YHC has a few Obstacle Course Races coming up, and thought it might be fun to mix in some heavy carries (which are often an obstacle). YHC also wanted to mix in some AMRAP, so why not use one to pace the other?! Makes for a great non-running beatdown, plus it’s easy enough to Q! Better not forget the music though….

NMM

• Almost a Q fail at the beginning explaining what we were going to do with the PAX
• Originally the PAX thought each exercise was to be done at each station, so
• Pizza box cardboard saved the day, YHC almost forgot them
• Definitely not on @Goofy’s level of cardboard though…
• @SourMash was absent, despite @Sassy and YHCs best attempts to get him to post!
• The Site Q, @SgtSchultz was also missed, who was either out of town, or just got back… the word “been” he used confused YHC.
• YHC provided tunes, not a whole lot of MC was heard
• Did get to talk to @Shake-N-Bake a good bit, found out he actually works in the same building as me!
• Nice to meet @RescueAnnie, who is one tough dude
• Two #WeFoCo workouts in a row seeing @Vegemite… I repeat again, get this guy to Q!
• By far the most interesting thing to occur that morning was @Whirly doing Warm-o-rama, getting through his carries at Station 10, and then running to his car and saying he was going to Bojangles… when you gotta go you gotta go… I’ll assume it was for one of their awesome Biscuits though!
• @Whirly came back just as we completed round 1, and we had him go right back to station 10 for more carries!
• @Boomerang was the first to leave the curb for the picnic tables to do dips… YHC wondered when that would happen. Short, pulse dips can be effective for a burn, but are also a bit uncomfortable.
• @ZiggyStardust has been working through some lung related issues the past few months and was excited at the prospect of trying out his new inhaler this morning, though I don’t know if he needed it though, he was looking strong this AM!
• We got through two laps of our workout this AM. If this format is used again, YHC will have two carry stations, to ensure a watch doesn’t need to be used to rotate if short of 10. 90-120s made for an approximate rotation.
• Good work this morning, some heavy carries are a good workout for the core and grip, and not something we do too often… hope you enjoyed it as much as YHC!
