19 men got their Thursdays off to a great start at The Judge. This is what we did.
The Thang:
Fast mosey (longish route) to the Crumpled Hanky Track (or what I learned was half of the Blue Loop — short track around the Dojo) for the inaugural running of the Lee 500. At start/finish line, execute:
- 20 Peter Parker Push Ups (#oof)
- 20 Baryshnikovs (10 each leg…#godawful)
- 20 Makhtar N’Diayes (#worsethananticipated)
- 20 flutters (double count…so 20 each leg — #sweetrelief)
- 20 x-fit/hand-release burpees (#meltdown)
After completing the 100 reps, run loop around the track (running counterclockwise). Complete AMRAP until 6:12. Goal was to get at least 5 rounds in (hence, Lee 500).
Run short route back to the parking lot.
COT
Naked Moleskin:
Truly #sucktastic in the Gloom this morning. I was tired after Round 2 — and it didn’t get any easier. I think I was running about a 9:30 (19:30?) mile pace on the last lap. The Raleigh Pax took it like a man this morning though — no complaints, no whining, just gutting it out until the end. Think everybody got in 4 rounds total with a handful making it to the full Lee 500. Our longer entry to the Dojo track — and our initial lap around it before starting — prevented any 600s this morning, but we can correct that next time. Not much #mumblechatter during the Lee 500 (oxygen deprivation will do that to you) but plenty of mock calls for YHC’s banishment from Raleigh (I think they were mock calls). Think the #terrible guarantee was delivered…
Thanks for the keys, Denali. Always a privilege to lead … and it was a special honor to lead The Judge this morning.
