25 Shades of Burpees

Overlander, Roanoke, VA

Conditions: 59 deg. F, cloudy

PAX: Cat Scratch, Double Humpee, Dunphy, Frack, JV, Pipeline, Prince Tuesday

Q: Pipeline

Today’s workout at Overlander featured the reemergence of Frack from his burrow and a Prince Tuesday sighting.

Warmup: Yog to the compass rose at VWCC across Colonial. There was a warmup. Then Pipeline, who just can’t let go of this stupid idea, made the PAX crawl bear up the stairs by the bookstore. Honestly, the first two sets aren’t bad. Then the angle gets crazy and you end up about one second from needing expensive dental work for the rest of the climb.

We got to the top and then moseyed over to the top of the LFH. The THANG: 25 shades of burpees: 20 burpees at the top of the LFH, run to the bottom, 5 burpees at the bottom, run to the top, 15 burpees, run to the bottom, 10 burpees, and so on. Cat Scratch said this was the same stupid thing Pinky did a few weeks earlier, but Pipeline pointed out this was burpees, not merkins.

With time running a little short, Pipeline gathered the group, saving them 20 burpees at the bottom of the hill, and all yogged back to the cars. There was just enough time for a one minute plank and then it was recover, recover.

Bundy has broken his foot according to Dairy Queen; no deets but we assumed it was skating-related. Name-o-rama and Pipeline took us away.

An honor and a privilege!
