Preamble:

Hushpuppy overcommitted and left an opening for me to step up and Q a beatdown. I decided on a classic BLIMPS beatdown in the parking deck. For extra credit, 6 of us cruised for a 2.27-2.51 mile PR.

Warm-O-Rama:

Moseyed the long way to the parking deck, then circled up for the usual warmups.

The Thang:

BLIMPS Routine on lower level, then and expanded version on round 2 that reached every level of the deck. B = x5 Burpees L = x10 Lunges I = x15 Imperial Walkers M = x20 Merkins P = x25 Plank Jacks S = x30 Squats Finished off with x10 burpees half way back to the flag. The completed a version of the Captain Thor with American Hammers to Overhead Press 1:4 ratio.

COT:

Polar plunge this Saturday. Meet at DD near Grindstone for launch. Its 4 miles from DD to plunge, then 4 miles back afterward. May be a 2 mile each way version in development for those who want to participate but not run 8 miles.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Thanks to all the men who checked in on me this past week as my family said good bye to my mom. It is comforting to know that I have all you guys to help me get adjusted to the next phase of life without parents on this earth.
