The park today decided to not open the gates till after 7, which for us plus other who were getting there early for dog park and other activities was annoying. 8 of us braved the humidity(decided to make its return big time) come out for a Mudslide Q. It’s been a little time since I led but in my mind, had it planned what’s to come…

Over to the secondary basketball court for the WARMARAMMA (SSHs, Dead Man Hands, Ukrainian Soldiers, Michael Phelps, Merkins, LBCs, a little more stretching). It was time to take off on the adventure…

First part, mini Dora (20 pull ups, 50 2-count flutters sitting on a bench, 75 calf raises) with the runner to the gate and back. A nice little warm up that was quick onto the next part.

A Mudslide Q usually has a regular Dora so guess what was next. Today did a little tweaking to it the usual 100 Merkins, 200 squats, 300 cross over mountain climbers(right leg to left, left to right). The lap around: side shuffles to the post, switch directions, on the way back Bernie to the start. Oyster enjoyed the shuffles, worked on his pickleball game.

Venture over to short part of the park for a 4 corners(straight up). 10 V-ups, 20 jump squats, 30 SSHs, 40 arm circles(a little voice was wanting those) After that, mosey to where we started for some 11s(ball dippers and monkey humpers). Once completed, a ring of fire then ended it with a little broga to close things out.

Numbers, names announcements and prayer led by YHC to close the day out.

Two things: I promised no burpees and came thru, also with Pepe he is just starting out so I wanted to not kill him plus make sure that he did not merlot(he didn’t). Overall not a bad day I wished the gates were open, that made things irritating cause we promised them we would not park near the farmer’s market today we had no other choice. Hopefully they get the situation taken care of a lot of people out today walking doing their thing plus with the sun rising after 6am, open the gates. A lot of events upcoming check Slack for details, from what I see on the schedule, a lot of shoes for those who want to Q next week both Rock and Roll and Goyne park look open. I am on one thing right now, the head of F3 was recently on the head of Spartan’s podcast and mentioned a free race. I am trying to get that or any help to get those who want to do the Super or Sprint in September the only thing if we get the free coffee is have to pay for the parking and other small fees(about $30 total). Anyone have an interest, let me know if they reach out asking how many want to give it a shot. I can let them know. See you next time!!
