Six iron wielding luge riders braved subzero temps and breakneck ice to start the week off with a nod to Rod. Bottom line: Everest has nothing on Mt Chaplain. Here’s banana shenanigans for ya:
The THANG:
WARMERAMA:
- Mosey lap WITH bells and circle up
- Welcome & Disclaimer
- PLAY “Heavy Bells” by RVA’s own J.Roddy Walston and the Business (3:53). For the duration of the song the PAX squat to the beat with KB racked in front, then complete a KB burpee for every “Heavy Bells” (x24) throughout the song. Super warm.
COP #1:
- Mosey over to Love Hill for TURKISH LIGHT POLES
- At each light complete a T.Getup, but once the KB is overhead, mosey/walk to the next light to complete the TG going to the ground, and then start the next TG with other hand to get the KB back overhead, to then carry agin overhead to next light, etc
- Down to bottom of Love Hill, freak out the skid-steer driver, and back up to the top
COP #2:
- Pull off Love Hill onto a lovely patch of ice and plank it up in line for THE FROZEN TUNNEL OF LOVE. Last PAX belly slides with his KB to the front to plank.
- x2 Rounds completed
COP #3:
- Mosey around to mid-way slope of Mt Chaplain for the PAX to penguin slide down the slope. (while most KB’s survived the journey, Snip’s Trans-KB shattered the plastic handle after a beautiful launch over pavement. Good thing LWoods came prepared with a 2nd KB)
- PAX were then directed to use their KB’s to ICE-CLIMB MT CHAPLAIN – slam the KB ahead of you through the ice to create a purchase for hand/foot, and ascend the sheer ice face to the top. Phew!
- Lawnmower Pulls for the SIX
COP #4:
- Mosey BTTTaco for a few rounds of PASS THE KB
- Standing, Side lift to Overhead press, then pass, x10 IC then repeato other direction
- Seated, Side lift to WWII Press, then pass, x10 IC then repeato other direction
- Plank, Pull Through pass, x10 IC then repeato other direction
GRAND FINALE:
- Using KB as ice-breaker and anchor, PAX ascended topmost knoll of Mt Chaplain, which is quite steep and required great intestinal fortitude to achieve the summit, which all PAX (eventually) did!
- KB and Belly slide to bottom. FUN!
BTTF for COT:
- Counterama # 6
- Namerama
- Announcerama (see Below)
- BOM Prayer
- Amaaaazing Snuff Coffee!!!!
NMS: Is it possible to get a great workout while keeping everyone safe on lethal ice AND have a ton of fun doing new stuff?!? YES. This was another one for the all-time favorite F3 memory bank. And if you haven’t started your week with the image seared into your mind of a starkly nude Snuff, hard and white as African ivory, timing his perfect-form pullups for his M to walk in on him… well you just ain’t livin! The NOS sauce is getting good, REALLY good. Keep posting gents. Yours AYE! ~DTH
