A handful of PAX threw together a beatdown this Sat at The Muscleship, thanks to the cancellation of the Jackson Day Race many of us were originally planning to run. As the PAX trickled in, it became apparent we would have quorum for the morning and kicked around a plan for the next hour, agreeing to split up the Q and play it by ear as we went. Here’s what we did:
Warmup: IW, WM, Toy Soldiers, AC, Side Lunges, PP
Round 1 w/Tool: Four circuits around NOMA, stopping at four different spots. Started in the front w/ascending squats on each of the step….approx 60-ish total. Then up the ramp for 10 burpees…planned on using the steps but closed for construction. Third stop in the back for 4 rounds of Sunday mornings…we may have broken some rules by doing them on a Sat. Fourth stop on the south side of NOMA was a circuit out of an old school playbook, perhaps originated by Side Effects, called The Tooth Fairy. Inclined Merkins starting on the first step, ascending as we went up 14 steps…105-ish total merkins.
Round 2 w/Willie: We moseyed over to the festival grounds pavilion and each claimed a bench. Willie led us through a good mix of steps ups, declined merkins, dips, inclined merkins, and box jumps. Then circled up for a round of Jack Webs up to 10…always brings the burn. By this point, we somehow got to talking about high schools and we figured out we were all part of “The Catholic League”, representing 4 different schools, which then triggered some smack talk and friendly jabs.
Round 3 w/Gabrielle. We moseyed back to base for Route 66 along Lelong Dr, stopping at each light post for 8-ct Body Builders, starting at 1 up to 11….66 total. Moseyed as a group back to the flag for some flutter kicks and ? before running out of time.
COT, BOM, followed by coffeeteria.
Despite the dreary forecast, we lucked out with the weather and made the most out of the morning. YHC enjoyed meeting Pop-a-Lock and the F2 that followed. Always a great way to start the day.
