An ideal number (19) of PAX for the Flood Zone AO showed up ready to punch their card, take their DRP, and end their week/month right. Our path was lit by a Blue Moon, i.e. the second full Moon in a month with two full Moons. So, if you’ve said ‘once in a blue moon’ after a statement in the past, you may have seen it come true in Jul/2015. YHC hadn’t Q’d in a couple of months so I was eager to take on Pergo’s call at one of my favorite AOs, well known among the PAX for stairs and ramps galore. I chose to go off campus today to mix it up a bit and lucky for the PAX, I needed to get in a few extra miles for the weekly BRR base build. Let’s get after it.
EC: 4 joiners for a wide loop around the Mall and check up @ Macy’s for:
-12X Derkins, 15X Dips, 15X Irkins -Repeato
-Run to ramp and Bear Crawl up to top, 12X Burpees OYO
-Jog over to Fancy Restaurant and Bear Crawl down ramp, plank
-Run back to start to pick up the rest of the PAX
No FNGs, so quick disclaimer provided -follow me.
Main Thang:
-Run to McD’s overflow parking lot and COP for Warm Up:
- 20X SSH, 15X Windmill, 20X IWs, 12 Burpees OYO
-Run to rock pile beneath Glenwood for rock work:
- 15X Rocket Thrusters, 15X Rock Curls, 15X Tricep Extensions, 15X Bent Row -Repeato
-Drop your rock and run to base of 16 Wheeler Hill (@ Solas Condos):
- Jacobs Ladder (stopped @ 5 b/c time was getting ruined and that hill is brutal)
-Run back down Blue Ridge to base of Belk’s ramp with a stop to plank/squat hold for PAX
- Bear Crawl up ramp, plank hold to gather, and head to start area
1 minute left for Mary -50X Merican Hammers
Done! COT
Moleskin:
-Great work by the PAX this morning who all fought through the constant motion, kept moving, and persevered. 16 Wheeler Hill continues to humble -you’re not done just when you think you are, it keeps going. Noriega requested a Fireman’s carry back to Crabtree, but there were no takers -I should’ve offered more incentive for buy in, maybe next time.
-Glad to see some new(ish) folks at FZ for the first time -Stringbean, Brunswick Stew, Noriega -sound off if it was yours too. This is a great AO and can be seen once or twice a week with Ethanol on Wednesdays -aLOT to do at this joint.
-All was quiet on the Announcement front -dog days of summer I guess.
-Bigglesworth led us out strong.
Always and pleasure and an honor,
T&G
