Hmmm, I thought there was 20 but I've only got 19 names…am I missing someone or was my count off?
Blackbeard reached out to me and voluntold me I had the Q at Mighty Jungle on 6/8 and I'm not one to argue with him so I "gladly" accepted. I preblasted my Q as to keep the salty one as happy as one can expect. I have posted at MJ once, maybe twice so I really didn't know the AO but have a few standby workouts that go over well everywhere. The mumblechatter started as soon as I stepped out of my car and continued throughout the workout.
The old standby I used on this wonderfully humid morning was the Nordic Challenge. I got this workout from Zamboni, who got it from the pax in Asheville. I modified by more than 20% so there can't be any accusations of copyright infringement.
Enough of the backstory, here kinda sorta how things went…
- THE Burpee – It's the buy-in for all my workouts
- Warm Up – SSH, Windmill, IST, Stretching
- THE NORDIC CHALLENGE
- 10 OYO – Royal Burpees (This is the burpee as it originally meant to be down, no merkin or jump)
- Run 2 laps around the church (YHC quickly realized running was not the norm at MJ and trying to run 2 laps after every exercise would've resulted in physical harm)
- 10 IC (20) –Monkey Humpers
- Run 1 lap around the parking lot
- 15 IC (30) – Merkins
- Run 1 lap around the parking lot
- 20 IC (40) – Plank Jacks
- Run 1 lap around the parking lot (this time we eliminated a lane)
- 25 IC (50) – Overhead Seal Claps
- Run 1 lap around the parking lot (same route as last time)
- 30 IC (60) – Alternating Lunges
- Run 1 lap around the parking lot (we eliminated another lane)
- 35 IC (70) – Squats
- Run 1 lap around the parking lot (we reversed the direction this time)
- 40 IC (80) – LBC’s
- Run 1 lap around the parking lot (same as the last lap)
- 45 IC (90) – Flutter Kicks
- Run 1 lap around the parking lot (same as the last lap)
- 50 IC (100) – Moroccans
- We ran up to the blocks where Outlaw lead us in a few rounds
- Back to the starting point where Goat lead us in some Mary because I just love his cadence calls.
- Recover, recover
MOLESKIN
- There was a lot of good mumblechatter today especially since I didn't realize that running is kind of off-limits at Mighty Jungle. Should have known since the MQ is Blackbeard
- THE Burpee was acceptable by Outlaw Standards, the Royal Burpee, not at all. I knew I'd have to pay my penance during the COT
- Lot of fun leading guys I don't normally workout with, which I'm sure contributed to the mumblechatter
- This was a bittersweet Q for me today as I'm taking a hiatus from bootcamps to focus on running, doing a few long-distance relays late summer and early fall.
- I'm always humbled to lead such HIM especially when it is outside the borders of the PRoD. I appreciate each and every one of you for all you have done for me.
AYE!
