Countdown Team Run
All All MECA BackblastsJanuary 27th, 2016
Had 6 runners join the team countdown run. Rumor had it that numbers were down because it was my Q. Thanks for the respect guys.
Warm Up: Quick jog around the parking lot with high knees and butt kickers. Wanted to make sure we didn’t pull a muscle going the ice covered hill into the darkness.
Cruise: Ran down to the greenway and turned left. We ran under mallard creek onto the gravel section. Everyone was told to run at their own pace so that it felt like they were “cruising”. Ran about 1.6 miles depending on individual pace.
The Group Up: After about 14 minutes I turned around. Everyone turned around when they saw me until we formed one big happy group. First person I saw was given the #5, next person #4, and so on.
Countdown Team Run: Once we grouped up we ran as a group, but regularly stopped to do exercises. The higher your number the more of that exercise you did. (For example: Burpees 1x would have the runner with #5 doing 5 burpees and the runner with the #1 doing 1 burpee before starting to run again). We ran back to the AO in this fashion. We stopped for the following exercises on the team run back.
- (2x Your #) German Jumping Jacks
- (1x Your #) Burpees
- (2x Your #) Merkins
- (2x Your #) Lunges
- Burpees until everyone joined back up
- (1x Your #) Jump Squats
- (1x Your #) Burpees
- Frog hops until everyone joined back up
- Your own pace to the bridge
- Burpees until everyone joined back up.
- Run up the icy hill at pace.
May have messed the order up a bit above, but should be close to that.
The Cooldown: Slow jog until everyone grouped back up after the hill. Jogged over to the grass hill by the school and ran 2 hills. Ran over to the trailers and did Mary.
Mary:
- 10x Monkey Humpers (The Farm)
- 10x Cherry Pickers (Dingo)
- 15x Reverse Crunches (Rib Shack)
The Moleskin:
- Thanks guys. I enjoyed the run. Nice to be grouped up for more chatter.
- Guinness – way to push it on the cruise portion.
- The Farm – you going to let Guinness out cruise you like that?
- Rib Shack – Thanks for making us lay down. I enjoyed the wet underwear on the run home.
- Triple Threat. I remember about one new F3 name each workout. I am terrible with names. Added you name to my list of names remembered today. May take me a year to remember your real name. Sorry in advance.
- Dingo…We will…Kill the Dingo

Nooo……kill…..Dingo…….
Good stuff this morning Jumanji. Something different was exactly what I needed!
Good chance for some good 2ndF with The Farm, Triple Threat and Ribshack. Not sure where Jumanji and Guinness were. Whey must have fallen behind pretty quick!
Aye Jumanji! @Guinness is fast. Plus you guys were fearless when it comes to the ice. As @Dingo will tell you, I am the opposite.
That was a good run for 2nd F. I definitely think there are men that didn’t post because they saw your name on the list.
@Jumanji- good Q, I like the variety & the challenge for future cruises to move up my number!
Unlike the Q, some of us actually perspire when we run so I figured what was a little more sogginess?
The key it just run a little faster. The wind keeps you dry.
Sorry I missed the Cruise, I want to keep at it week after week but haven’t been feeling too good. #crymeariver
