4 SOP and 2 bundled for the weather started a beatdown that finished with a 7th player and a canine companion. It may have been the coldest day in RVA yet but I was happy to see 4 sets of bare knees running through the grounds of Timberwolf. The theme of the day was keep moving, stay warm.
Moving warm up around the parking lots and bus loops with stops for SSH, IW, Squats, merkins and some other stuff. Finish at the bottom of the entrance for Love Hill. Partner 1 runs to the parking lot, P2 moves up the hill with lunges, bear crawl, then broad jump burpees. Apparently the key to this one is to partner with Bullseye so he can bear crawl most of the hill to minimize the burpees.
Mosey around to the back of the school for a dark light pole alley variation. This is where Hermie and his canine companion show up. Between sleeping in and missing turns he was a little late but T-claps to him for showing up anyway. It was an excused tardy since he was shaken awake by NSFW escapades in the middle of the night. The variation of light pole alley is to do the exercise each time you pass a light pole. Stops included 10 of each – calf raises, squats, lunges, Freddies’, APD, merkins, CDD, SSH. Finish up with some shoulder taps to close out the morning.
Vehicle reporting temperatures ranged from 14-18 – no matter what the actual temperature, we can all agree it was cold and we are all better for pushing through. It’s been too long since I’ve been to Timberwolf, I almost forgot how to get there and the new roundabout surprised me. Thanks for posting and the opportunity to lead you gentlemen around in the gloom.
Announcements-
Nancy Lopez is organizing the GLOW run – see slack post. This is much better than an earth day run because you get a T-shirt and a sweatshirt for your entry fee.
