It finally happened. Woodshed has been dishing out #Beatdowns for a year and we got to celebrate our birthday with 75 of our closest, sweatiest friends. We kicked off the day with 16 pax for a #TanknaciousBeatDown from Pipeline down Martha and back with plenty of pain stations in between. 8 strikers doubled down for the 7:00 bootcamp. 4 BeastMode runners hit #TheWall route with Stent for a blistering 12 mile foray into SE Columbia. Indian Mound is still smouldering. BigTime and Odyssey led the #SCORE train and the 7:00 bootcamp was a 4 station smackdown led by 8 Q’s from the Shed.
Conditions: 70’s and not too humid. Perfect birthday weather
The Thang: This was a jam packed workout with lots to offer the pax. DawnStrike and the Wall started at 6:00. SCORE and Woodshed started at 7:00. We had 2 FNG’s Dry Sack and Ice Cream Man and had the pleasure of hosting the Mission Pax.
Boris was presented with some fake dog poo, then returned the favor by rolling out his hot pink yoga mat during the COP.
After a brief welcome and shout out to Staccato for EH’ing YHC 2 years ago, we did a warm up in COP to the cracking tones of YHC’s yelling voice. SSH, IW’s, Lots of Squats, LBC’s and Burpees. Pax held high plank while SCORE departed for its workout, then YHC divided up the bootcamp pax for a 4 station workout, which included Blocks and pull ups at the back of the school, Ark Loading around the Circus Maximus, Trips to Burma and Monkey Humpers at the Baseball Field and Laps and Dora at the park playground. Pax worked hard at each station and rotated every 12 minutes. Being AOQ has its privileges, as YHC got to sound the air horn to announce the transitions. Mission and Robber provided lots of mumble chatter.
