The Golden Tones Return

With recent work and travel keeping YHC off the Q sheet for a little while it was good to get back out there and lead the Roost PAX with YHC’s melodic cadence tones that always gets ’em going. That’s just something you can’t learn at Carolina or Clemson fellas…sorry.

Conditions: 62 degrees with 95% humidity (MP confirmed)

Tha Thang:

Warm up run to block pile at top of Suicide Hill for a quick warm-up that went;

SSH x 15 IC

TTT x 15 IC

Windmill x 15 IC

LAC (f&b) x 10 IC

Partner up and grab a team block and head to intersection of Suicide Hill and lower parking lot for some partner work. Partner 1 reps while partner 2 runs up shorter hill towards stadium gate, around first traffic curb on R (…planter…thing with a tree in it…whatever…) and returns to the bottom to tag out. Each group completes the exercises below with the “Best of the 90’s” rap blaring for some ambiance.

100 merkins,

100 overhead press

100 curls

100 bench press

100 squats

100 lunges

200 LBC (no block)

200 Freddie Mercury (no block)

50 burpees

Once complete, one PAX farmer carries blocks up Suicide Hill while remaining 3 PAX perform 10 merkins and rotate farmer carry/merkins until blocks are back at pile.

Return to track but first, starting at light pole closest to block pile-dealer’s choice abs that went like this: 20 flutter-kicks (TP), run to next pole, 15 BB sit ups OYO (MP), run to next pole, 20 Freedom Twists IC (SS), run to next pole, 25 plank-jacks IC (FD), make a R and run up entrance hill, boat canoe (TP). Once at bleachers by track: 20 seated pikes, 20 dips, 20 incline merkins, mix of flutter kicks and 6″ until time expired.

May not read like it on paper, but that’s alot of reps and right at 2 miles covered on this humid morning. Work was done. Kudos to the 3 faithful beasts that showed up. For those PAX who said they were “waiting for it to get warmer” (weak sauce BTW), the time is now…

Prayer Requests:

Money Penny’s sister in law with a recent diagnosis.

Toothpick’s co-worker with some tough news.

Announcements:

Kudos to Speedtrap’s own Reload on his recent promotion. Prayers for he and his family as the prepare to move to Greenville.

Let’s get the Q sheet filled up. Encourage those PAX who you haven’t seen in a while to get back out there.
