I haven't Q'd a workout in many moons. I had some surgery in December that really set me back. Travel, vacations, and other BS excuses kept me from leading a workout in quite some time since my recovery. But today, I got a chance to jump back in. Today, I was reminded that I still know how to count, Man Hands still offends most people that breathe oxygen, Chief is still terribly slow at burpees, and Crack still is adorable. From what I remember, it went like this:
MTN Climber x15 (Man Hands, mind blown)
Run around the building
IST x15
Run around the building
Merican x10
Run around the building
Slow Deep Squat x15
Run around the building
Approach the brick pile.
Partner up, size doesn't matter. One of the partners grabs two bricks. Rule = the bricks do not touch the ground until the end of the workout. Share your brother's burden.
We basically ran to various parking spaces and at each stop each team had to complete a set of exercises.
1st stop, 20 burpees. Split them up however you want. Other partner does curls.
2nd stop. 40 dips. Other partner does curls.
3rd stop. 40 mericans. Other partner does curls.
4th stop. Quadraphilia up Jet's hill. 40 jump squats. Other partner does curls.
5th stop. Rules broken. Line up the bricks. Balls to the wall. Followed bypreacher's chair with brick presses. (Cupcake………….um…….doesn't approve….lets leave it at that).
6th stop. Curls and burpees again (a crowd favorite)
On our way back to Raceway Drive we saw a sea of Crossfit folks running at various paces after their coach. Towards the end of the Crossfit pack a female runner of an advanced age is approached by our resident weirdo (Man Hands). Only Man Hands doesn't approach with a friendly wave, instead with his arms out like a predator as he tries to hug the complete stratnger. In the dark. At 6am. With 11 other guys standing behind him. That doesn't come off as a slight bit terrifying to the woman that is 30 years his elder and weighs 200 lbs less. To our surprise, she doesn't blow her rape whistle. Instead, she gave him a big hug and he ran with her for a while.
Mosey to the brick pile. Line up. Belly sprints for group one while group two does curls. Switch. There were complaints that I was trying to kill some time so we repeated that again as a penalty. Quit bitc*ing.
Return the bricks and run to the flag for our finishing move:
SSH x 25
1. I love Race City. I really do. So much that I shamed out Nanatan into leaving our private Slack channel that someone invited him to.
2. Crack's party this Saturday. Don't miss out. Check the sign up Genius.
3. Golf Tournament May 2. $100/ per man. I need two more to join me. Good cause.
4. Thank you for letting me lead today.
