Flashdancin’ in the Rain

T’was a cold wet Wednesday morning – 46 degrees. YHC almost didn’t make it out of bed in time; I snoozed until 5:09 when I realized I should probably get a move on. YHC pull up to the Bird Cage at 5:28 to find Yankee in shorts planting the #shovelflag in the soppy mud. CHAKA (he asked to have his name put in all caps for this bb) was chillin’ in his car until YHC walk up to the flag. Hawg shortly follows to make it 4 ballsy men ready to endure some Blue Dog pain in the miserable gloomy weather.

The Thang

• Mosey to the southeast corner of the park near the houses for a warm up – Incorporate butt kicks, high skips, karaoke, and high knees as we mosey.
• Warm-up COP:
  • SSH x 30 IC, Imperial Walkers x 20 IC, Russian Imperial Walkers (keep legs straight) x 20 IC, Plank for 20 secs, stay planked, Mountain Climbers x 20 IC, stay planked, Merkin’s x 10 IC, stay planked,  Plank Jax x 20…. Recover (We’re drenched at this point, there is no going back)
• Mosey back towards the flag and circle up at the suicide lamps across from the bandstand (on the way YHC asks “what does the P stand for in BLIMPS?”; CHAKA asks “why do you want to know that?”.
  • Stretching, so not to pull anything
    • feet together touch toes for 10 secs, spread feet and stretch middle, left and right.
  • Annnnnnnd BLIMPS!!: 5 Burpees, 10 Lunges ea leg, 15 Imperial Walkers, 20 Merkins, 25 Plank Jacks, and 30 squats
    • Line-up at first pole nearest the track for 11s
      • for this set of 11s we used the first three poles nearest to the track. On go – sprint to the third pole do 10 merkins, back to first pole for 1 squat, then to second pole for 9 merkins, then back to first for 2 squats, back to third for 8 merkins and … well you get the picture! – Plank Up and wait for 6 when finished.
• Mosey over to the fly,
  • SUDDEN CHANGE!!!!
    • 10 Muddy Burpees near a tree on the east side of magazine
• Continue to the Fly, up and over the hill.
  • Park in the grass near the river
  • COP:
    • jack webs begin with 1 and end with 10 oyo (wet gloves added some weight to the air shoulder presses.)
    • a couple minutes of mary: inward circles (similar to dolly, but creating circular motion) x 10, outward circles x 10 (we need a name for these), flutter kicks x 20
• Running out of time at this point; Kick it back to the flag with a brisk jog.
• Turns out we have two minutes to spare when we park at the flag.
  • 2 minute plankorama
    • elbow planks with a 25 count down from Hawg
    • finish up with wife pleasers until Yank calls time

Moleskin

Great workout today! I was surprised by how much fun I had during this workout. I thought I would be absolutely miserable in the cold rain this morning. Those of you who were absent, you missed a fun wet workout. When’s the last time you felt the need to jump in puddles? I feel as though even though it was quite chilly; with the amount of energy we exerted we were able to stay fairly warm; possibly just as warm as the fart sack we crawled out of this morning. I really enjoyed this Q today boys!

#TClaps to Yankee, Hawg, and CHAKA KHAN! for embracing the nasty weather and posting for a great workout.
#TClaps to the crew for logging in 2.3 miles on this cold rainy morning
