Agent P & Vikings

As YHC waited in the gloom in the Schiele parking lot, I began wondering what I would do if no one showed up.  I hope that I would actually get through part or all of the planned workout but I’m not sure.  Luckily, 4 PAX showed just before the start time so I didn’t have to fight off any urges to head back to the house.

It was cold but not nearly as cold as the previous week so we got after it immediately with some IC warm up:

SSH X 12

Imperial Walkers X 12

Freddy Mercury’s X 12

Mosey to the flag in front of the Museum for the Pledge

The Thang

Mosey up to the parking lot at Grier Middle School for some Stroganoff 5’s:

Bear Crawl across parking lot – 5 Merkins – lunge back to other side (that’s one)

Rinse & Repeat 4 more times for a total of 5 sets.  Short Sale was moving through this quickly and actually completed 6 sets in the same time YHC completed 5…..kudos.

Mosey to the steps at First Presbyterian Church for the Viking 1000.  The night before I had posted some pre-blast pics on Twitter depicting Agent P (from Phenias & Ferb) and a Viking image.  The plan was to wear my Agent P shirt and ‘Viking’ winter hat from the Warrior Dash several years ago (which I had never actually put on).  Earlier in the morning I discovered my giant head was more than the hat could handle so I improvised to call this next exercise the Viking 1000.

Partner up for some cumulative rep work:

Partner 1 does the exercise while Partner 2 runs to the top of the steps, performs 5 merkins and returns.  This continues until all the reps of each exercise are completed between the two (or one group of 3):

Flutter Kicks X 200

Mountain Climbers X 200

Freddy Mercurys X 200

Plank Jacks X 200

LBC’s X 200

1000 reps total per goup

This was working out well as we were right on schedule.

Mosey back to the track at Grier Middle.  No Stroganoff Q at Gashouse would be complete without a round of the Wolfpack Grinder.

Squats IC X 10 – Run 1/2 Lap – 20 Merkins – Plank for the 6

Squats IC X 10 – Run 1/2 Lap – 30 Mountain Climbers – Plank for the 6

Squats IC X 10 – Run 1/2 Lap – 20 Merkins – Plank for the 6

Squats IC X 10 – Run 1/2 Lap – 30 Mountain Climbers – Plank for the 6

Squats IC X 15 – Run 1/2 Lap – 15 Merkins – Run 1/2 Lap – 30 Mountain Climbers – Plank for the 6

This was really enjoyed and celebrated by the PAX…….

Mosey back to the Schiele for some quick Mary:

The First Presbyterian bells rang during our set of Flutter Kicks somewhere in the 20’s on our reps.

Great work men.

The Moleskin

Even though the numbers were fewer than normal (maybe the smallest crowd I’ve personally seen at Gashouse), the quality of the work put in was extremely good.  These 4 guys pushed me today to put in the work and made it worth my time.

I greatly appreciate the opportunity to lead this morning.

Until the next one.  Aye!
