Wasp and Cramps

Wasp and Cramps

This Q was cursed from the get go.

Conditions were perfect with a slight steam lifting off the blue.

PAX

Kilo, Starchild, Guppy, Glaucoma, Alexa, Thumbtack, Sadie, OJ

 

Warm up

200M freestyle

which is 8 pool lengths, at this point Sadie and Thumbtack looked at me with a bit of confusion.  “You want me to swim?”  Yea bro, welcome to BlueOps!!!

 

THANG1

2 Ladders

25%, 50%, 75%, 100% effort

increase after each length

midway through the second ladder, starchild screamed like a girl.  He was stung!!!  As he’s killing the wasp that stung him on the head, OJ is hit!   We were under attack. Obviously this took a bit of steam out of the Q…..

Wasp situation under control and we resumed.

 

THANG2

BlueOps Dora

Instead of running we swim down and back

50 T Merkins

100 Flutter kicks

 

THANG3

100 Jump Squats in the pool

 

THANG4

Big splash competition

one pax get out and jump off diving board for big splash.

everyone else tread water

 

We got through about 3 of us with Sadie in the lead.  Glauc hit the board and made a weak splash.  Everyone was getting their laughs in, when Glauc let out a “HELP”  hard to tell if he was serious or joking.  Upon the second “HELP” we rushed over to lift him to the ladder.  His calves locked up in an awful cramp.  It was crazy!  Took a solid minute for his cramps to calm down.

YHC called the workout at that point it was 0613 and we needed to get out of this cursed pool while we could.

Hopefully this week at BlueOps will be better!
