6/5 Backblast: Black Ops at Rough River

CONDITIONS: perfect.

PAX: Da Vinci (FNG), My Pleasure (2.0), Red Card (2.0), Ashley, Scratch-N-Dent (Q)

To keep this Rough River Black Op rough, I decided to make use of the natural terrain and some special features. My in-laws’ lake house is near an abandoned boat launch ramp. It is seriously steep. Steep enough that it is built with narrow-gauge railroad tracks and at the top is a decrepit boathouse with a giant winch to pull boats out of the water. The ramp is probably about 40 yards from the water line to the boat house, with a handy clearing to one side at the top. I wanted to find a way to make use of that hill! What better way than that classic crowd pleaser, a BLIMPS workout? Something for everyone here.

I welcomed everyone and gave the standard disclaimer.

We moseyed over the dock (about 1/4 mile)

Warmed up with 30x Forward Arm Circles IC, 30x Backward Arm Circles IC, 30x Abe Vigodas, Down Dog/Cobra stretch, 30x SSH.

THANG: Boat Ramp BLIMPS Ladder
We did each of the following exercises on the dock, ran up the boat ramp, and did the exercise again. Ran down the boat ramp, and did LBCs to wait for the six.
