Pattycake

A gorgeous Midoriyama Spring day was defecated on by a ragtag bunch with promises of blocks that didn’t come, a never-ending set of Al Gores, and a few Mike Tysons to keep it interesting.  Here’s what I remember:

Alternate disclaimer today:  I’m not a professional.  Doesn’t matter.  Do what I say.

The Thang:

• 10 x Don Quixotes (IC)
• 10 x Hillbilly Walkers (IC)
• 7 x Cherry Pickers (on request from Blart – his Cadence)
• 10 x Peter Parkers (IC)
• 10 x Parker Peters (IC)
• 10 x Dying Cockroaches (IC)

Ran around the parking lots a little to loosen up, then began our first set of:

• 10 x Mike Tysons (OYO)
• 10 x Heels to Heaven (OYO)

Next, we split into 2 groups for an Indian Run.  The man in the back does 3 x Jungle Boy Squats, then runs to pass the group.  The destination was Dog Park Hill.  YHC got ambitious and switched groups about halfway through, and the whole thing fell apart.  Q Fail.  Arriving at Dog Park Hill was a present:

• 15 x Mike Tysons (OYO)
• 15 x Heels to Heaven (OYO)

Dog Park Hill brough a little Lazy Dora, where there was a combination of reps & holds, and after all the reps were complete of each exercise, partners ran together up Dog Park Hill and back before starting the next exercise.  We left today’s Lazy Dora open-ended, so groups could decide how many reps to do before switching.  Wiki, Trees, and YHC just went to failure.  Here’s what we did:

• 100 x Merkins / 6 Inches
• 200 x Squats / Al Gore (Brutal)
• 300 x LBCs / Plank

Surviving the 200 round was the challenge, and then the hill run afterwards was rough, but we made it.  The whole thing took a lot longer than expected, and it became clear that the weinke wouldn’t be finished, so Leppard toted around his gloves for nothing.

Close enough to time to head back already, so we started around the soccer fields, but stopped shortly after for the next set of:

• 20 x Mike Tysons (OYO)
• 20 x Heels to Heaven (OYO)

and this is where Slaw and Wiki started playing pattycake with their Heels to Heaven reps.  Just when you think you’ve seen it all.

We moseyed back to the long stretch of light poles leading back to the flag, and decided it’d be a good time to lunge walk.

• Lunge Walk 1 light pole
• Run 2 light poles

all the way back to the flag.  Plenty of traffic to keep things interesting.

Wouldn’t want to miss an opportunity to get in another round of:

• 25 x Mike Tysons (OYO)
• 25 x Heels to Heaven (OYO)

We got back with a few minutes to spare and did a round of Mary.  Everyone got involved except for YHC & Blart who blew his on Cherry Pickers in the Warm Up.

And that was all we had time for today.  Good group with a good push and good weather.  And another half a weinke for next time.

Looking forward to another season of Midoriyama heat.
