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!
