Sticks and Stones…..
Vitals:
Launch Conditions: 62 degrees. Foggy. A bit damp from the overnight precipitation.
Pax: HIPAA (QIC), Lassie, Wildcat, Yosef
Mileage: 2.67 miles
Difficulty: Full Hugh Glass
Disclaimer: Check.
The Thang:
Gather at Launch. Unload wooden posts from Q’s car.
Mosey to small, paved parking lot.
Warm O Rama.
Mosey to State Farm Lot.
Looks like somebody “forgot” a few cinder blocks in the parking lot. Nothing goes with wooden posts like cinder blocks. Only one thing to do:
THANG II:
Partner 1 does as many wood post squats as possible. Partner 2 runs with cinder block around second light pole.
Flapjack.
P1 does as many cinder shoulder presses as possible. Partner 2 runs with wooden post around light pole.
Flapjack.
Same with thrusters, followed by curls.
Mosey with coupons to the base of Mt. Nickelback. Gentlemen, I give you:
Mt. Nickelback Coupon Suicides of Death
Partner One starts running up Mt. Nickelback carrying the cinder block. Partner One leaves the cinder block at the first switchback and runs back down to start. Meanwhile, Partner Two is doing jump squats, Bonnie Blairs, and Apollo Anton Onos, eagerly awaiting Partner One’s return.
Switch.
Partner Two runs up to where the first cinder block was left, picks it up and carries it up to the second switchback.
Switch.
Partner One runs back up, picks up the cinder block, drops it off at the top, and returns back to the start.
Same thing all the way to the top with wooden posts…………………….
Finish with a run up to the top to retrieve the coupons and then mosey back down and back to launch.
Ain’t nobody got time for Mary round here.
COT.
NMM:
Brutal. And Beautiful. Bru-tiful. Welcome to Knob Week, Boone. Hope you like pain.
YHC was running about 30 seconds late due to dropping off the cinder blocks in an inconspicuous place for later use. Wilcat was grouchy about that. Murmured something about starting late. YHC paid it back with interest at the end.
Yosef was early and crushed it without complaint. Thought he was going to yarf at the top of Mt. Nickelback on the last run up to the top.
Lassie. What to say about Lassie. He crushed it. While carrying his iPhone the whole time (somehow). Don’t ask, don’t tell.
We encountered another group (team?) at the State Farm Lot. Fortunately, they did not notify the authorities (as far as we know), but probably will have trouble sleeping tonight.
