Gloomy, foggy, even a little moist, but that did not stop 4 pax from posting at the new and improved Wednesday version of the Beach. YHC double checked the schedule, to ensure that BD started at 0530 and on Wednesday. Imagine my surprise when I noted that the BD now starts at 0545 (according to the Q Sheet). Just to be safe, I arrived close to 0530, though 4 minutes late, and the PAX were already getting after it. That’s ok, i gave the disclaimer, and then we began…again.
Warm up: (all IC and X12 – 2 rounds)
- SSH
- Imperial Walkers
- Don Quixotes
- Mary Catherines
- Low-Slow Squats
- Floyd Mayweathers
The Thang:
Grab some toys from YHC’s car and mosey to the oval. We paired off, and each pair was given a ruck sack and a sand bag. YHC called up a DORA (100 / 200 / 300). While Partner 1 takes a lap with the sandbag, at your best gallup, Partner 2 starts going thru the DORA, with a twist:
- During the LBCs, hold the ruck sack above your chest
- During the Squats, where the ruck sack, or hold it out in front
- During the Merkins, wear it
It took 5 rounds to get through the whole thing. Next we moseyed to the sand court. Here we borrowed from the Seattle Rucking AO. While Partner 1 did squats with the Ruck Sack, partner 2 bear crawled across the court, while pulling the sandbag along with you. (we did 2 rounds)
Finally, we lunge walked along the East side of the oval, taking turns with your partner either carrying the sandbag or wearing the Ruck sack.
CoT:
SoftHands took us out.
Naked Man Moleskin:
Was great to have HogPen back in the ranks.
The Q Sheet has been updated. This AO will start at 0530 as it always as.
