AO: Pony Express
Workout Date: 05/20/21
Maybe it’s just me, but Pony Express is a tough workout. Hard running in quarter mile bursts is something I don’t look forward to. Every time I’d think about my pending Q, it was “Ugh.” Those ten pain stations are welcome respites.
Warm Up:
Give the mission statement, check for FNGs, give the disclaimer, and warm up:
Side Straddle Hop x20 In Cadence (IC)
Good Mornings x10 IC
Monkey Humpers x10 IC
Downward dog and isolated calf stretches
Main Event
1) Mosey to the greenway and RUN! The format is simple, run hard for a quarter mile and wait for the six. Do 2-3 exercises and keep going. The route is 2.5 miles (1.25 out, 1.25 back) so that’s 10 segments. YHC called a variety of exercises with a variety of reps (x10, x15, x20). In no particular order, with some repeats: Merkins, Diamond Merkins, Hand Release Merkins, Carolina Dry Docks, LBCs, Freddy Mercurys, Flutter Kicks, Squats (too many squats), Captain Thor (WW1+American Hammer, Jack Webb style)
Mary:
None.
COT:
10 PAX
Announcements: JoCoGa Iliad 5/22, Raleigh’s Memorial Day Convergence 0530 at Garner Station

Naked Moleskin:
It was fun to be on the other side of the Ricochet fly by this morning. Great work, guys!
T-claps to Money Hose for leading the charge, which meant I didn’t have to think too hard about when to stop
T-claps to Loverboy, who FNG’d only two days ago (at the Forge, I think). Pony Express for your third post ever is impressive, Where will he go tomorrow? Tahoe?
T-claps to Fudd for picking up the six
YHC heard rumors at Coffeeteria that Pony Express might become the new Thursday leg of the Five Points Triple
This was my forty-sixth #F3Q21 #2021Challenge Q. Next Q is Friday (tomorrow) at Danger Zone in Carpex.
