6:05 am … 56 degrees … summit of the Mountain … sunrise over downtown … glorious …
But first, the pain —
The Pax was aimlessly waiting for the Q as YHC rolled in hot at 5:30 sharp. Quick disclaimer on the move and we were off to the Loyola lawn for a warmup:
- SSH x25 (IC)
- Hillbillies x25 (IC)
- Parker Peter x20 / Plankjack x20 (IC)
- Burpees x10 (OYO)
Short mosey to the benches for a COP all IC:
- Decline shoulder taps x10 / Derkins x 5 / Decline shoulder taps x 10 / Derkins x5
- R side step up x20
- Dips x15
- L side step up x20
- Dips x15
Hustle over to base camp and work our way up the Mountain doing BLIMPS, with a stop at each end of the deck:
- Burpees x5
- Lunges x10 (each leg)
- IW x15 (each leg)
- Merkins x20
- Plankjacks x25
- Squats x30
By the time we got to the top, we had made it up to “P” on the second set. T-claps to those able to do another round of S, B, and L, while waiting for the six.
Partner up with PAX 1 running all the way down the first staircase and lunging up the second. PAX 2 stayed on top of the Mountain doing LBC (about 150+). Flapjack, then repeat the loop, except with PAX 1 running up the second staircase and PAX 2 doing Mountain Climbers (about a billion).
Run back to the flag and arrive just in time for an impromptu 30-count Mission Impossible.
Count, name-or-rama, and prayer. Sign up for the GrowRuck. If the fitness, fellowship, and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get trained by an ex-Seal isn’t enough to entice you, do it for the free T-shirt.
Great time this morning. Appreciate the opportunity to lead.
