Partner 11’s

Pre-Thang

The sun is definitely coming up earlier in the Crescent City, which made for steamy, sweaty mess in the gloom.  Luckily the mosquitos weren’t so bad.  Tool was convinced someone was smoking a little grass walking up to the flag, but YHC was pretty sure it was the fresh smell of fertilizer.  Yankee mentioned something about some green onions…

Warm-Up

Mosey over to Green Wave Lawn:

• COP IC: SSH x 30, Low Country Crab x 20, Pickle Pounder x 20, Monkey Humps x 20

Some mumble chatter around these IC exercises.  Roots claimed the LCC was weird until the count got up to 20.  Monkey Humps got some attention as well until thighs were burning.

The Thang

Mosey over to Wolfpack Mountain for Indian Run to the Summit.  Bad Moon did a countdown from 20 for recovery.  Proceed to 6 minutes of planks in this order: hollow hold, elbow plank, side plank (each side), and backwards plank.  Hold plank for 1 min; rest 15 seconds.  T-Claps to Jazzy for making it through all the planks while giving the PAX a good laugh for excessive heavy breathing patterns.

From Wolfpack Mountain Summit descend first ramp and partner up for Squerkin 11’s.  First partner gets in Merikan position while second partner holds legs up at waist.  YHC and Hawgcycle performed a beautiful demonstration for the PAX.  In unison partner 1 completes Merikan while partner 2 squats.  Run up ramp, flapjack positions, and repeat until 11’s are complete.  YHC is calling himself out for nearly mooping halfway through the 11’s.  That would have been a tragic site to see.

Slow descent down Wolfpack Mountain to plank up at the bike racks.  Head back to flag.

Name-O-Rama: Total of 12 this fine morning.  FNG, Ikea, is the youngest to come out for an F3 NOLA workout at age 18.

Shout Out: Tool has a buddy who just underwent hip surgery and was a tri-athlete down in Texas.  Thoughts are with him.  YHC recently started a project up in Vancouver, WA right outside of Portland, OR.  Lately, YHC’s been overwhelmed with positive vibes: being on a good project, good relationship with wife, festival season in NOLA has been spectacular, etc.  YHC conveyed thoughts of gratitude leading into weekend.
