The pressure was on \u2013 as YHC is the Site Q and the elder statesman of this esteemed group.\u00a0 I felt the heat to keep the young bucks in line and limit the MC as much as possible, except for Zima (definitely not refreshing MC from him, but very familiar).\u00a0 So, I thought a little hill work was in order to keep everyone from getting bored.\u00a0 First issue was meeting at a women\u2019s clothing store, Rebecca & Co.\u00a0 No clothes were purchased, but Mutton and Roosevelt were coveting a Duke blue Diane von Furstenberg High Neck Halter Silk Jumpsuit, so a return visit was planned for Saturday, since they are free during the Final Four.\u00a0 After the normal warm-a-rama of SSH, Abe Vigodas, Whirlies and IST \u2013 the Q did have a slight cadence lapse, but no one noticed or said anything — we moseyed to the base of Buena Vista and Reynolda.<\/p>\n
The Thang was simple, repetitive and became unpleasant.<\/p>\n
Starting at the base of Buena Vista there are pavement markers every 100 meters, up to 800 meters.\u00a0 The plan was for us to run to the first marker at 100 meters, do two exercises (one was a merkin derivative and the second a core burner) each x 20, and return to the start.\u00a0 We then worked our way up to the 200 meter mark, then 300\u2026 up to 800.\u00a0 Each uphill we pushed<\/em> <\/strong>it and \u201crecovered<\/strong>\u201d on the downhill.\u00a0 Our exercises were to be done with our heads downhill of our feet to make the exercises legal.\u00a0 Our exercises were:<\/p>\n 100 \u2013 Regular Merkin and LBC<\/p>\n 200 \u2013 Wide Merkin and Mutton Crunch (Right side)<\/p>\n 300 \u2013 Ranger Merkin and Mutton Crunch (Left side)<\/p>\n 400 \u2013 Diamond Merkin and Heels to Heaven<\/p>\n 500 \u2013 Hand Release Merkin and Low Flutter<\/p>\n 600 \u2013 Makhtar N\u2019Diaye and Penguin Crunch<\/p>\n 700 \u2013 Shoulder Tap and Freddy Mercury<\/p>\n 800 \u2013 Merkin and Rosalita<\/p>\n Litterbox and Zima led the way. \u00a0Although Litterbox was in front at the end (he was still impishly chipper and annoyingly peppy), it may have been because Zima did a double Murph before WIB.\u00a0 Mutton had Q\u2019d a killer Conspiracy yesterday but was still pushing it with the everyone\u2019s favorite \u201cAh Shucks\u201d dentist, Root Canal (we aren\u2019t buying it anymore).\u00a0 Breaker ran in to WIB and after effortlessly cruising up and down the BV hill, mentioned he is struggling with plantar fasciitis \u2013 really, “You serious Clark?”\u00a0 And Van Pelt is a beast and seemed to get stronger the more hills we did \u2013 strong work.<\/p>\n COT consisted of us thanking the Lord we were done and for Holy Week.\u00a0 Litterbox took us out with a strong prayer \u2013 he has done this before.<\/p>\n It was an honor to be with you men.<\/p>\n Keys have been thrown in the storm drain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The pressure was on \u2013 as YHC is the Site Q and the elder statesman of this esteemed group.\u00a0 I felt the heat to keep the young bucks in line and limit the MC as much as possible, except for Zima (definitely not refreshing MC from him, but very familiar).\u00a0 So, I thought a little […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":158,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4316","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-wib"],"acf":{"q":"Thistle","date":"3\/29\/2018","pax":"Root Canal (WD, Jr.), Mutton, Van Pelt, Litterbox (WB), Roosevelt, Zima, Breaker and Thistle (WD)"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/158"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4316"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4316\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4317,"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4316\/revisions\/4317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
