Five determined (and thankfully patient) veteran warriors gathered with one FNG to wade through the crowds of runners, spectators, and “runners” of the Crescent City Classic (Shorty, Cow Bell, Roots, Bad Moon, and others? – you easily could have joined us and still run the 6 miles).
We established home base and made our presence known by planting the Red, White, and Blue next to the Peristyle, YHC gave the disclaimer and we were off.
Mosey for about 50 yards to the south end of the Great Lawn to give late arrivals a stationary target.
Circle Up
Side Straddle Hops (IC) x 35
Imperial Walkers (IC) x36
Pickle Pounders (IC) x20 (for Amnesty who stayed home)
Mosey to the Foundry (joined by our 7th participant of the morning – Little Pig)
PAX OYO Circuit: 40 Pull-ups (modified as necessary) and 50 parallel bar dips
Mosey to the drinking fountain on Roosevelt Mall (so the Catholics that fasted yesterday could get some extra fluids)
YHC started hobbling on his right leg (apparently I cannot do pull-ups without straining a quad!!) so all additional workout plans were modified accordingly and PAX had extended plank and wait times.
Route 66 with Hip Slappers (OYO) along Roosevelt Mall Benches (we probably got some strange looks from passer-bys, but were too focused on making loud slaps to notice)
Mosey to the Track
100m Sprint…… of Bear Crawl
Mosey back to Roosevelt Mall
Route 66 with Decline Merkins (OYO)
At the end of which PAX member told a passer-by “Good Luck” and in return “Thanks and good luck with whatever you are doing!”
Mosey to NOMA Side Steps (quick detour to greet Wombat who was working the Classic)
Divide in two groups:
1) LBC’s (OYO)
2) Ascending Modified Tooth Fairy up the NOMA Side Steps
Mosey to Great Lawn

Parting Thoughts:
YHC apologizes to the PAX for what felt like a slow moving and dispirited workout. Hopefully, “Torture on the Track” will be back on in 4 weeks. See ya’ll in a few weeks!
No apologies needed. I thought the 100 meter sprint….of Bear Crawl was sufficiently torturous. And I realize, I need more tooth fairy work. I’m pretty lousy at that exercise. So keep working that in, por favor. Also, is 12 Dr. Ws a NOLA record? I see 15 as a coming reality.
