘s face this morning, he look like he was pissed at me. He probably was.
- I’m already sore.
LFG
