The Q sheet was open at 5pm yesterday…

3

9 stalwarts, including one unhappy camper, assembled in the Heartbreak Ridge parking lot to see what would be in store for the morning. Wary of YHC grabbing the Q when it was open late yesterday, the Pax knew in their bones what to expect before even seeing the laminated Weinke. Here’s how it went… more or less.
COP: Invisible jump rope, Russian soldiers, Merkins (slow up, slow down), storm squats

Mosey to the track for the Lucky Horseshoe.Do a lap of the track and do 20 of the marked exercises on laminated card corresponding to that lap number. Complete everything you can in 33 minutes.
Lap 1 – Merkins
Lap 2 – Merkins, Storm Squats (to clear up any ongoing confusion, each storm squat rep = [1st leg -> squat -> 2nd leg -> squat])
Lap 3 – Merkins, Storm Squats, Scorpion Dry Docks
Lap 4 – Merkins, Storm Squats, Scorpion Dry Docks, WWII Situps
Lap 5 – Merkins, Storm Squats, Scorpion Dry Docks, WWII Situps, In-place Lunges (to clear up any ongoing confusion, 20 each leg)
Lap 6 – Storm Squats, Scorpion Dry Docks, WWII Situps, In-place Lunges
Lap 7 – Scorpion Dry Docks, WWII Situps, In-place Lunges
Lap 8 – WWII Situps, In-place Lunges
Lap 9 – In-place Lunges
Lap 10 – Victory Lap

Moleskin

– YHC was hurting after this one — took a lot longer than normal for heart rate to recover, and after showering this morning YHC FELL ASLEEP for 45 min before getting back up to get ready and go to work.
– That old man who was running the the whole time must have passed each of us 3-4x on the track… he was a machine. But Opus, who must have been sandbagging the first two laps, suddenly sped up and moved ahead of everyone. Well done, and glad to have you visiting us, Opus!
– Just as Mr. Holland (before he moved) would bring Sisyphus to Twin Team if someone doesn’t step up by Thursday evening, that’s exactly what happened this morning. Since it was on hiatus from HR for a year + 6 days, many in the Pax today had never experienced the Lucky Horseshoe before, but we all got our fill today. Most of the crowd seemed to agree this workout is a good thing for us, and the suggestion to do it again in 2 months was a good one

  1. Good work this morning, everyone! Excellent form by everyone on the merkins and squats! I am fully expecting to be sore tomorrow…

  2. Thanks for grabbing the Q and for getting me to cross the river! Good to meet some new pax like Red Tape.

    But I’m still not sure who Alex Bruster is… but apparently we have mutual friends on Facebook?
