In my Raleigh Slack preblast I openly wondered how my plan would fare first contact, and it was a little rough!
WARMUP:
SSH x20 IC, IW x20 IC, Fazio F x10 IC, Fazio R x10 IC, Merkins x10 OMD, Downward Dog, Calf isolations, runners stretch, Mountain Climbers x10 IC
THE THANG:
Attempted a lighter version of the Wendell Gee at the Lake Dam. Partner up, run opposite directions around the loop. When partners meet, one partner squat holds, other partner does burpees x5. Flapjack. Repeat x4 (each partner will have done 25 burpees). Finish loop. We got too much separation here and the fast guys started to repeat when we were supposed to switch up exercises. Called an audible to squat hold for everyone to come back in. Repeat but with plank holds and merkins x10 up to each partner doing 50 merkins. Big Red got uppity at the meeting point, so we scrapped finishing the loop and moved to the shelter loop to finish with LBCs up to 50 each at the flat, smaller parking lot loop.
-Stationary 11s on the benches. Right Left Step Ups (each side counts as one) and dips.
-Derkins x15
-Sevens back at the senior center: Star Jumps and Carolina Dry Docks. Bear Crawls out, Lunge walks back.

NAKED MOLESKINE:
Welcome, Zangief! Yes we could’ve worked on a name that wasn’t based on him being Russian, but VHS told me afterwards he works with Games (I think, maybe just IT), and he does Aikido. So the Russian fighter from Street Fighter 2 is not just cool, but kind of fitting. Hopefully he comes back soon. Might’ve Q’d him away.
