Pre-Thang

YHC has been posting at Rock City on Mondays, but YHC never forgets where his very first AO, Uptown.  YHC received a text the night before from Reluctant Yankee reminding YHC has the Q.  Few minutes before the Q, YHC had to scope out the AO because some yoga masters have been working out by the Band Stand where YHC wants part of the workout to be.  At 5:15 a.m., no yoga masters in sight, but when we got there with our warm-ups at 5:31 am., they were there.  YHC had to modify part of the beatdown.  26 PAX managed to meet up on a cool, dry Monday morning.  At 5:30, YHC gave his standard disclaimer and off the PAX.

Warm-ups

Moseyed to the band stand and did the following in cadence:

SSHs x 20

Imperial Walkers x 20

Windmills x 15

The Thang

Starting off at the first light post at the Oak Alley in front of the Band Stand, each Pax had to do the following:

Round 1 – 5 burpees, then moseyed to the 3rd light post and did 50 scissor kicks, moseyed to the 5th light post and did 50 squats, moseyed right before the track with 5 more burpees, then run a lap from the track to the parking lot then back towards the shelter by the Band Stand.  Stopped by the shelter and did 50 dips.

Round 2 – rinse and repeat but shaved off the reps with 4 burpees, 40 scissor kicks, 40 squats, 4 burpees, 40 dips.

Round 3 – rinse and repeat but shaved off another set of reps with 3 burpees, 30 scissor kicks, 30 squats, 3 burpees, 30 dips.

Round 4 – rinse and repeat with 2 burpees, 20 scissor kicks, …..

Round 5 – rinse and repeat with 1 burpee, 10 ….

Each lap is approximately 0.25 mile.  In total, the PAX toughed out 30 burpees, 150 scissor kicks, 150 squats,  150 dips, and approximately 1.25 miles run.

T-claps to 86, Jadaveon, Mariah, and El Wire for setting the pace and finished the 5 rounds in approximately 20 minutes.  The rest of the Pax finished at a much faster time than YHC had anticipated and averaged about 5 minutes per round.  Strong work by everyone.

Round of Mary

Pax circled up in front of the band stand.  With the help of the Pax…..

Medulla – Dying Cockroach x 15 IC

Angie’s List – LBCs x 15 IC

Bartman – SLOOOOOW American Hammers x 15 IC

Reluctant Yankee – Low Country Crab x 15 IC

Sandbar – Mission Impossible Plank

El Wire – Leg Raises x 15

Mariah – SLOOOOOOW Flutter Kicks x 15 IC

More Thang

After the Round of Mary, YHC noticed the yoga masters left the band stand.  And because the Pax finished the rounds so quickly, YHC did one more round starting at the back of the band stand. (this is what YHC wanted to do from the very beginning).  The Pax finished the day with 20 box jumps, climbed over the stage, moseyed to the first light post at the Oak Alley with 2 burpees, moseyed to the 3rd light post with 20 scissor kicks, moseyed to the 5th light post with 20 squats, moseyed right before the track with 2 burpees, ran the lap like before and stopped at the shelter with 20 dips.  Waited for the Six and did 15 x IC right leg step up, then 15 x IC left leg step up.  Finally, moseyed back to the flag at 6:15 a.m.

Count-O-Rama 26PAX, Name-O-Rama, announcements, intentions.  Our thoughts and prayers for I Love You Man’s niece, Brown Bag’s 7 weeks old baby, Hawgcycle’s mother and family, and all the victims in Panama City.  Thank You all again for the opportunity to lead.  The Pax motivates me everyday to push harder than I would ever do on my own.  SYITG
