That was the refrain of the day after YHC called out, \u201cLet\u2019s get started,\u201d and was met with a collective groan. Look, YHC isn\u2019t even in the top 3 of the toughest Northshore Q\u2019s (think Grundy, Hammer, hell, even Pickaxe\/Chainsaw could give me a run for my money). Also, just personal philosophy here, but YHC believes we don\u2019t need to be gutting it out every day during the week. Sometimes a simple four corners with some merkins and squats will suffice. Especially in this heat.<\/p>\n

However\u2026<\/p>\n

There were burpees and Sister Mary\u2019s to contend with if you happen to be a Spartaner participating in Zoo\u2019s ISI challenge. And these gems (which otherwise would never have found their way into today\u2019s beatdown, obviously) would unfortunately have to be passed along to the pax.<\/p>\n

The usual warmorama saw a little excitement when BBQ dared to poke the bear during torso twists, saying, \u201cNow THAT is how you count torso twists. Some guys – not naming names (ahem, Jose 10k), just rush through it.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was all it took – you could see the fire light in Jose\u2019s eyes: \u201cOh, wait – hold up – you wanna talk cadence counting with me, BBQ?!?\u201d The mocking began and eventually devolved into another gesture of self-love (not the warmorama kind) directed at BBQ. BBQ took his licks before YHC moved it along – nothing to see here.<\/p>\n

20x burpees, OYO. (\u201cZoo\u2019s fault, not mine.\u201d)<\/p>\n

Mosey over to the back of the Justice Center for some leg work:<\/p>\n

Round 1:
\n20x squats
\n20x lunge pulse left leg (SMK\u2019s if needed)
\n20x lunge pulse right leg (SMK\u2019s if needed)
\n20x mountain climbers (2:1)<\/p>\n

High knees run to the stairs, 5x calf raises up each step, mosey perimeter back to start.<\/p>\n

10x burpees to reset round (Again, blame Zoo.)<\/p>\n

Round 2:
\n20x alt leg lunges
\n20x monkey humpers IC (timed perfectly for a courthouse employee who made a very wide berth around us, though YHC had a hard time reading her side-eye of Moby, which seemed to be a mixture of lewd desire and also revulsion.)
\n20x Apollo Ohno\u2019s
\n20x plank jacks<\/p>\n

High knees, calf raises, back to start. 10x burpees <\/p>\n

Round 3:
\n20x Bobby Hurley\u2019s
\n20x star jumps
\n20x smurf jacks
\n20x Peter Parker\u2019s<\/p>\n

And more high knees, calf raises, burpees.<\/p>\n

Amidst all the leg work we got to hear about Legal\u2019s son\u2019s pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago, all 700+ km of it over the course of 39 days. Apparently, it was \u201clife changing.\u201d But then again, Legal says that to his son, everything falls into one of three categories: awesome, incredible, life-changing. Ahh the sunny optimism of youth. There was none of that to be found here at the Gipper – sunny optimism or youth – as we listened to Moby grunting and muttering f-bombs (presumably directed at YHC).<\/p>\n

Over to the benches for a quick set of 11\u2019s: Freak Nasties, up to the top of the stairs, to merkins. Halfway thru we modified to Moby-style (no running), which was more brutal but helped with timing.<\/p>\n

Back to the flag in time for a quick one minute plank (again, Zoo\u2019s fault), and then COT where Einstein prayed us out, with thanks and healthy wishes for the Pax\u2019s new grandchildren (congrats BBQ and Einstein!). As always, it was a pleasure to be amongst the fine (and refined) gentlemen of Covington – seriously, you guys are a great crew. Every time I make it out there, it motivates me to come more often. <\/p>\n
