As the faithful Race City Pax emerged out of the darkness, into the gloom, the sun was struggling to unearth itself from its nightly cozy claustrophobic cave. As the light was brought upon the Faithful, she bore down upon these fine men a workout that succinctly separated the men from the boys. We lost two men RIGHT of the bat, more on that later…
Warm-Ups, Run to Field, on the steps down, Lear went down, and hard, blood everywhere, but he was undeterred. SO, the Pax were gathered for an Indian run around field loop to loosen up, then rocks were gathered. A 'second opinion' from Dr. Dolittle was administered upon Lear. Lear was sent to seek medical care, along with Deep End. The show went on.
Grab rock (traveling)-Bear Crawl Ladder: 10 Squats w/ rock at bottom of hill, leave rock, bear crawl up hill behind baseball field, 2 Declines off fence at top. Run down, ratchet 2 down on the squats and 2 up on the declines until Squats are 2 and Declines are 10.
MC (Merkin Circle): IC 10 wide arms/legs, yoga pose R/leg up, 5 diamond, yoga pose L/leg up, 10 Slow Deep Mericans
Four (4) Points of Pain. Pax divided into 4 groups. Pace setters are corner 4, doing 10, 8, 6 burpees. Other three corners are repping AMRAP 1. Curls 2. Skull Crushers, 3. Bent Over Rows while Corner 4 cranks burpees. Three rounds (10, 8, 6). This went long, way too long….due to some SERIOUS lollygagging with the 'tall and lanky' group.
Crack Den: Dips IC 12, 10, 8 interrupted by 2 sets of 10 CDD's IC.
Mary (IC): Freddy Merc's 15, WWII's 20, Low Flutter 30, Mason Twist 15. Recover, recover.
