WARMUP. SSH, Whirlies, Michael Phelps (unless you’re a sado-masichist whose name rhymes with Berry Cry) while making our way to Pilot View via the Intimadator
BEATDOWN.
Mosey to the bottom of Pilot View.
Run up Pilot View and each time an intersection is crossed, perform the following exercises:
- West End Blvd: 10 Burpees
- Carolina Ave: 25 WWIIs
- Jersey Ave: 10 WMDs
- Summit St: 25 Iron Mikes
- Broad St: 50 Heels to Heaven
Run back down Pilot View, repeating the exercises. At the bottom, after completing the burpees, do Mountain Climbers for the six.
Round 1: West End to Carolina to West End
Round 2: West End, Carolina, Jersey, Carolina, West End
Round 3: West End, Carolina, Jersey, Summit, Jersey, Carolina, West End
Round 4: West End, Carolina, Jersey, Summit, Broad, run back down
DONE.
RANDOM THOUGHTS FROM ZIMA:
- Lamb Chop dances funny. He calls it Iron Mikes, but go ahead and watch him next time. The sunrise presented the perfect backdrop as he was silhouetted on the crest of Pilot View at Summit while hopping around. That dose of entertainment was much more pleasant than the suck of running up PV.
- I feel bad for Red Baron, Cherry Pie, and Greenspan (all were bored and not fatigued in the least). I intentionally held them back while I was sucking wind by not telling them what was next and making them wait at the bottom of Pilot View. If I hadn’t done that, I’m convinced they could have fully finished the workout AND more. You’ve heard it before and you’ll hear it again – they dominated the beatdown.
- In related news, the group completed 3 full rounds, made it to all of the way up on round #4, but then due to time constraints, had to redline it back to the launch spot without stopping for exercises.
- Ponch, visiting from Lake Norman, is a beast. I mean an actual beast. He’s about 7’3” and rocks at least 375lbs of muscle. This dude packed on his weight vest that tipped the scales at the poundage of multiple small children for the ENTIRE workout. Read that again. He wore it for 4 trips UP Pilot View plus a mini warmup on the Intimidator.
- Palin talked a lot and tried to explain Thistle counting to the visitor.
- Schlitz thinks he needs a new neighbor. Factoid: Palin is his neighbor who clown car’ed with him.
- I tried to ask Spittoon a question a few times, but each time I looked up from my exercises, he was gone. Either he was gliding up PV or he was purposely hiding from me (highly probable).
- Mutton is setting himself up for a nice payday by talking shop with Palin. With all the money Palin is going to owe him, he’s going to be able to get frequent steroid shots in his knee from BALCO and they’ll both be sailing on new yachts soon.
- The brain trust (and I use that term very loosely) of Lamb Chop and Cherry Pie (henceforth shall be known as “a full meal”) have submitted a request to retire this workout (3rd time’s a charm). The Q has passed along the request to upper management. It will be considered and a response will be given at management’s convenience.
- Just to give an idea of how strong this group was, at almost every intersection (but not WWIIs because let’s be real), I was the SIX and damn proud of it. The boys turned it on!! They didn’t get up for easy. No softies. No quitters.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
- The Shmed is August 28. Volunteers are needed. Important note: There is NO 2am workout.
- ROCC 5K at River Oaks this Saturday. If you do a triple down (Supermax + Alcatraz + 5K), Van Gogh will donate $33 to City Lights Ministries.
- F3Dads retreat. Google it.
PRAYERS:
- Lamb Chop’s IVF thing.
Ponch took us out.
Zima Out.
