8 for the monthly 1stThursdayChallenge this morning. You know the drill…
3 exercises, reps starting at 21 then counting down by 3 till done. Lap between each set of all 3 exercises. Total of 84 reps of each, and close to 2.25 miles.
8-Count Burners, Merkins, then Dying Cockroaches, then the lap. Then repeato but 3 reps less than the last set.
Finish in time for MWAR (Mary With A Rope). All pax get a turn on the rope, each pax takes a turn at calling an exercise and cadence.
Moleskine:
The music was AWESOME. Much better than November! You have to show to know (#s2k)
Thanks to The Force, Master Q, for staging his Big Black Mamba at the tennis court the night before. Luckily it was too cold for the looters and it was there, nice and safe in the box this morning.
We skipped the warm-up lap but did a lap after the set of 3x reps, my watch says 2.20, so I think that was enough. Then again, it is just a Fitbit and prone to failure.
Speaking of failing, it was so cold, my iPhone shut down right after saying "recover, recover", which was good timing anyway.
Nice job by cotters Ruffles all day. Putting in some effort and kicking it.
Everyone took turns calling cadence for a set except for Toxic, who did enough cadence coaching to suffice for his missing a "turn". Lots of great mumble chatter to keep our mind off of the cold. I really love working out at the Wilderness. Best AO in LKN!
Storm Chaser could possibly have the worst cadence of any military member I've ever seen (Just Kidding… no seriously). Then again, he is from the Chair Force. We have high hopes for his VQ coming soon! It can only get better!
Good luck to Jorel and Ultraman in the Huntersville Half tomorrow. Nice job on there "taper" and coming out this morning. I'll be handing out frozen water, so see you there.
Travolta and Snake Eyes were out there getting it done! They make it look easy. Thanks to Snake Eyes from bringing out the Shoulder Touch Merkins at MWAR! Skipping that would be like Christmas without presents!
Thanks to the Force for giving me the chance to lead. Hope he gets well and kicks a$$ at the Half tomorrow!
Till next time, in the Gloom.
Aye, TG
