Too Easy

Too Easy

QIC: Frostbite

Date: 10/30/2024

PAX: @Schlitz (EC), @Greenspan (EC), @Tar Heel (EC), @$5 Footlong (EC), @Frank&Beans, @Trickle (WB), @Bagpipe, @Spicoli (WD), @Frostbite, (QiC, YHC)

Twas the morning gloom before Halloween and I had the keys to #Conspiracy…. spoooooky.

YHC devised a scary plan incorporating the petrifying hills that surround this great #AO. A few #HIMs were fearless and got in some EC miles promptly at 0500. YHC did not.

We started off with 7 PAX and here is how it went:

Warmarama:

SSH – 20 x IC

IST – 10 x IC

Copperhead Squats – 10 x IC

Abe Vigoda – 6 x IC

Whirleys – 10 x IC

Arm Swirlys (F/R) – 5 x IC

Seal Claps – 5 x IC

OH Claps – 5 x IC

Michael Phelps – 5 x IC

PAX started to not count so we moved on to the thanggggg.

The Thang: 1 (West End –> Carolina)

Have you ever experienced the daunting Intimidator?

Upon arrival, peering up this steep hill and thought to yourself, “oh no no no,” “I could be sleeping right now”

Yeah? Well… YHC did not oblige those thoughts…

Bottom of intimidator: 10 merkins.

Run up to Carolina Ave: 3 Burpees.

Run down: 10 squats

Run Up to Carolina: 3 Burpees

Run Down: 10 WW2s (this is where @Bagpipe and @Spicoli simultaneously join us!)

Run up to Carolina: 3 burpees

Burpees for the 6 each set.

This got the blood pumping and heart rate up, but eh I think we can be more frightened.

Mosey over to Pilot View via Carolina Ave.

The Thang 2: (Carolina –> Jersey)

Carolina Ave : 10 Mike Tysons

Run up to Jersey: 3 Lunges DC

Run down: 10 Monkey Humpers

Run up to Jersey: 3 Lunges DC

Run Down: 10 Alabama Prom Dates

Run up to Jersey: 3 Lunges DC

Lunges for the 6 each set

MC was at an all time high about making our way up to the top of Pilot View near St Paul’s. Oh, you wait — of course we can’t complete terrifying hills without at least seeing the tip!

Mosey on to Parking Lot on the right hand side across from St Paul’s

The Thang 3: (Pilot View –> Summit)

DORA:

75 Mike Tysons

100 Jump Squats

150 LBCs

Partner 1 stays in parking lot and completes AMRAP. Partner 2 moseys up to Summit and back down. Flapjack.

Pick up the 6 in whatever way you wanted.

Mosey on home. No time for Mary!

TIME!

NMM:

The hair-raising, blood-curdling, spine-chilling workout was complete! 3 steep steep hills. 2.62 miles covered. “Vintage” came to the mind of @Greenspan

@Bagpipe made light work of the Dora. I had the blessing to run with him during this portion, and man his motivation “It’s too easy, Let’s go, You Got This” is a great way to get through that hell. He is flying through all the #AOs and checking them off 1 by 1. YHC must not have made it hard enough for him as he preceded to head to the Y across the street afterwards. Noted.

@Spicoli ran on @Spicoli time but rest assured powered his way through

@Tar Heel @Schlitz @Greenspan @$5 may have regretted their decision to get an EC run in. @Tar Heel was out front all morning. Manly St can still suck it @Schlitz

@Frank&Beans was steady as can be flying through the workout. He runs a great #AO and always a pleasure to be with him

@Trickle got some wheels on him and kept the MC at an all time high

All #PAX disregarded the “DO NOT ENTER” street sign (for cars) on Pilot View –> Jersey route. Enter at your own risk…

Announcements:

@Trickle has his VQ at #Conspiracy in 2 weeks.

@Wahoo has his VQ at #VI in 2 weeks.

@$5 has the Q at #UA in 2 weeks.

Thus, your workouts for the week are set!

@Trickle has a birthday this weekend! Celebrations will happen at Joyners Saturday PM

Mark your calendars for F3WS’s Holiday party!! December 6th. 6pm-9pm (nice!). Bar Nola. Come out for the festivities! Drinks for purchase, celebrations, food! What better way to get in the holiday spirit? Hope to see you there! (If you want to help plan/coordinate — let @Schlitz or I know!)

Happy Hour (and a half) next Thursday. Location TBD but sounds like free drinks may be involved! See Slack for more deets.

Prayers:

All new and old parents especially our own @Pollster who welcomed Henry over the weekend

@Schlitz and family dealing with 2.0’s sickness

@Spicoli charged us all to find joy and happiness in life-giving ways. #TAPs for those dealing with addiction.

Always an honor to have the Q and appreciate each one of you. @F&B — keys are somewhere on Pilot View.

All the love,

Frostbite
