PAX:Chaka Khan, Bad Moon, Blue Dog, Reluctant Yankee, Backdraft, (FNG) Atticus, Tito, Hawgcycle

Pre Thang – The #cantores were wrong again, just like chicken little.  Seven PAX left the #shovelflag at 05:30 in cool and cloudy conditions, no rain. We picked up Tito and Hawgcycle during the qtr. mile warm up for a total of nine.

The Thang – Mosey out and around to TU front lawn for warm up w/ BMJ’s x 10 OYO (Burp ‘n Merk Jumps are a new twist on a couple of old favorites: the Burp ‘n Merk and the Burpee Broad Jump.) Fun!

Mosey to Wolfpack Mtn. and take the #escalator to the top.  Stop at each level and do the required pre-marked exercise:

Lunge to top of first incline

Level 2 = 10 Burpees

Level 3 = 20 Plank Jacks

Level 4 = 30 Merkins

Level 5 = 40 Squats

Level 6 = 50 SSH

Level 7 = 60 LBC  —  Plank up

Mosey to the bottom stopping at each station for another round and finish w/ 60 LBC

Quick Mosey to Wolfpack Hill and up the stairs to the top for a few Minutes of Mary — Dolly x 20, Crunchy Frog x 10, Leg Raise x 20 all in cadence.

Begin to run down the ramps, then switch to stairs and make a mad dash back to the #shovelflag when YHC realizes we have 2 minutes left… #cobains. Got carried away and no time for a dipfest.

TClaps to FNG Atticus, who was on IR for two months and posted to F3 for his first workout back. Nice work!

TClaps to Tito for a great shout out this morning.  Good stuff!

TClaps to Reluctant Yankee for putting together the Christmas workout/party on Monday.  Those who were there enjoyed the 2nd F!

If anyone would like to join me for “The Battle of New Orleans”, I’ll be starting out at Wolfpack Mtn. AO around 06:00 that morning and running a 12 mile warmup out to the lakefront starting line, then running the race.  This is a great point to point race that ends at Jackson Square.  The after party always has good snacks: jambalaya, red beans and rice, king cake and beer.

Good Times!
