“Going Back to Ramses”
Misery, F3 East Coast Records

YHC was excited to return to Ramses after a long hiatus on the flip side of the Durham County line. Beautiful morning, and daylight for most of the workout. 13 PAX showed up. 2 for EC.

I’m going back to Ramses, to Ramses, to Ramses
I’m going back to Ramses … I don’t think so
I’m going back to Ramses, Qing, Doing, Ruing life choices
Tar Heel Mountain Tall, Ego now small
Screw this elevation

Warm Up

The Thang

2 sets of escalators with some jogging in between
# 1 Broad Jump escalator
Broad jump from the bottom of the parking lot to the tree line. Incrementing Merkins after each jump
First jump – 1 Merkin. Second jump – two Merkins. Continue to Top
Then, back down with lunge walks
3 lung walks, then 3 LBCs. Then, 3 more lunge walks and 6 LBCs. Keep incrementing by 3s until you reach bottom

Muscles twitching, Cooter bitching
Where the hell is Subprime
?
Merkins incrementing, cementing, dementing
Time for a recovery jog

Run towards Laurel Hill – 20 Bobby Hurleys 1/2 way and 20 Bobby Hurleys at top
Run back to the start – 20 Monkey Humpers at 1/2 way and 20 Monkey Humpers at the stop sign

Okay, breaks over. What’s next?

How many are we doing?

# 2 Elevens
1 Merkin at the top of Tar Heel Mountain, run 1/2 way down (I’m no sadist) and do 10 squats.
Run back to the top and 2 Merkins, back to the bottom and 9 squats.
Increase by one at the top, decrease by one at the bottom until you flip it – 10 Merkins and 1 squat

Now Avalanche is fast, but Ocho is faster. And Deepdish is already done
Prancing Horse Crying, Misery Sighing. Whose idea was this anyway?

Climbing, rhyming, sliming at the end
I want to lay down but gonna finish
this thing

Run towards Laurel Hill – 10 Bobby Hurleys 1/2 way and 10 Bobby Hurleys at top
Run back to the start – 10 Monkey Humpers at 1/2 way and 10 Monkey Humpers at the bottom
