Another Race Week got started with 6 bootcampers and 2 walkers hitting the pavement at Martha’s for some Lazy Dora and the Greene Game.  Here’s what I remember:

Dirt was a late scratch from his Sandlot Q, so YHC relied on a go-to Weinke that never disappoints.

The Dee

Or was it the Lee

After back-to-back Dees last week, Watts Up had the idea to sell JJ on the idea that we were runnin it back and doin it again.  What doesn’t kill you… JJ thought the Sky Q was just trying to tell him something, so he was ready, but the Dee it was not.

The Thang:

  • 10 x SSH (IC)
  • 10 x Abe Vagodas (IC)
  • 10 x Imperial Walkers (IC)
  • 15 x Dying Cockroaches (IC)
  • 15 x Toe Touches (IC)

Mosey to the parking lot at Martha’s.  We counted off right.  Then again.  Then we counted off and it got progressively worse.  Right where YHC wanted em.

Lazy Dora

  • 100 x Merkins & Hold Plank
  • 200 x Squats & Hold Al Gore
  • 300 x LBCs & Hold 6 Inches
  • Swap as partners choose to swap

Twist of fate, as last time, my partner was Watts Up.  This time it was Watts Up again.  Good fortune on my part, as he carried us again.

Mosey to the flagpole to describe the complicatedness of…

The Greene Game

Named for Go Greene Go, an F3 Shelby PAX (and Burly Sebastians Dam-to-Dam team member), this game is a good time, and provides a surprisingly taxing beatdown.

At its heart, its simple.  Different exercises have different point values.  Add up all your points, and see who’s got the most.  Here was today’s menu:

  • 1 point – 20 x Flutter Kicks (Count 1 side)
  • 2 points – 10 x Burpees
  • 4 points – Quarter Wedge Run
  • 6 points – Half Wedge Run
  • 8 points – Full Lap Run

We probably did this for about 15-20 minutes, and everyone went in different directions, except Stinky Bird and Nutria worked together and Bandit and Linus were out walking.

Scores were as follows:

  • Dry Rub – 24 points
  • Flintstone – 33 points
  • JJ – 34 points
  • Nutria – 34 points
  • Stinky Bird – 34 points
  • Watts Up – 34 points

Guys learned the gameplay, and my advantage was gone, but I still unexpectedly got in 70 burpees, which wasn’t at all the goal.  Just kind of happened.

Anyways, we made it back just in time, and we were done.

Always glad to get out in The Gloom.  Good to see Sandlot regulars Linus, Watts Up and Dry Rub today.

Race day is coming.  Start the week off right.  Never Miss a Monday.
