7 PAX arrived at 0500 to enjoy a comfortable fall morning. Much improved from the humidity we had at the beginning of the week. Cooter gave us the game plan for EC. 10 man-makers, Kettlebell/bucket carry to the brick circle, drop the coupons, run the loop, bring your coupon back to the I-beams, and then do 30 seconds of bows and toes. We got three sets of these in. Sweats decided to show off a little bit, and do the whole thing with a ruck on. There was an understood rule that you had to carry a bucket at least once.
Now that our forearms and legs were completely shot, we joined up with the rest of the PAX who were really looking forward to YHC’s Q, probably. 27 in total came to start Friday the 13th off with a little bit of good luck.
Warm-Up:
- Tuck Jumps x30
- Windmills x10 IC
- LBAC x10 IC Forward and Reverse
- Alternating Shoulder Taps x10
- Slow Merkins x15
- Mountain Climbers x10
The Thang:
Part 1: Suicides on the Tennis Court
Start off with some pain over by the tennis courts. We moseyed over to Garrett Road Park to hop on the tennis courts. Friday the 13th strikes again! The courts were locked up. Little disclaimer here, we have used these tennis courts in the past and they’ve never been locked up. Going to have to make Knope look into this for us. YHC called the audible and we moved over to Jordan’s tennis courts instead. PAX were instructed to run a suicide while performing 5 burpees at each stop, and perform 5 donkey kicks against the fence on the way back each time. We then did some recovery in the form of 10 one-legged squats on each leg while using the fence as support. The next suicide we performed was bearing crawling to the lines, performing 5 merkins, and doing 5 tuck jumps on the baseline.
Going to have to give a major shoutout to Stop Drop and Roll who was doing the suicides to my left and absolutely destroying them. I have know idea how others were doing, but he was in straight beast mode today.
Part 2: 13’s and Sprints
Quick jog to the bottom of the hill outside the forever locked entrance of the track. With it being Friday the 13th, and with Friday being the sixth day of the week, we performed 13 reps of six different exercises followed by a sprint to the barriers and back. Repeat. Repeat Again.
- Hand Release Merkins
- Jump Squats
- Plank Jacks
- Diamond Merkins
- BWS
- WWIIs
Clock hit 6:15 and we headed back to the parking lot for COT. Plank Jacks and WWIIs count as mary, so we still got in a little core.
COT:
- Welcome FNG Heisenberg. He is a pharmacist, so there’s your connection to a drug dealer of blue meth.
- Ruck the ATT is tomorrow. It’s going to be awesome and suck at the same time
- Doogie’s 5 year anniversary Q at TBL tomorrow. He’ll probably fartsack it.
- Sherwin let us know about a fish fry in downtown Durham today to support a non-profit. My brain was a little hazy after those sprints, so I can’t remember all the details.
