Magnificent 7 at SOT

6 F3 RVA warriors and one familiar visitor from downrange in Huntersville, NC posted on this cool but humid August morning to get the sweat rolling.  It went something like this:

Mosey from the parking lot to the track and 2 laps around for a 1/2 mile warm-up.  Circle up in the asphalt area behind the end-zone for COP (though YHC saw the high-jump bar and mat and was tempted)

COP (all IC):

• SSHs x20
• DQ x10
• Imperial Walkers x15
• Helicopters x10
• LBCs x20

Mosey down the track to about the 50-yard line for a set of Lindsey’s (40s) beginning with 30 merkins and 10 box cutters, run around the track to the other side of the 50-yard line on and continue Lindsey’s adding/subtracting 5 (25 merkins, 15 box cutters)…repeato until down to 10 merkins and 30 box cutters.  Al Gore for the six.

Mosey over to the tennis courts for Suicide-palooza, including forward, bear crawl, backward and side shuffle – with planks and some mary in between rounds, including flutter kicks, Freddie Mercuries and American Hammers.

Grab a pole on the hill by the tennis courts for some pole smokers Native American run style with PAX holding six inches and end-man doing 10 pole smokers then running to end of the line.  After all PAX complete 1 round, we did 10 more pole smokers OYO.

Mosey over and around bus loop with a brief pit stop on the curb for 10 incline merkins in cadence.  Continue around the bus loop and back to the flag with 3 minutes to spare.  Finish up with 10 Burpees OYO and 10 LBCs in cadence.

2.2 miles in total by YHC’s watch today.

COT, number-rama, name-a-rama and YHC took us out.

Way to push through today guys – especially Doogie and Carmen.  Always great to have Mini Me in town.  He was the War Daddy today and absolutely crushed it.  Nice work.  Also, very strong effort by Sparky – personally, I fear the day when this guy starts Qing because I know he is going to bring the pain.  Another solid effort by Honeymoon and Marmaduke –  Honeymoon seems to be picking up the speed heading into BRR.  Nice job guys.

An honor to lead this group this morning.

No more Gumbo for you!
