Helix rips the seam

0600 found YHC starting a veeeery slow solo warmerama having stayed up too late last night. There was at least one HC, so nothing exciting happened until Mountain Oyster arrived a few minutes later. It rained hard last night and the misty sunrise was a beautiful rosy orange glow as we ran down the gravel road hill, and went a little further than usual to a playground in Jordan Valley. A few rounds of upper body reps completed – pullups, derkins, dips – then variable movements and sprint back to the top where the small soccer field is. Polesmokers and oblique LBC burnout, then mosey to the gym’s concrete stoop for dirty hookups, donkey kicks, and wall sits + hoedowns. 0615, mosey back to the start point, to find NoGrass and Mojang waiting. Welcome!!! Back down the hill to the playground, stopping for a x10 burpee “breather” halfway there. Upon completion, hold Al Gore, and when we dropped to Helix there was quite a loud rip as Mountain Oyster’s shorts inseam chose the perfect moment to permit his mountain oysters some breathing room. The beatdown almost ended there with the amount of laughter and mumble chatter than ensued, but YHC prevailed and we continued to the playground for a quadruple check. Pullups, derkins, dips, and the moving partner runs across to the far end for x3 burpees before retuning to switch. x4 round completed. Variable movement back to the top, some preferring to run in FRONT of Mtn Oyster so as to avoid the “view”. ? Then 5 minutes of Mary to go: pole-smokers, kimchi twists, LBC’s, and partnered up for dying-boxing cockroaches… 0645 hits, that’s TIME! COT: numbers, names, NoGrass took us out in prayer. Solid beatdown today – WAY harder with good company to spur the imagination. Still waiting for one of these warriors to take the Q, but all good things with time. Yours, DTH
