YHC pulled up to Okwata at 0527 (super early for me) to find Griswold patiently waiting. Tool pulled in hot, doing a donut in his Chevy long bed while chunking the shovel flag like a spear out of the window into the ground at our feet. YHC volunteered to Q, forgot the disclaimer and headed out.
The Thang
Warm up COP – SSH x 30; IW x 30; DQ x 15; LSS x 30
We then moseyed to the levee. YHC decided to run up the slickest part and close to face planted as I reached the top. From the top of the levee we completed a set of Quadraphiia* – four minutes of running down the levee forward and back up backwards. We ran up and down 7 or 8 times. I was shooting for 12, but that was some very poor estimating. There is an added degree of difficulty to Quadriphilia* on this levee due to the fresh sod.
*Found out Quadraphilia sounds remarkably similar to something Tool picked up during Spring Break back in the late 90s.
From there we moseyed along the top of the levee stopping to do a set of Jack Webbs – escalator from 1 to 10, merkins followed by air presses. At this point Tool questioned what the standard is for the last number in a Jack Webb. I think it is 10, but maybe that is up for debate.
After the Jack Webbs we moseyed to the bottom of the hill for some Mary: LBC x 40; Penguin x 20; Elbow Plank Jacks* x 20; Dying Cockroach x 20; Elbow Peter Parkers* x 15; Flutter Kicks x 20.
*This was the first time I have done Elbow Plank Jacks and Elbow PP (chuckle). I highly recommend them.
We followed Mary up with 10 hill sprints – sprint to the top of the hill and recovery jog back down, everyone stays together.
Mosey to the water’s edge for some arm work. 20 dips followed by another bad idea by YHC – decline merkins on the steps leading into Lake Pontchartrain x 9. Fortunately no one indeed up in the lake. We followed that with Incline Merkins a safe distance from the water x 6 (I didn’t think about how embarrassing that would be to write) and Squats x 20. Then it was time to Mosey back to the flag

We ended with a Shout Out.
Griswold has the flag for Saturday. Aye!
