Looks outside at the house, heres the patter of rain, cusses under his breath, walks outside, feels nothing but dry and 47 degrees. That’s a win.

The Thang:

After some Amy Grant mumble chatter, we headed out of the parking lot and straight into a dead end. Not a good start to the workout. Circled back and headed toward the school. Twas a good thing because Porcelain rounded it about the same time as we did. The dead-end saved him some searching.

Warm-O-Rama

Good Mornings X 10, Willie Mays Hayes X 20, SSH X 30, Squat w/ thrusters X 30, Imperial Walkers X 20, BBAC, maybe something else thrown in. It was time to go.

Mosey around the back of the school to what I can only describer as the car-rider circle in front of the gym. The circle driveway was perfect for paying homage to the finale of the Olympic games. And like any good Olympics, we started with a time trial. Took us 57 sec to loop the circle. This was a number we needed to stay in the green with when hitting our splits.

After some discussion on the Olympic ring colors, it was finalized it was blue, yellow, black, green and red. Our workouts would follow these colors. And our reps were determined by the amount of medals won by the US. Luckily it was a paltry 23 or this thing could have turned into a real smoker.

First up was 23 burpees, followed by another lap. If we did not beat our time of 57 sec, the burpees would double on the next trip. We made this next trip by just a few seconds. After a quick warning to the pax that we were close, we settled in for the next exercise round.

23 burpees and 23 Y-Ups. Followed by another lap. This would continue with us each time adding an exercise. The ultimate exercises were Burpees, Y-Ups, Big Boy Sit-Ups, Groiners, and Reverse Burpees.

Upon completion, mosey back to the parking lot via Indian Run.

Moleskine:

Not gonna lie, this workout snuck up on the pax, including the Q. YHC tried not to be too offended when Porcelain said he wore long sleeves because he wasn’t fearing a Princess Aurora smoke show. He was however smoked and I will not forget that comment. Ever.

Bullhorn:

First Friday lunch this week 11:30 at Cookery.  Be there before CCR finishes all the Australian Down Under Meat Bonanzas.
