Seven hardy men joined YHC at Hanes Park for this week’s Conspiracy.  Here’s what went down.

Warmarama

SSHs, down/up dog combo, calf & quad stretches, Whirlies

The Thang:

Mosey to Pilot View (lots of mumble chatter).  Mosey up to Jersey.  Pax were instructed to partner up for a grinder.  Partner A runs down to Carolina and back up; partner B knocks out reps.  You vs. you.  Each partner was required to complete 70 reps of each exercise.

 

Exercises were:

  • Jump Squats
  • Hand-release Merkins
  • American Hammers (double-count)
  • Imperial Storm Squats
  • Diamond Merkins
  • Heels to Heaven
  • Monkey Humpers
  • Merkins
  • Crunchy Frogs
  • Burpees

Mosey home.  Burpees until time.

Time.

Announcements:

  • The Shmed is the last weekend of August, 8/27 & 8/28. Following the completion of The Shmed, Shmedfest returns!  The third workout (7:30 am on the 28th) will be a fun run & 5K officiated by Twin City Track Club.

COT:

  • Keith Vest, Boo Boo’s brother-in-law, is having scans today. Keith had life-saving therapy for metastatic cancer a couple of years ago.  Today is also Keith’s birthday.
  • YHC took us out praying for Keith and giving thanks for the ability to exercise together.

NMM:

  • “I’ve got a bad feeling about this.” So said Red Baron as we moseyed out of the launch and headed down West End.  YHC had a bad feeling about it too that was realized.  Each man rose to the occasion and crushed this workout and are better for it.
  • Burns had Qed this workout back in the winter at Mayhem and intimated that he intended to run it back today. YHC shamelessly poached it; call it a conspiracy.  Changes included substituting monkey humpers for double-count lunges (jeez!) and Pilot View for the Hill to Nowhere(!).
  • Lamb Chop was given the choice between running Pilot View from Carolina to Jersey or Jersey to Summit. He chose Carolina to Jersey.  Each pax got in ~15 runs, which equates to about 6,000 feet of elevation gain.
  • YHC Omahaed diamond merkins and hand-release merkins to 50 reps. Razzie chimed in with, “That’s the first good thing you’ve said this workout.”  All pax but Red Baron were thankful as he had already completed his 70 of each when notified of the changes.  Red Baron came closest to completing all exercises.
  • “Who made you mad?”, Cherry Pie asked. No one; just didn’t want him to feel like he wasted his time and should have stayed home doing arm swirly thingys.
  • Boo Boo was YHC’s partner. He did a great job pounding out the reps.  He was so focused on getting back to the exercises, however, that he neglected to notify YHC that he had finished his run.
  • Post Hole was incredulous at seeing the weinke but looked exceptionally strong this morning, cruising up Pilot View each time it was his turn to run.
  • On YHC’s audio recording of the COT, Mutton could be heard ringing out his shirt. There was a torrent of sweat hitting the ground.  “Mutton Falls” was the only thing we heard from the War Daddy today as he quietly took care of business.

Thanks, Lamb Chop, for the keys.  They were washed into the sewer at Jersey by Mutton’s perspiration.
