SnS has been putting up some good numbers lately, and a lovely morning brought the PAX out despite their better judgment. Good thing Flip Flop (essless) got his warm-up in early.

Warm-up

  • Mosey to community center parking lot, toward the back.
  • SSH x25, GM x10, windmill x10 IC.
  • Merikin x10 OYO. Hold it. MC x 15 IC.
  • FacePlantJacks x10 IC. Like a plank jack but your arms go out to form an X and back to plank on each rep.

Thang 1

  • Partner up, similar speed. The mission is: Doracide.
  • P1 starts to knock out 100 Merikins, 200 LBC, 300 squat.
  • P2 does a 3-stop suicide. Run to first light pole/island, do 1 burpee, come back. 2nd island, 2 burpees, 3rd island, 3 burpees. Flapjack.
  • Plank-o-rama when done

Thang 2

  • Recover, mosey down to spillway kiosk.
  • Find your partner again. P1 starts a jog up the hill, all the way around the big spillway clearing, counterclockwise.
  • P2 stays, does 10 merikins, then sprints to catch P1. Tag, flapjack.
  • One round of this was enough.. round 2 was going to involve burpees. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
  • As a consolation to those disappointed by cutting things short, partner carry up the hill. Jog down, flapjack. That’s good BRR training, right?
  • Mosey back, Billy Run when appropriate.

Mary

  • Freddie Merc x30 IC.
  • American Hammer x41 IC. (Belated birthday Q for those who “missed out” on the first one)
  • Boat/canoe to wrap us up.

COT

  • Stair climb. Labor Day workout and/or 5k/10k.
  • Prayers for Grease Monkey’s M. Unspokens as well I’m sure. Pleasure to lead and learn as always.

NMS

Okay so there’s no such thing as a “calve”. It sounds better than it types. Burt is more about the oral tradition.

I would’ve thought “similar speed” also covered size. Like my partner Pergo says, “size don’t matter ‘cuz suck it up.”

It was astutely pointed out that ordering partner carries might give ruck activities a bad reputation. I swear, it’s not 12 hours of partner carries. There’s also.. um.. 120lb coupons.. and.. log carries with time hacks and.. high-rep PT.. and..  Ok nevermind, it’s partner carries.

Actually, the folks that did The Bull did more partner carries than my last GR event. Did you do The Bull?
