Newtown Week 2

Preamble:

My spreadsheet workout tracker says that July 13 was the last time I Q’d, and that was just writing down a workout I yoinked from F3 Cherokee. To keep things active at Newtown I posted on Slack that I would be there and Q the workout. Then I realized I forgot pretty much everything about Qing. After some poking through backblasts, a vague plan came together.

Zohan posted that he would join me. I hoped for a Morphine or Feathers sighting, but as Zohan pulled up at 0529 it was just me and him.

Warm-O-Rama:

Mosey past the baseball field. Hang a left down the hill. Stop in a seemingly random place. Zohan: “Why are we stopping here?” Pointed out the pull-up bars, to his disappointment. But first, the warm-up:

• High knees for a while
• Weedpicker x 12
• Imperial Walker x 12
• Copperhead Squat x12

The Thang:

Circuit at the pull-up bars: 5 pull-ups, 10 gas pumpers, 15 squats. 3 rounds

Mosey along the path to the T intersection. We traversed the hill toward the start with a repeating sequence of 5 broad jumps and 5 walking lunges (AC). With the soccer field in sight we moseyed on to the field and to the baseline.

Escalating sequence, starting with 5 burpees, 5 mercans, 5 BBSU, 5 squats. Run to the end of the field and back, then 10, 15, 20. Got called out for my squat form. Need to find a darker spot next time.

Head to the lacrosse parking lot. These endless parking lots will be great for some killer routines. Today it was an Apple Turnover. Bear Crawl 3 spaces, Crab Walk 3 spaces, rinse and repeat until we got to the tennis courts. Bernie Sanders back

Head to the pavilion for a quick set of 20 dips and 20 derkins. Then a sad attempt at a Doomsday Clock (our total shall not be shared), and a few rounds of Mary. With time running out YHC called for a 10 burpee cashout. Fin

Naked-Man Moleskin:

This is a great location. Headlamps may be a regular requirement for any BDs using the back half of the trail.

Thanks Zohan for showing up to push me. Enjoyed the fellowship
