4 men met at Pontiff Lake, formerly known as Pontiff Playground. Luckily a strong storm moved through the area last night to keep the reservoir full. YHC was hoping to stretch his legs this morning and get some mileage in.
* Listen up kids. Don’t wait a week to write-up your backblast, especially if you are old. YHC’s brain function is probably also affected by the seemingly half mile of bear crawls I did at City Park with QIC Amnesty earlier this morning. Anyway, YHC has a fuzzy recollection of the details on this one. I think it’s pretty close, but feel free to correct me in the comments.
The Thang
The point of the workout this morning was to do something that had never been done at #RockCity – run the entire 1-mile loop con roca. We were successful. We were even blessed with the opportunity to run through the ankle deep flood waters on the far side of the park. As far as we know there are only four men in New Orleans who have completed this.
Here are the stops we made along the way:
- Warm-up COP Where is the dog walker?Warm-up COP: SSH IC x 30; Peter Parkers IC x 30; Good Mornings IC x 15; Arm Circles IC x 40 (Forward x 20 and Reverse x 20)
- Rock COP at the top of the hill: Squat Press IC x 15; Curls IC x 15; Rows IC x 15
- Chili Pepper IC: RL Step-ups x 16; Decline Merkins x 8; LL Step-ups x 16; Incline Merkins x 8; repeato doing reps of 8 and 4.
- 6MOM: Flutter Kicks IC x 20 – Hold it – Rosalita IC x 20; Reverse Crunches IC x 30; Superman to Boat x 3

Great feeling making it all the way around the park.
