(insert "guy tapping his head meme" re: Backblast title)
After last week's Q fail at Titan, we tried to keep it simple today. Here's what transpired:
0500: Major Tom and YHC set out on a ~2.4 mile standard which was mostly a straight line, sticking to one road. We found our way back and picked up Jaws along the way in the gloom.
0530: We started precisely at 0530 according to Snake Eyes' watch. We did:
WARMORAMA:
Mosey half way around Hopewell High School, mixing in high knees, butt kickers, Quadraphilia, and long striders.
Circle up and give disclaimer.
- SSH x 15 IC
- Soybean farmers x 15 IC
- Imperial Storm Troopers x 15 IC
- Slow Deep Squats x 15 IC
The stay-on-the-AO-thing:
Grab a traveling rock for:
- Zamporini carry until somone could no longer (usually YHC), about 70 yards?
- Front shoulder press x 10 IC, put down rock
- Run around the school, back to rock
- Carry rock in flexed skull crusher position, to the steps behind the school
- Dips x 12 IC, put down rock
- Run around the school, back to rock
- Carry rock in flexed bicep curl position, about another 70 yards perhaps
- Full curls x 10 IC, put down rock
- Run around the school, back to rock. Due to time constraints we started to carry the rock back, via combinations of all the holds mentioned above + forearm carry against hip
- Return rocks and mosey to the front of the school for Mary.
Mary:
- Low Flutters x 25 IC
- 1 min elbow plank
- Calf and some other stretches
Recover, recover. We covered exactly 3 miles according to my Garmin.
Moleskin:
- Strong work by all. Thanks for coming out despite YHC's Q fail last week!
- Jaws, Snake Eyes, and their BRR team are planning a Tuesday evening run for which all are welcome. Look for a #PB Tweet.
- Thank you Major Tom for joining YHC on the Standard. Despite the "easy" route, there was still, incredibly, one road we weren't sure about. Certain that if solo, I would have chosen wrong.
- Thank you Tantrum for the opportunity to lead. Hope you are having a good vacation.
