If the Levee breaks…

61 degrees and cool in the Birdcage this AM when 9 met in the gloom to battle some Levees.

Pre-Thang

Introductions with our new FNG – 2 guys representing Charlotte.  Moop Dog and Hairball in the house to keep us on the right path down here in NOLA.

Early mumblechatter “Do you think F3 launched in NOLA so they would have a base during their conferences? or are they worried about us?”

The Thang

QIC – Reluctant Yankee

Run out to the right 1/4 mile – brisk run

COP:  SSH, Merkins, Squats, and Imp. Walkers x 15

Run to the Levee

6MOM:  LBC, LBC Twist, Flutter, High Dolly, Rosalita, Bycicle, Reach for the Sky x 15

Modified 11’s on the Levee (not quite Chevy to the Levee)

Instead of 11’s we did 7’s (F3 probably has a name for that)  Run over the levee and do 7 burpies on the other side – then run back and do 1 Diamond Merkin – drop a burpee add a diamond merkins until you have done 7 merkins

–on the way over the hill Roots battles with unleashed dogs

–on the way down the levee – Roots battles a pile of dog poop (great morning)

The Rev – QIC

Run to the levee at the butterfly/the fly

Wheel barrows down, jog up x 3/each  **why is this so hard now but easy when I was 8

Run to the fly- a beautiful spot looking out over the Mississippi River – mental note that  I will always bring the group here on Wed when I have Q and when we have guests

Plank rotations  each position in cadence x 16

Rolling Plank – each position in cadence x 16  **Hairball was impressed – mentions stealing that for home

Jog back to bandstand

Bandstand all full of some lady with a jambox having a private workout.  Yikes!  Picnic benches full of another lady with her private workout

Step ups on some other picnic benches x 15

Jog back to flag COT  — Hey were did our gloom go – almost sunny by the end of the workout!

Tclaps to Moop Dogg for join us from Charlotte and making the journey from the Airport area

Tclaps to Hairball for joining us from Charlotte who made the journey from the Ritz

Tclaps to The Rev for a challenging but do-able workout

Tclaps to The Rev for a thoughtful shout out – about the concept of mentoring and that sometimes the people who need mentors aren’t the people that obviously need mentors – make me reflect a few times today about it
