“To Fartlek tis better than to Fartsack” – Anonymous
A sub-40s morning in NOLA as five men braved the cold to stomp the gloom. We were missing some of the usual suspects. Rumor has it that they have started a 6 days on / 6 days off routine. YHC gave the disclaimer and we were off.
The Thang
We took the usual Bayou route. 6 minutes of jogging followed by 1 minute of the PAX choice. Rinse and Repeat. YHC has been wanting to substitute a 30 second sprint for the burpees every since I read about it’s introduction by SFx a few weeks ago. I was also looking to stay away from burpees after the beatdown my lower back received during Heisenberg’s Rock City Q yesterday. Thankfully SFx joined me in the sprints. We made it to the middle of I-10 before we had to turn around. On the way back we past a man impersonating Griswold. Finally, at the start of Roosevelt Mall, we caught up to the real Griswold along with Tool and OSHA. SFx was excited about the opportunity for the PAX to finish together for the first time in Stomp history. Then Tool dashed his hopes as he shouted out “Finish Strong” and took off in a sprint. This “Finish Strong” call proved to be far to early as YHC finished very weakly. We sealed the deal with 15 burpees. That’s how we Stomp.
