It goes without saying that YHC was fond of Blitz. For those not familar, Blitz was a short lived AO in the heart of Rosewood. The idea of Blitz was to have a high intensity bootcamp for 30 minutes. As Fannie elegantly put it on twitter “Blitz = 1 F3 Columbia boot camp minus all warm-ups, recoveries, moseys and easy stuff. Leave only hard stuff and chatter.”
When YHC was planning this workout, he scanned through the old Blitz BB’s. Legends of the F3 Columbia Q’ing game were abound, and YHC stole a little from all. 17 pax were along for the ride.
Conditions: 66 degrees at the start.
The Thang: Run to Emily Douglas Park. 5 burpees OYO. 5 burpees OYO. Warm-up over.
The pax consistently bear crawled for the next 8 minutes. Only stopping when YHC called:
- “Merkins” (all pax do 4 hand release merkins), or
- “Kick” (all pax do 2 donkey kicks)
which YHC call about 15 times each. Finish with a plank hold for ~ 30 seconds.
To the stairs for 11’s: 2 exercises done 10/1, 9/2,…,1/10. The two exercises were:
- Box jumps
- Jump merkins (jump both feet to wall, do a derkin, jump both feet back to ground, rinse/repeat)
All pax did flutters while waiting on the 6. Pax ran to the playground for a mini-Chelsea style workout of:
- 5 pull-ups
- 10 merkins
- 20 monkey humpers
done every minute on the minute (actually 55 seconds toward the end) for 8 minutes.
Run to the corner of King and Wheat for 25 Russian twists. Next we sprinted to the corner of King and Duncan, 10 merkins, then sprint back to the flag.
COT and BOM by YHC. Thunderteeria followed.
Moleskin:
- YHC tried to keep the intensity high, with the #LarryBirds that showed up that was not an easy task. Looking back this is YHC’s favorite Q to date. Thanks to Beads, and hats off to him for the idea.
- Have a quick mid-week Thunderteeria following the workout was great 2nd F. Hope that happens again, and YHC would recommend that other AO’s try it out.
- Great to have Hot-Tub downtown for a work out #Hesfast.
- Underroo put his money on staying step-for-step with YHC for the entire workout (apparently F3 was getting a little easy for him). He did a hell of a job, and was pushing it the entire workout. YHC threw in the last sprint to make sure he would earn his money. He didn’t.
