Craigslist Hook Ups

February 18, 2019/in Downtown Train /QIC: Nemo
PAX: Da Business, Deadbolt, Flanigan, Nemo, Yogurt

Monday accountability is tough. Week 2 for Downtown Train and looking forward to continuing to learn more about the site.

2 for EC as Deadbolt joined YHC and took off at 0505 for a 2+ mile out and back to the pole at 55, with Cemetery Hill providing the early challenge, and evidence of some sidewalk flooding of measurable depth and flow (Deadbolt might need to install a FIMAN gage in the area until they are done with construction).

Warm Up: On the jog for what will be the regular w/u route, circle up back at the start for a run through of the classics followed by extra time to stretch the arms.
The Workout: On the jog around the traffic circle and to the rocks. Selected a rock of good size for a high intensity, high rep workout. John Cusack over to the back side of the library lot. Settled in and there was somewhat of a routine. 4 rounds. Each round we did 4 sets. Between each set we did a 10 count to recover. Between each round we went on the jog across the lot, squat hold for the six and a 10 count, followed by SSH ICx30, 40 then 50 (anyone detecting a trend – I like keeping the PAX moving with the SSH). The rounds were as follows:

curl 21s – a 7-7-7 IC set of curl motions with no rest between the 7s
tricep overheads and tempo dips both ICx10
ground pounders and push outs both ICx10
weighted tempo squats ICx10 and squat to star jumps 10 count

Somewhere in the middle of these sets we had a traffic issue as a slow moving vehicle passed through as if they were dropping off books in the off hour drop slot. Kept moving and soon we saw a black durango roll through. The 2 vehicles seemed to each make a couple laps around and we thought they were sad clowns thinking about joining us. They never connected but sure looked like they were looking for each other. Who would have thought the downtown library was an early morning meet up for craigslist hook ups?

Return the rocks and on the jog to start

Mary: Plank-o-rama and we stayed in a plank all the way around – you don’t need to be on your six to be a real man when you are doing Mary.
Announcements: Great time to look at Q signup sheet and get in the mix.
Prayer: Moby’s dad and family, UTI’s dog, Shredder on the mend, and unspoken, Yogurt took us out

PAX of 18 braved another frozen morning for the 2nd edition of a VQ from YHC. YHC cracked open the Exicon once more for a little variety, but not too much.

The clock struck 5:15 and 3 PAX headed out for a 2 mile EC loop: Cowboy, Double Doink, and YHC.

Warm Up:

YHC gave brief instructions to PAX to keep arms out on the mosey while doing Sir Fazio arm circle repeats (5 fw/5 bw/5 hold). PAX reluctantly did their best airplane impression and 3-2-1 blast off for the warm up lap around the soccer field. A few stops along the way for:
20 SSH
15 Imperial Walkers
10 Hillbillies

Circled up on tennis court for:
10 Windmills IC
15 Morocan Night Clubs

The Workout:

With shoulders warm, PAX lined up on the sideline of the court for some Bottom Feeders (Tiny 11’s). It looked like this:
Bear crawl to other baseline
10 prisoner squats
Crawl bear back to start
1 WWII
This continued in normal 11’s fashion until 1 prisoner squat and 10 WWIIs were done.

Next, PAX split into 2 groups for some BTTW Bear crawl tunnels. Each group lined up and held BTTW against the fence. The last PAX in the line bear crawled through the tunnel to the front and held BTTW. Each group worked its way to opposite ends of the court and back, well 1 group did. The other group’s bridge collapsed, with no causulties, and the mission was aborted.

PAX moseyed over by the rock pile for some Jack Webbs. PAX went from 1 merkin:3 air presses up to 10:30.

Rocks were obtained and carried to the parking lot.
John Cusack rock around the lot with stops at the 4 corners for Wonder Bras. Starting with 5 at the first stop and adding 5 at each stop, ending with 20 at the last stop. Rocks were returned and PAX moseyed to the tennis courts for a date with Mary.
