5:25 and there was some light rumbling in the distance and a few drops of rain, but not enough to audible or change the plan of attack… at 5:30 a half-assed disclaimer was given and 13 of us were off, picking up a few stragglers and a loose pit bull mix along the way.
Easy mosey around the parking lot to the bandstand for some warm-up in cadence:
- SSH x20
- Peter Parker x20
- Merkins x 15
- Low slow squat x 20
To picnic tables under cover and pair up:
While partner A runs Oak Alley to track and back around parking lot, Partner B does exercises
- Lap 1: steps ups
- Lap 2: dips
- Lap 3: incline merkins
- Lap 4: squats
- Lap 5: Freddie Mercurys
Gather the six then head through the darkness to the track. Indian run to bridge, and squats while we wait for the 6.
Over and into Audubon Park Golf Course for some Mary (staying low to the ground to avoid being struck by the lightning that seemed to be quickly approaching)
50 LBCs, 40 Flutters, 40 Rosalita
Across the golf course, meandering aimlessly in the wind, rain and lightning to far side track, then a quick check of the clock showed that I’d blown the whole thing and leadership was disintegrating so we hustled back to the virtual flag by 6:15. (So much more planned but will need to wait for next time.)
In total, 3.5 miles.
COT in the rain and thunder.
Announcements are in Yankees email from Sunday night, and there was not much time for chit chat due to the weather⚡️⚡️. Not sure what happened to the pit bull, but he wasn’t at COT so didn’t get a cool nickname like Pluto, Ocho-Cinqo or Sick-balls.
Until next time,
Mariah

PS – Would be great to see more of F3 NOLA get on Strava…
