The Bridge

Victory Valley, Roanoke, VA

Conditions: 72 deg. F, 94 percent humidity

PAX: Cat Scratch, Legz, Pipeline, Zebra

Q: Pipeline

YHC said the workout would be terrible but apparently three people didn’t believe me and still showed up. Cat Scratch took 10 minutes to park his car, and a possibly mentally unstable man held us up, but then we were off. We did an Indigenous People’s Run around the soccer field, with the runner doing five merkins before running to the front. Then we diamond-ed up on the adjacent soccer field for some quick warm-up exercises. Finally, we moseyed to the pedestrian bridge over the river.

The Thang: Basically single-man BOMBS on the bridge:

Round 1: 10 burpees, bear crawl over the bridge, 10 burpees, bear crawl back, five burpees.

Round 2: 20 box cutters (aka Oprahs), crab walk over the bridge, 20 box cutters, crab walk back, 10 box cutters.

Round 3: 25 merkins, lunge walk across, 25 merkins, lunge walk back, 25 merkins

Round 4: 40 big boys, backwards run across, 40 big boys, backwards run back, 20 big boys

Round 5 (Lightning Round): 25 squats, inchworm to the metal sign on the bridge, 25 squats, inchworm back, 25 squats.

Recover, Recover.

Cat Scratch will be taking orders for “I HATE PIPELINE” shirts through the end of the month. Zebra and Legz are available for stock investing tips by appointment.

An honor and a privilege!
