YHC pulled out onto Metairie Rd this early am hoping to get out to Roosevelt Mall a few minutes early to stretch these aging, tightening hammies. No such luck, though. Having forgot about the dreaded intersection closure at Canal and City Park Avenue, YHC started on the lengthy detour and pushed the pedal down to try and arrive on time.
Rolling in hot at 5:28, what sight greets YHC? Something strange. Mystifying. Baffling. Is that Cowbell? And Shorty? Whoa….. And Roots? Will wonders never cease? StubHub and Tool also waiting for me, along with one FNG – apparently, he goes by the name “El Wire” and only posts in this strange foreign world called “Uptown”. Welcome to our part of the world, stranger. Started the Disclaimer when I was startled by the sound of squealing brakes as Hawg pulled in. Restarted the disclaimer.
8 PAX took off on the normal Rudy Route. 15 minutes out, 15 minutes back. The lead pack finished close to 4 miles. Nice work, Wire/Shorty/Cowbell!
Back at the track, settle in on our 6s for a little ab work waiting on the 6. LBC x30, then slow Flutters x15.
3 laps of Sprint the straightaway (100m) and mosey the curves. Total of 6 sprints. Then just for chuckles finish with 1 more sprint.
Circle up for one more round of slow Flutters (at which point YHC sorta lost count while EH’ing a friend to join us in the circle).
Mosey back to the dual flags, and close the deal with 10 OYO burpees.
Countoff, Name-o-rama (perhaps the fastest FNG naming ever, as Shortly blurts out “Detour”. Done). Close with prayer asking for wisdom and guidance, and blessings upon all of us in our quest to be better leaders.
Gentlemen of the Stomp: thank you for letting me lead. And thank you for pushing me to move farther and faster each day.
Great Q. Love the distance/sprint combos.
Food for Thought: I’m wondering how many consecutive backblast can you write where you only use “W” words in the title… your count is 2!
You think that was an accident????
