Pre-Thang –
A post Bar A Thon workout. My butt was the only dummy to show up post – 6 beers 6 miles!
A nice crew of 6 for a not so gloomy but very balmy workout. Humidity sucks!
The Thang – Maverick had the Q first.
He started us off by running us a way we have never run. We ran back out the AO towards Orleans Ave. There was actually a small hill on the bridge to add a nice little bonus to the run. We stopped at the 600 year OAK tree. Is that for real?? 600 year old tree. It is the McDonogh Oak. It is actually 26 feet in circumference. An arborist said it is probably on 350 on his visit to the tree, but 600 sounds better.
Anyway this tree was the site of a little warmup courtesy of Maverick.
25 SSH, plank for 1 min-Maverick said we have to plank bc he never gets to plank in a normal workout, Imperial Walker squats x 20 , plank 1 min, Lunge walk 100 ft then plank 1 min.
Then we mosey to back across a bridge to the island–which should be called SMELLY Crawfish guts island. We did one set of Dips x 20 then we had to get out of there. maverick good call on the modification. City Park sure seems to have a ton of stinky places.
We ran to the front of the Museum. At the front of the Museum we had to run up the stairs and do 10 burpees. Then at the bottom 1 inclined merkin , then to the fountain 1 dip. Mav we need a name for this thing. It is almost an 11 but sucks more than 11’s. We love you, but we hate you for this invention. Each rep you reduce one burpee and increase one merkin and dip. Maverick’s name was taken in vain several times.
Then came the hammer of hammers. After the mosey over to the outdoor gym.
Maverick did the ROXANNE. One merkin every Roxanne and one plank jack every time sting sang put on the red light. For a grand total of 25 Roxannes and a 3 min plank with some jacks in there. We love you, but we hate you Maverick!
YHC took over at this point. We mosey’d a bit and then we did 25 LbCs, 25 Peter Parkers, 25 penguins.
Outdoor gym with partners- 10 pull ups, 10 row ups, and 10 dips on the bars. Then a second time through with 8 of the same exercises.
Then after that exercise we did a short mosey and did 25 LBC twists, and 25 Parker Peters.
Then we Mosey’d over to the Art Museum for a backwards bear crawl up the stairs and a regular bear crawl down the stairs. 2 at a time – the Pax had to plank and wait.
Then the final mosey back to the FLAG. In the run to the FLAG Hawgcycle tried to sneak up on me, but thanks to a tip off from Side Effects I was able to find the last gear to keep my boy in 2nd. (Even after 6 beers barathon the night before!)
It is always a pleasure men! And even better is that with Maverick we are in good hands from now on!
