This Place Sucks

The usual PAX posted to a new AO for a trial run/scouting workout at the Koop Drive Trailhead on the St. Tammany Trace.  I hate to give away the ending, but yea, it wasn’t that great.  We can do better.

Chewy, although technically not late, arrived at 5:15 on the dot avec socks but sans shoes.  If he can show up with both socks and shoes on (and yes, tied) it will be a Christmas Miracle.

THE THANG (most of this will only be mildly accurate, certainly out of order, or completely false)

2 laps around locked playground containing plentiful apparatuses (apparatii??) on which we could not do upper body exercises.

Burpee suicides.  5, 10, and 15 yards with 15, 10, and 5 burpees, respectively, at each Solo Cup (read: cone).  Note: these were the shortest suicide distances ever, in recorded history.

 

Mosey to pavilion for:

Frankenstein (Nazi/Kim Jung Un/insert living/dead despot or regime) march – 20 yards

Over/Under hurdles – 20 yards

SSH x 13 IC

IW x 13 IC

Merks x 13 IC

 

Mosey aimlessly looking for somewhere to COP.  Ended up near a Coke machine and the Men’s Room.

 

Rotating Circle of: Stepups, weird handstand thing against metal door, Iron Cross.  Two cycles completed whilst the guy on stepups did 10 per leg.

 

Mosey back to pavilion for the following x 2:

HFUAB (hang from underneath a bench) – 10 second count

Freak Nasties x 20 IC

Derks x 6

 

Mumblechatter about how this place sucks.

 

Back to Coke Machine/Men’s Lou for:

Modified Iron Cross whereby man on ground holds ankles of guy standing up; guy standing up pushes ground guy’s legs back and forth; all the while ground guy tries not to let his legs touch ground.  I am sure there is a name for this, but our experience today would indicate that we should name it the Man Sieve (basically, it separates the Men from the Boys.  Today’s verdict: Nacho is a man.  Chewy and EiEi, not so much).

I feel like I’m leaving out about 20 Merks, so just asume 20 more were done at some point.  I need to get better at making a mental note of the thang, otherwise these BB’s will eventually evolve into complete fiction.

Did I mention this place sucked?  We even forgot to do COT.  We just left.  But, we got a great workout in while most of the city fartsacked.  That, in and of itself, is a good thing!
