Despite a welcoming and motivational Mumblechatter preblast, only four brave, badass souls braved the chilly, windy conditions for Tsunami.
After a brief disclaimer and glance around for late arrivals, we moseyed across St Charles and up into the sheltering embrace of Wolfpack Mountain.
Warm up (undercover), in cadence:
- SSH x15
- Imperial Walkers x15
- Squats x15
- Merkins x15
- Peter Parker’s x15
Mosey across Freret to the ROTC pull-up bars for come circuit work:
3 small groups (2-1-1):
5 pull ups, while others do plank jacks and jump squats
3 rounds
Mosey further into Tulane and to the edge of the Quad:
Pair up for some Dora:
While partner 1 runs the length of the quad, partner 2 does exercises:
- 50 derkins
- 100 dips
- 150 power ups
- 100 dips
- 50 derkins
Next a long, meandering mosey to Willow and down Calhoun…several wrong turns while trapped among the dorms on the part of YHC added some distance.
Finally back on track and over to little WPM.
Up the stairs to the top floor for some merkins and mary
- Freddy Mercury x30
- Flutters x30
- Diamonds x20
- Stagger merkin (L/R) x20
- Dolly x30
- Dying cockroach x30
- Widearms x20
Back to base, with a few minutes to spare so we did 15 burpees for good measure (and while waiting for Nip/Tuck, who was gingerly finishing having just returned from several weeks out with a banged up Achilles.) Missing a few of the Tsunami regulars, but it was great having Nip/Tuck back from the DL and hope today didn’t deliver any set-backs to recovery.
All in, we ran 3.25miles, did 100+ merkins and 100+ squats/variants, and put a solid down painment on the day.
Quick COT and an offer of thanks for our health and many blessings in life.
Until next time,
Mariah
