Some men claim their bravado by comparing themselves to lions, stallions, wolves, even mythical creatures they never see like board members or a Gepetto….but NOT the men of Racecity – nay, their kindered spirit is derived from their bretheren – the Koala. This morning at The Intimidator they embraced that shared genome and declared a desolate patch of asphalt as their Eucalyptic AO.
The men marched off from their starting point after waiting on a tardy-toother-mover – their KB's donned for battle. YHC brought a KB and his trusty ruck…..the pax squealed like a gaggle of teen girls, "Why both Cupcake?"
Warm up
We did a variety of that stuff like SSH's, some windmills a handful of mericans until YHC declared "KOALA!" leading the boys off to a patch of trees and explaining the "Koala" (wrap your arms and legs around a tree and hang there). A chorus of mumble-griping erupted – "My ankles hurt", "I need more girth", "Is this consensual"…their first attempt….they meant well.
The Thang
YHC had the boys grab their KB's to march off to the nearby parking lot where the challenge became clear. An abandoned wheelbarrow was waiting for them in the barren parking lot….the boys loaded up all their KB's and ruck into the wheelbarrow….one man would run the wheelbarrow up the sloped parking lot, around a light pole and back while the rest of the pax AMRAP'ed and exercise – then another man would captain the wheelbarrow…
– Mericans
– LBC's
– Squats
– Dips
– Burpees
Carolina Drydocks
and some repeato
Interspersed the men made two more trips to the Koala forest to hone their tree mounting skills. By their third attempt they achieved perfection – Al Gore would have considered it porn.
We then added suicides across parking spots with ascending mericans (up to 10)
We did the beloved Flip-Flop (lay in a parking spot and do 5 LBC's, roll to next spot and do 5 mericans….up to 25)
We finished with some Mary and one round of squat/curl/presses because oddly enough for a KB workout we never officially used them.
Moleskin
Our beloved boys-in-blue, Mooresville's finest showed up – one car, one paddywagon – fortunately this time it wasn't us.
Great workout but the contnued commradierie is unsurpassed. We were missing a few regulars today so we will be sure to recycle this workout. Prayers for all the men who couldn't be there or are daling with challenges whether their own or their family and loved ones. The Intimidator rolls right into The Armour 3rd F at Panera – awesome morning! If you haven't tried it you're missing out!
