You’ll have to wait until the end for the explanation. The lead-up to that realization went something like this…
Showed up to Pelican’s to find several vehicles in the parking lot and a scene that could be truly called “the gloom”.
0530 so let’s go. Quick disclaimer.
The Pledge
Warm-up
SSH IC x 17
Needed some help getting moving so a lap around Pelican’s.
Merkins x 17
Another lap around the building
LBCs IC x 17 (these were popular given the cold wet pavement)
Another lap around the building
Imperial Walkers IC x 17
Another lap around the building with a mosey continuing down the street towards Gastone’s Hill.
Stop at the Family Medicine building parking lot for a round of Elevens
10 Mike Tysons and 1 Jump Squat
You know the deal… Repeat until 1 Mike Tyson and 10 Jump Squats
Mosey to Gastone’s Hill. And then up Gastone’s Hill. And then down Gastone’s Hill.
Next round up the hill was Route 66 with Merkins stopping at each mailbox.
At the top, Flutter Kicks IC x 17. Crunchy Frogs IC x 7. LBCs IC x 10. (or something like this…)
Mosey back down the hill. Back towards the flag, but more Route 66 with stops at the light posts and Squats.
With time remaining and no desire to do Mary on the wet pavement to close, we moseyed to the mini-wall for Mary on the Wall.
Step-Ups – 10 each leg
Dips IC x 10
Derkins x 7 (once again, counts are estimated based on memory)
Mosey to the flag.
Annoucements
Night to Shine 2/9 (See Maybelline for details)
Folsom Winter Nationals – Convergence 2/10
Prayer Requests
Mason and Cherry families
EZ Rider’s Mother-in-law’s sister passed away
Member of EZ Rider’s Father-in-law’s church
Prayer to take us out…
So you may be wondering how it was determined that Strava is a female. About half-way through the workout, I noticed my watch was not tracking my distance. This happens about 4-5 times a year when it doesn’t pick up the GPS signal before starting the workout even though it says it has picked it up (That’s not how we know Strava’s a female). When the workout was over, I ended the workout on my watch but got the message, “Strava needs a longer activity to upload. Do you want to discard this one?” I read that message out loud to which one of the PAX responded, “That’s what she said.” My activity was inadequate for Strava. Public embarrassment. Hate to see it. Guess we’ll try again next time…
