The weekend rain raised the river level….a little worried that the AO may be flooded.
Send a text to Twitch to let him know the site in case he wants to join.
Head to pick up PAX on a beautiful morning….
5:30 we have 11 PAX (and Twitch at the AO)….I feel like more might be on the way…so I audible for burpees just in case (since I doubt anyone will find where we are going). No one is happy and they certainly don’t believe more are coming. Then Frack zooms in. Phew.
Off we go. We arrive at the gravel lot near Honey Tree and the entrance to the Roanoke Blue Way. We start warming up and Disclaimer arrives. How the hell did he find us????
Warm up (a.k.a. the Fluffer):
25 SSH IC, 40 forward arm circles IC, 40 reverse arm circles IC, 40 Jack Webbs, WMH 15 IC, merkins 15 IC (all facing west since we are on a hill making them more like erkins)
The Thang (a.k.a Pole Dancing):
Start at the entrance to the Blue Way (gravel path). Pair up. First pair does 40 merkins. All other PAX do Burpees. When first pair finishes merkins they run to the end of the path (near the stairs to the river) and the second pair of PAX begin their 40 merkins (and this keeps going through all pairs of PAX). At the top of the stairs the first pair does 20 squats, then runs down the stairs. Then they mount the poles. They use only their arms to pull themselves up the pole. This was tougher than expected, leaving PAX moist (with sweat) at the top. Once they topped out, they ran down the hill and did 40 monkey humpers (you can’t have a pole dancing theme workout without monkey humpers!), then run back to the start. At the start do burpees until its time to start the cycle again. Everyone did 3 rotations. Those groups that started last did a million burpees at the beginning. Those that went first did a million burpees at the end. It all evened out. Twitch couldn’t partake on the pole, so he went into a corner by himself and wore his arms out.
Time to head back for Mary.
Mary (a.k.a Exhibitionist):
We stopped for Mary on the corner of Reserve and Jefferson. We started with Flutter kicks (40IC), then LBCs (10IC), then monkey hummers 20 IC (facing the clinic building so we gave a show to passing cars). No one was arrested.
Back to cars for COT
