That Was Awful!

The BackBlast:

A little liquid sunshine didn’t scare away 12 studs this morning, who were subjected to heavy miles, hills, and exercises. 

The Thang:

EC:

• Mosey left out of the lot down Kings to Torrence for a suicide up Torrence with 3 stops
  • Up Torrence to Ellison for 10 merkins and 10 LBCs, then back to Kings
  • Up Torrence to Baxter for 20 merkins and 20 LBCs, then back to Kings
  • Up Torrence to Main for 30 merkins and 30 LBCs, then back to Kings
• Up Torrence to Main with 10 merkins at Ellison, 20 merkins at Baxter, and 30 merkins at Main
• Mosey back to the lot to pick up the late sleepers.

Main Event:

• Over to the greenway.  5 diamonds at every other light post all the way to the clock tower.
• Grab some wall.  20 dips OYO
• Mosey past the CMC Megadeck and over to the bottom of Waverly for 7s
  • Burpees at the top starting with 6
  • Sumo jump squats at the bottom starting with 1
• Mary waiting on the 6
• Mosey over to the Kenilworth/Scott wedge
• At the bottom, 10 spiderman merkins and 10 sumo jump squats, then up Kenilworth to East.  At the top, 10 burpees and 10 knee ups. Then back down Kenilworth to the bottom.
• Repeato the same combo up Scott and back down.
• Mary waiting on the 6
• Mosey back toward home across Morehead and over to the bottom of Harding Pl.
• Backwards up Harding.  At the top, 10 hand release merkins.  Then down the other side to Kenilworth for 10 Carolina dry docks.  Back up Harding and over and then head to the house for COT

Random Things:

It was raining and humid, which is not really random.  YHC decided to ditch the shirt from the get go and leave it in the car vs. the classic Hillary peel off and drop method during the first 20 seconds.  Less effort and more efficient.  Strong group this morning.  I knew I would be leading from the middle based on the EC group alone.  Someone needs to remind Shawshank what day of the week it is.  He was obviously confused and lost this morning, and somehow ended up at Shark Tank.  He’s really fat and out of shape, too.  The complaining started right out of the gate during EC with all of the called merkins, so I knew I was on the right track.  Team Swindy enjoyed a heavy dose of their favorite exercises all morning, including the “merkins at the light posts down the greenway.”  They love that one!  Waverly and the Wedge are always crowd pleasers, and a small taste of Harding was a perfect way to end the morning.  The morning was as advertised.  We covered just over 6 miles with the EC, had plenty of elevation change, and an ample amount of exercises along the way.  YHC was definitely smoked.  When Ballz says, “Curly that was awful,” mission accomplished.  Cindy even provided a take out with no profanity.  That’s a solid start to the day.

Always an honor.
