Carry your Bricks Warm-O-Rama 5:15am disclaim the legal stuff and then stretch out a bit and a few SSH’s. Then off to mosey awhile to the backyard playground, circle up in the middle of the soccer field for Warmups. Hilly Billy Walkers, Imperial-Squat-Walkers, Merkins, Mtn Climbers and SSH’s. The Real Thang On the way off the soccer field, we found some monkey bars, everyone finds a bar and do 10 pull ups OYO. Onward to…
0So YHC was on deck for Crow’s Nest the day after the famous Lake Wylie Christmas Party, which he did not attend. But apparently a lot of others did so and to great enjoyment! Which is why we only had YHC and Speed Racer in the mix for boot camp and a couple of runners. So YHC fell back on some tried and true things that have worked before. Went like this: COP: SSH X…
0I seen this hill by Cannonball that we never use so I figured we would use it well today. I knew we wouldn’t break any Cuda rep count or mileage records but I was hoping we could take the elevation gain record today. The hill is about .72 miles from Cuda – it’s dark, it’s not very wide, the air is thick, and Crabbie said the cucumber smell could be attributed to nearby threatened copperheads.…
9Survey and I got there a few minutes early to talk over some strategy. The runners said they had a route to the bridge and back. There was four of them. Then I saw the guys start showing up. Pitch had an FNG with him as he promised. His name was Jason. Then about four minutes to go like nine more cars pulled in. It was party tome. Had a few visitors from Gastonia which…
1We had 5 out at the Bermuda Triangle including AP, Nemo, Shredder, Crabbie Cabbie, and me (Captain Jack). A storm had rolled through so the ground was damp and there was lightning in the distance. We started with a short mosey and the normal warm up exercises. Next, we went back to my van where we each picked out two paver bricks. Then we did an Eagle Wing with the bricks. This is a string…
0It was my first Q at Barracuda. I had some ideas about running and doing a set of exercises every 1/4 mile, but when my Q was pushed back to May 5, 2021, I figured why not celebrate Cinco de Mayo and get a little creative. So after a quick disclaimer, we ran to the intersection of Nautical Drive and Mill Pond Road. Each PAX was given a coloring sheet, a set of rules, crayons…
1The Bermuda Triangle certainly lived up to its name this morning. Out nowhere, a pretty strong storm popped up over the area about 4:30am setting the proper mood for one of the better AOs in the Carolinas. Heavy rain was brief and by go time, it was a balmy 59 degrees, 90 degree humidity and dew points in the upper 50’s. So I knew we’d be dealing with some impact from that. We only had…
0Five runners showed up slightly before 5 AM and launched. Shortly there after eight boot campers, including a York newbie Korn showed up to get some reps in. I gave a quick but thorough disclaimer we moseyed around the back of the school and did some side straddle hops, slow slow squats, mountain climbers and Merkins. We then moseyed over to a canopy area and did a lazy Dora that included partners splitting 100 reps…
1Cool brisk morning for nice speed work at the infamous ‘Cuda. Gave the traditional disclaimer, including the “watch out for cars” and we were off. About half of the pax were participating in this weekend’s Dam to Dam race, I made the workout easier to modify as needed for those who were in ‘tapering mode”. 1/2 mile mosey warm run to Arby’s THANG Starting at Arby’s, quarter mile interval stride (beginning about 50% of 5K…
2Started with a nice disclaimer and introduction of events today. 24 hours in advance Ice Bear and I worked out an agreement to Co-Q the morning. So just 5 minutes before the workout we settled on an order and took off. Mosey to other side of school. Warm O Rama: SSH, Windmills, Seal Jacks, Cherry Pickers, Imperial Walkers, Hillbilly Walkers. We then moseyed over to Broomsedge Drive in Paddler’s Cove… aka the “climbing out of…
