When an IR’d CHiPs says, “Jump!” YHC shouts, “Aye!” and, as it turned out, so does Matlock and a PAX of 34. It was prop day at Cornwallis’s Nightmare as YHC put out the call on the Twittersphere to BYOB. In this case, that 2nd “B” stood for Bike”. #MumbleChatter
Low & behold, the PAX answered the call and we had enough Bikes to go around for the first installment of the BYOB Relay. It went down like this:
Mosey from the #ShovelFlag to the gate alongside the bikes. Looked like a bunch of fools that didn’t understand how bikes work. Circle up for the:
Warm-a-Rama (Matlock on the Q)
Burpee Circle throughout
SSH
Imperial Walkers
Sungods/Unwind
Hillbillies
Monkey Humpers
Count off in teams of 4 (size doesn’t matter). The Lesson Plan:
Partner #1 stays at the intersection/shelter
Partner #2 1/2 mile mosey (counterclockwise) to the lakeside playground parking lot
Partner #3 1/2 mile mosey (clockwise) to the highpoint of the lake
Partner #4 1 full loop around the lake on the bike to buy time for the runners to get to stations
*after the first lap, the bike rider hands off the bike and relieves at station #1. The New rider rides to station #2 and relieves. So on and so forth…
This all looked good on paper.
Then, we wandered off into the gloom for:
The Thang (Tommy Boy on the Q)
Station 1 :: Tabata Be Kidding Me
30 seconds @ 100% effort, 15 seconds of rest
SSH

Station #2 :: Planksgiving & Sprints

*after each exercise, run a lap up and around the parking lot

80 Mt. Climbers
70 Lunges
60 Freddy Mercurys

Omaha and regroup at the Shovel Flag for:

Moleskin
#TClaps to the PAX for allowing YHC to try something completely new today. Sure, it was a bit rough at first, but the opportunity to push ourselves in new ways is, ultimately, never a bad thing. YHC appreciates you trusting him with your #DRP.
#TClaps to Matlock for double dipping; 0600 Ruck + 0700 Co-Q. Aye!
NOTE: although entertaining, the official video for Queen’s, “Bicycle” is most certainly NSFW.
YHC took us out.
Always an honor and a joy to serve you guys in the gloom,
Tommy Boy
PAX: 11/19/16
