T-claps to Jingle Vader who saw his NOLA record of 17 straight posts come to an end at Okwata this morning. Rumor has it he is out of town. I would also like to note that, although not nearly as impressive, YHC’s streak of 10 straight fartsacks also came to an end.
The Thang
YHC gave the disclaimer as Bubba rolled in hot to make a JV-less pax of 5. We moseyed around the Mardis Gras Fountain and selected a nice mushy area where there had obviously been some sort of monster truck competition for our Warm-up COP: SSH x 30; IW x 30; Don Quixote x 15; LSS x 30; Arm Circles Foward x 15 and Reverse x 15
We then moseyed to the top of the levee where we prepared for some Quadraphilia. I saw this once in some old back blasts, but they never explained what it was, just that it was awful. Fortunately, it was recently defined on the exercise page, so it made it’s Okwata debut this morning
Quadraphilia – Run down the hill forward and up the hill backwards. Continue for four minutes. #crowdpleaser
We then moseyed along the top of the levee stopping right before Canal Blvd. Here we ran down the levee forward and back up backwards once more to get our mind right for some push-a-rama
Merkins x 10, Wide-Merkins x 10, Diamond Merks x 10, Stagger Left Merks x 10, and Stagger Right Merks x 10. Rinse and repeat for a total of 100 reps.
We recovered and headed to the Lake Okwata aka Pontchartrain. Here it was every man for himself as we grabbed some ledge and did 100 dips OYO. (Note to self: this is harder than I thought).
After a 10 second rest as we waited on the 6:00 am Lakeshore Dr. traffic, it was back up to the top of the levee for some Triple Nickel
Triple Nickel: Run to the bottom of the levee and perform 5 reps of said exercise, run back up to the top for 5 more reps. All running is forward this time. We did 5 sets varying the exercises (Burpees, Lunges – 5 each leg, Merkins, Burpees, four count flutter kicks).
Then it was 100 LBC’s OYO and back to the flag.
Shout Out
Continued prayer’s for OSHA’s wife. We also prayed for the family of Monte Williams after the death of his wife Ingrid.
We also took it upon ourselves to rename Fountain.
