Tag: Batteau

Five frosty faithful came out to Batteau for the first day of spring to find sub-freezing winter temps. Flatline planted the flag and off we went:

COP: SSH, Don Qs, Imperial Walkers, Ukrainian Soliders, Merkins, and Reverse Crunches.

Over to field bowl for 11s of Merkins and WWIIs. Run up and down between. Mosey over to lake path and do various exercises at each lamp post. Exercises of HRMs, Squats, LBCs, Burpees, etc. Make way back up hill to flag. 3 min of mary and 10 more burpees.

NMS: Good to Q with a solid 5 pax. This morning felt Old School with all veteran pax. Congrats to Flatline for passing his Army APFT test. He was lapping dude half his age apparently. EF Hutton kept us moving by farting every time we were stationary an required a relocation. Plenty of mumblechatter about baskeball and brackets, congrats to the CNU Pirates for winning the D-III Championship.

A party of 1 arrived at Batteau. Ready to take on the morning. No dog walkers or even a sketchy car idling on the side of the road to witness. No witnesses. Here’s what went down.

WARMARAMA:
SSH

The Thang:
Run down to the lake…. It’s dark, raining and YHC is solo. Seems like the intro to a True Crimes Podcast. Leave the lake and back to the top. What’s that noise, run faster.

According to the Q sheet, today was going to be a Hot Potato. Let’s do it.

Oyster starts the Hot Potato.
Run a lap through the neighborhood.

Oyster passes the Hot Potato to Oyster.
Run a lap through the neighborhood.

Oyster passes the Hot Potato to Oyster
Run a lap through the neighborhood.

The never before seen combo of Chaplain and Goldberg rolled into Forest Hill Park to kick the week off in style. With fears of a solo workout in the rearview, and an empty Q sheet………….the possibilities were endless. Here is how it all went down:

– 40 x Flutter Kicks

BTTF for some Old Man Stretches. Numbers, names, YHC took us out.

NMMS: Prayers for Boberry’s sister’s s.o. – got a positive COVID test and hoping for the best. YHC was glad for the company this morning — it’s easier to embrace the suck when you’ve got someone pushing you and supporting you at the same time. And that goes for the hours between 06:16-05:29 as well …. SYITG!

Two gathered at Bateau to kick off the week. Here’s how it went:

Quick warm up jog, 20x SSH, 10x DQ, 10x CP, 20x LBC, 10x HRM, grab coupons and mosey to the park entry for a Dora: 100x alternating block Merkins, 200x jump over block squats, 300x leg lifts over block; timer runs the loop in front of the stone house.

Mosey with coupon rifle carry / curls carry to the road at the base of the sledding hill. Partner bear crawl block drag from the bottom up to the playground, alternating runner timer to the top. Mosey back down to retrieve the extra coupon & alternate lunge / curl carry back to the playground. Mosey to picnic benches for 30x dips, 20x WWII, 30x dips, 30x step ups, rifle carry back to the flag.

YHC was super thankful to have Boberry show up as a solo Q would have quickly turned into south side coffee curl repeats! Until next time, GP.
