Better late than never on the backblast but between the Friday before Mardi Gras and today I had to reconnect some neurons. But it was said Friday when 11 strong kicked the weekend off right. We were short some rolling Elvi, Muses groupies, and flambeau carriers but those that showed were rewarded with a beatdown.
Granted it had been a while since I q’d so naturally I forgot this disclaimer and promptly warmed up with 20 merkins IC.
Mosey to St. Charles and Walnut for BLIMPS on St. Charles (F3 PR). Brought us to in front of Holy Name. Encountered some displaced (ie lost) Navy ROTC students looking for another Seaman but we had to disappoint. We did point them in the right direction.
Mosey through Loyola to Tulane quad (plenty of Seaman here) (an ROTC breakfast perhaps) for some 4 corner abs. Russian twist x 30, LBCs x 30, LBT x 30, WW2 sit-ups x 20. Plank and wait in the center.
3 peak challenge commenced: Mosey to Yulman garage and Mosey to the peak on your own pace down the stairs. Long Indian run down Calhoun to Loyola Rec garage. Indian run to the top and Kong ran like he was being chased- he was – so the pace was aggressive. Down the stairs and Mosey to Wolfpack mountain. Indian run to the top with a lot of heavy breathing. Down the stairs and hustle to the flag! 3 minutes overdue but a good 4 mile run once it was all done!
Count off, name o rama, and intentions. Ball of man with prayers for a safe and fun Mardi Gras.
