With a week to go before the Tarheel 10 Miler, YHC needed a steady dosage of hills and decided to inflict his own needs on the good people of West End. To that end, the workout encouraged as much climb as possible in the confines of Carrboro.

Warmup:

SSH, IW, Good Morning, WMH, Arm Circles, 30 seconds free stretch.

The Thang:

Mosey ALL the way to the bottom of Sweet Bay Lane. PAX assembled in the dark and began the return climb, stopping at each intersection for ascending numbers of merkins–5 at the bottom, all the way to 25 at the intersection of Sweet Bay and Roberson.

PAX then lingered on Sweet Bay for a modified Jacob’s Ladder. Starting with 15 burpees at the bottom and 3 WWIIs at the top, PAX then decreased/increased by 3 until those numbers flipped.

From the top of Sweet Bay, PAX then moseyed along the bike path to the bottom of the parking deck. At the bottom, PAX partnered up for an alternating partner carry all the way to the top, with the carrying partner concluding each ascent with 5 merkins and 10 BWS. At the top, PAX engaged in a double ring of fire, first merkins, then holding a people’s chair while each PAX did 5 BWS.

Mary:

After a Ricky Bobby back to the AO, PAX pursued the following:

LSF, Russian Hammer, LBCs, WWIIs, Blackball’s foot-chopping burpees, and Big Cat’s nameless pilates stretch.

Nice work by all!
