Following an EC run with LED, 6 strong Pax joined us at the Tundra. Frost covered the field. So for the first time we’re getting a sense of what the Tundra’s really about. After a brief warm-up, little time was wasted getting down to a nonstop beatdown designed to keep the heart rate up the entire time. A nonstop playlist of 70s metal bangers set a fast pace and gave us all that extra push to work a little harder.

Warm-Up: Abe Vigodas x10 IC fwd/bkwd; Seal Claps x10 IC; Devil Horn Raises x10 IC; Imperial Walkers x10 IC; Don Quixote’s x10 IC; Daisy Pickers x10 IC. Lap around the Tundra.

The Thang: Nonstop version of 7 of Diamonds. Bonnies the hard way (7 reps) with high knees x4; Up-Downs (14 reps) with butt kickers x4; Merkins (Wide–> Regular–> Diamond–> HR; 21 of each) with SSH  x4; Big Bois (28 reps) with high knees x4. Circle up in the middle and crank it up to 11 to close out with Motivators (down from 11).

Announcements: Baseline 5K time due Friday; Rugby match Saturday Nov 6; Beer Ruck Nov 13 noon; SYATG – See You At The Glooming December 22.

CoT: Shout out to LED on his 44th B-Day. This dude took a little break toward end of the summer. Then came back with a vengeance. He’s been doubling down almost every day, posted 28 workouts last month, helped trial run the 10-mile Glooming course twice the last 2 weeks, signed up for half marathon in January, Got me to sign up, then said “let’s just do a full” and kicked off a full marathon training regimen the next day. It’s motivating as hell to work with someone who’s pushing shit to the next level. I’m damn grateful. Happy B-Day Teague!
