When is slated to be 27 degrees at launch, you need a workout that keeps the PAX moving and warm.  But, when the site Q calls you out on The Slacks the night before, you have to improvise to effectively respond to the taunt.  Thus was born a series of SLOW exercises with a bigly Dora run-sprint-run.  I’m sure Biner was ecstatic that he made the clown car trip in with me from Carpex.  Or pissed…it sorta seems the same with Biner.

The Warm-up

1st lap around the peanut was a jog with butt-kickers, high knees, side shuffles, and reverse.  2nd lap was a Cardi-lap (do they still call it that at TR?).  Circle up at the baseballs for:

Windmills, SSH, IW, and calf stretches

Jog out to the ATT for…

The Thang

Partner up for Dora.  Together, the partners performed 100x SLOW merkins, 200x SLOW squats, and 300x SLOW LBCs.  Don’t ask Floyd what any of those are, it was readily apparent he had no idea.  SLOW is a cadence count exercise, 3 counts down, 1 count up.  While one partner was performing the exercises, the other was jogging to the bollards and back, with a 20yd sprint in between, each way.  (Bollard, Floyd.  You know, the post that keeps cars from driving on the ATT?  The GATE!!!)  Because Cardiac said I was SLOW…so I thought we’d remedy that together.  Although, when 2 of the 5 PAX are Cardiac and Weed and Feed, you sorta do feel slow.  Somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 mile round trip.  Afterward, jog down the ATT back to Herndon’s entrance and around to the rock pile for some rock work (He said slow AND weak…remember?)

Colt 45s

2×10 rock rows

2×10 presses

2×10 triceps

Put the rocks out of sight, but not out of mind for…

The Mary

20x SLOW Freddy Mercury (2-count each knee)

20x SLOW low flutters

20x SLOW heels to heaven

20x SLOW American Hammers (2-count each side).  Did you remember the rocks, ’cause I did.

The COT

Count-o-rama: YHC guessed 5, it was 5

Name-o-rama: still 5

‘da Bull (14Apr18).  Let me editorialize here.  I love the service aspect to this year’s The Bull.  Major TClaps to the PAX that pushed for this!

Floyd is offering a Spartan course at TBL on 24Mar18

Praise that none of us had pressing matters (“praise for peaceful lives”  Floyd heard, “praise for peaceful wives”.  Also valid.)

YHC took us out.

The NMS

The last time Beaker was at TR…

Cardiac was driving a Trailblazer, not a minivan

Floyd was leaving on a trip to Vegas (some things never change)

Barack Obama was president (this might be an exaggeration)

Beaker was fast and strong (definitely an exaggeration)
