A break in the rain allowed eight High Impact Men to gather for a morning of self-improvement and burpees. Today’s mission was Traveling BOMBS. In the midst of a thorough top-to-bottom warmup on Ye Old Edinburgh St. Tennis Courts, Legz began hallucinating and thought he saw a cigarette butt moving around–The White Worm. He is going to get his meds adjusted later today.
The Thang: Traveling BOMBS, in which there are no partners and the travel is (mostly) yogging from one area of the AO to the next and completing your share (50 percent) of the usual BOMBS reps.
Burpees: Yog to the pedestrian bridge over the river. 13 burpees on one side, bear crawl across, 12 burpees on the other side.
OHCs: Yog to the stairs at the VTC research building. 25 OHCs at the bottom of the stairs, run to the top, 25 more OHCs.
Merkins: Yog, while carefully observing all traffic rules and using all crosswalks, or not, to the footbridge over the river by the hospital. 38 merkins on one side, lunge walk across, 37 merkins on the other. Bundy told the homeless gentleman he was getting a prayer from us whether he liked it or not. Word.
Big Boys: Yog to the softball field at the far end of River’s Edge South. 50 big boys in the outfield grass, crab walk the bases, 50 more big boys. YHC was reduced to doing his big boys on one butt cheek because he sacrificed the other one to Dunphy’s workout Tuesday. #monkeybutt #crossfitcrack
Squats: Yog back to the soccer field closest to Virginia Varsity. Squats at midfield until 6:15.
Recover. Recover. Announcements: There was a heated debate over hibernating FNGs and Freddie Mac’s run, in which YHC was told to go away for a while and maybe I’d count for a kilometer when I came back. Now I know how Cat Scratch feels–old and unwanted, like that cigarette butt Legz thought was a worm. Rick James steered us back on course with an announcement about CPR training at Freddie Mac’s office on Oct. 16. Name-o-rama and then Hutz took us out
An honor and a privilege!
