It was a cool not cold morning. Lots of Fartsackers. 6 of us gathered in the gloom to eliminate some of the ethanol products ingested at the Muses parade the evening before. In honor of New Orleans ski week- I had looked at some of the US Ski teams training regimens and tried to incorporate them into the workout. (With some significant modifications.)
Began with a mosey to the fountain. SSH x25, Merkins x 20, Box jumps x 20 (apparently the skiers do lots of jumps)
Mosey to the quad,. Lateral box jumps x 20 right, diamond merkins x 20, lateral box jumps x 20 left.
Mosey to the garage where the fun began, Burpee Long jumps x 10 then sprint to next level, SSH jumps to the next level, side step (like climbing with skis when you pass the lift) right to next level, side step left to the next level. Hallelujah run to the next level, Long jumps to the next level. Now that we made it to the top some short planking and a slalom to the bottom. Side step back and forth all the way then mosey back to the quad.
Time for some Mary. superman with a snow angel modification x 20, windshield wipers x 20, monkey humpers x 20, LBC x 20, Followed by a short arctic animal parade with a “polar” bear crawl and a “snow” crab walk.
Mosey back to the flag. I always feel like we are playing frogger when we cross the road, so we did it for real with long jumps as we crossed st. Charles then a sprint to the flag.
Count off, name o rama, announcements and a prayer. Then off to rehydrate before heading to the quarter and replenishing my ethanol levels. All ready for snow.
The beatdown of all beatdowns. Franz Klammer move over.
