PREMOLESKINE
“This is dumb,” I thought, several weeks ago. I don’t remember ever doing a pre-run of ANY distance, let alone a 5k. And to do it before a Q? Don’t I have to save my strength to be the 6?

The feelings of dumbness didn’t subside until I got in the car to drive home.

✅Preran the 5k. I enjoy running. I’m just really slow. And it takes at least a mile for me to get warmed up.

WARMUP
As partners, you have 1 minute to do 24 burpees. Imagine my surprise when everyone, including me, is finished by 40 seconds! I had a whole series of penalties planned, but that killed my plans pretty quick.
Made up shit to get us to the front of the HS.

THE THANG
Hadn’t seen the old rail walk / bear crawl in a while, so we whipped that out. Turned out to be new to several Pax.

Head to bus parking lot for Swing the Gate.

To the cafeteria for the dips / derkins / step ups circuit, but with new versions: hip dips, offset merkins, & side step ups. Added some donkey kicks for a break in the monotony.

Grab a lifting rock & bring to parking lot. Used the lot instead of the fields because they had big signs that said field was closed. I’m sure if those Marvinites saw footprints on their grass, we’d (I’d) be in trouble again.
Reverse starfish with different rock exercises in the middle.

Mosey back to COT with CDD at every light & sign.

Still time left? This time, 23 burpees in a minute. Everyone’s done in 45 seconds.
STILL time left? Mary & plank
