Pre-Thang: Beautiful weather (Clear and 50 degrees) and a small PAX. 4 Men trying to #getbetter.
Thang: Started at 7 and went for a 1/2 mile mosey to start things off
On the way through the breeze way – YHC tripped on a sprinker and did a face plant with an added Ninja Roll. Smarta@$ Hawg requested clarification to see if they all needed to do the shoulder roll. What a punk.
First COP by Tad Gormley. SSH x 20, Mountain Climbers x 25, Low Slow Squats x 25, Merkins x 20.
Then we moseyed to the Christian Bros football field for some Burpee Suicides.
Run to the 50 5 burpees, Back to Goaline 5 burpees, 40 for 5 burpees, etc. for a total of 50 burpees. Chardonnay’s visit to the site where he earned his F3 name on Wednesday made me think of the first time I wanted to splash some merlot. That was OBT’s exercise that almost got me.
Tclaps to Hawgcycle who is quickly becoming a burpee champion. The rest of the PAX tried but Hawg easily lapped us
After burpees a quick mosey to the bleachers for rowing pulls x 10.
Then another 1/2 mile mosey towards the Red Hot Chili Pepper. We stopped for a COP mid-way.
Peter Parkers x 25, LBC x 25, Donkey Kick planks x 25 ic, Penguins x 25
*some ragged counting by YHC
Mosey to the RHCP / Under the Bridge #nolasmostromanticspot
Chong Li and Gandalf brought this to us back during the training Saturdays in October. It hurts.
I should have done more but we were short on time and I messed up the counting enough that I just wanted to get out of #nolasmostromanticspot
X20 Step ups left leg, dips, inclined merks, step ups right leg
x 10 Step up left, dips, inclined merks, step ups right
Run back to track at Roosevelt Mall
At the track a quick COP, Hawg ditched us at this point. LIFO.
Parkers Peters x 20, LBC Twist x 20, Arm Raise Planks x 25 (these hurt way more than I thought), finished this COP with Dying Cockroach x 20. Roots noticed these hurt more than usual today.
More ragged counting — I was out of it the AM. However I can feel the burn now so it worked.
Finally – we went for the 1000m from Hades – a gift/ripple from Mr Awesome.
Run full speed x 400m, walk 200m, Run full speed 200m , walk 100 m, Run full speed 100 m.
Tclaps to Zombie for killing it in the 400 and 200 sprints.
Tclaps to Roots for killing it in the 100 – and would have won if not for a helpful Jesuit track team.
Mosey 1/2 mile back to Flag. Total mosey was just over 3 miles.
SHOUT OUT – Reluctant Yankee. Reminded us to be grateful and appreciate our blessing.
Always a pleasure to Q. As I write at 441PM my core is tender from the workout – so thats a good thing.
Please sign up to run the 5K for the Fallen, via Tulane’s ROTC- we will run on Feb 21st as a group for a CSAUP. It’s a great cause and we should be involved with this!
Also Roots and I plan to run the Shamrock Run. – Its an 8K and just for fun. Drinking is involved.
Mardi Gras is the perfect time for a NOLA EH. EH the guy standing next to you during a parade gap.
If you haven’t been out to join us in awhile – make an effort this week. Burn those Mardi Gras beer cals in a preemptive strike.
