Its Okwata Time. That means its Levee time. 40 times.
11 PAX gathered around the shovel flag this morning in the dark gloom. Alas, no glorious sunrise over the waters of Okwata. The PAX will have to wait several weeks for the morning light to appear during the workouts again. Until then, just gloomy gloom. The PAX welcomed the visitor – Schottenheimer from Cleveland. Thanks for coming out to join us!
At 5:30, YHC pronounced the disclaimer and so we began.
First, Mosey 10 yards to the flag (from all the way across the sidewalk). Circle up for warmup, sprinkled with mumble chatter.
- SSH x25
- Abe Vigoda x10
- IW x25
Then off to the base of the Levee.
By now, the PAX know the drill. 10 exercises. 4 Sets of each exercise. 10 reps per set. Back and forth over the Levee for each set. That equals (do the math….) 40 trips over the levee.
- Cross Fit Merkins: Oh, the grass is cold. And wet.
- Box Cutters: Out-Up-In-Down half the time, Up-Out-Down-In the other half. Shorty finally realizes there’s a difference.
- 4-Count Lunges: Triple Shift appears to have mixed signals and went for the 20 reps of 4 count lunges.
- Derkins: a new wrinkle – stop half-way down the levee for the exercise. Slip and Slide trying to stop
- Dying Cockroach: Frac rightly points out that Roaches crawl, forcing a clarification from YHC that we were doing the Dying variety. On our backs.
- Bobby Hurley: OK, YHC certainly felt this when running up the hill.
- Irkins: stop half-way up the levee for the exercise.
- Monkey Humpers: I thought the Bobby Hurley burned….
- Hello Dolly: I think that just maybe I saw Mahatma break a sweat.
- Burpees: The crowning glory, as Tool was lamenting the lack of burpees in the workout.
Finished up at 6:08. We are getting better at this. That meant we had time for more! Quadrophelia! Up to the top of the levee, so we can run forwards-down and backwards-up (i.e., always look to the lake) for 4 minutes.
Back to the flag with a minute to spare. Time for LBC x40.
Finish up with Count-off and Name-o-rama. Intentions, then close with prayers. Psalm 40, a song of praise.
I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord
and put their trust in him.
Thanks for letting me lead!
