09/02/17 Old Bay’s backblast from the #mutt #getbetter #F3Louisville

They walked.  They biked.  They aggressively sauntered.  They drove cars from 250 yards away.  Hell, Tiger’s Tahoe was on 2 wheels when he pulled into his parking spot.  13 souls braved the elevated temperatures and arid conditions for the Labor Day beat down at the Mutt.  QIC: Old Bay.  PAX: MadCow, JellyFinger (FNG), Quimby, Mouth, DoubtFire, Geppetto, Handy Manny, Moonlight, Zealander, Kidnapper Van, Tiger, Backdraft.  Here’s how it went down:

Mosey around the school, dropping off your jumprope by the Portico…a tease for later.

COP

• 20 SSH IC
• 10 count leg stretch x 4
• 10 Squat jabs
• 10 up/backs, or Standing Saturday Nights
• 10 Chillicuts, from plank to elbow plank, back to plank
• 10 Sumo Squats

Mosey around to Father Mark’s house

Thang 1, partner up, 4 AMRAP circuits of 4 minutes each.

• HIM 1= run, 5 merkins, run back.  HIM 2= ABCs and 123s (on your 6, making every letter of the alphabet and 1-26 in a leg lift position.  I quickly learn I hate this).  Switch.
• HIM 1= run, 5 jump squats, run back.  HIM2= round-the-clock-merkins.  Switch.
• HIM 1= run, 3 inch worm merkins, run back.  HIM 2= LBCs.  Switch.
• HIM 1= run, 5 Austin ass-kicker merkins (merkin, raise L arm and R leg, merkin, raise R arm and L leg, repeato).  HIM 2= Hold Al Gore.  Switch.

I feel my legs beginning to fail, but we forward on.  Yes, forward is a verb.  Head to the curb across from Portico, and partner up with someone new.  3 AMRAP circuits of 4 minutes each.

• HIM 1= Jump rope.  HIM 2= Bearkins (merkin, 10 step bear crawl, merkin, repeato) across lot, run back.  Switch.
• HIM 1= Jump rope alternating legs.  HIM 2= Sprint across lot, 10 count fast feet up/down on curb, sprint back.  Switch.
• Him 1= Jump rope, “If there was ever a time to do double-unders, that time is now”. HIM 2= Sprint across lot, 10 jump touches on wall, high as you can.  Switch.

I’m definitely feeling woozy at this point, but we have 7 minutes left, the perfect amount of time for a caterpillar.

• PAX forms 2 lines facing each other.  Everyone down in plank position.  Last PAX gets up, leapfrogs everyone that is down in plank to the front of the line, and then gets down in plank.  Then the next guy gets up and jumps over the group.  Repeato until smoked.

Head back to the flag.  Count-O-Rama, Name-O-Rama.  Welcome to FNG JellyFinger.  He’s an OB-GYN…..yep.  Breit drew the 6, explained DoubtFire is because he dominates as a stay at home dad, and occasionally wears a fat suit like Robin Williams in the movie.  Prayers for strength for those fighting floods, cancer, and other adversity.  Prayers to recognize the good in this world.  Prayers to be safe when you drink those 74 beers this weekend.  T-Claps to Kidnapper Van for keeping a killer pace.  T-Claps to JellyFinger for his debut in less than ideal weather.  T-Claps to the whole PAX for getting better today.

And F You to whoever came up with ABCs/123s and Bearkins.   Carpe Weekend Gents!!

Old Bay out-ski.
