Sharknado Because The Q Wanted Some Miles
All All MECA BackblastsNovember 10th, 2016
This morning, YHC woke up with one objective in mind. I wanted to somehow log between 3.5 and 4 miles during the bootcamp so that I did not have to a) wake up early…er earlier and b) so I did not have to do a pre or post-bootcamp run. However, YHC quickly discovered that @Back Cracker lied! Earlier this year, Back Cracker brought Sharknado to Davis Lake. It was a rainy day and YHC, @Back Cracker, and @Point Break got it done. I remember doing 4.8 rounds and feeling REALLY good. According to the math, that meant I’d also run about 3.6 miles. Sounds good, right? Perfect for my mileage goal. Let’s do it again! More on this to follow… Six men joined and it went like this:
Warmorama:
SSHx10IC
ISTx10IC
Windmillsx10IC
MCx10IC
The Thang:
15 Burpees
Run
20 Diamond Mericans
Run
20 WWII Sit-ups
Run
20 Mericans
Run
20 CDDs
Run
Repeat for five rounds or until time is called.
You might be asking yourself, how far we ran each time. Well…it was SUPPOSED to be .15 miles. However, YHC noticed after one round my watch read .5 and not .75. I somehow managed to catch @Back Cracker #jelly lubing his own Q…six months later! He said something about his FitBit showing .15 and having to start under the portico, etc etc blah blah. Regardless of @Back Cracker’s inaccurate measurement, everyone worked hard and got stronger!
Mary:
LBCs x 10 IC
Kicks of Flutter (more commonly called low flutter by EVERYONE except @Class V).
Pretzel Crunch
Low Dolly
Moleskin:
The numbers were all over the place (and inaccurate) so I didn’t keep them for this time…but you know how you did. Try to improve next time.
As always, way to push @Big Country. Your progress has been inspirational to me. Keep going.
@Back Cracker, get a new fit bit.
@2 Step, your comments about @Class V’s pants were hilarious. Good to see you coming out of your shell. I think I even caught a few inappropriate comments…something about lotion?
@Class V, speaking of…nice pants?
@Point Break, good to see you almost healed up from your go-karting mishap.
@Fly Boy, you called those pretzel crunches out like a man ready to Q. Just saying.
Thanks for indulging me this morning. I will be doing lots of pre or post bootcamp runs in the coming months to prepare for the next stupid thing that I’ve signed up for. Speaking of stupid things…

Good work! Sound off!
Got rid of the Fitbit a while ago. And again, if you ran the exact course I did when measuring, then you would have gotten your 3-4 miles.
Yeah ok.
Great workout! I can’t get the image of Class 5s pants out of my head though! Good to see all you guys!
What is jelly lubing?!?
2step hasn’t met Forgotten Jelly yet??
2 Step, the guy that was talking about starting a RED beatdown after the RED workout on Saturday is Forgotten Jelly. He is known for not completing all of his reps but saying he did. Therefore the term jelly lubing was created.
Hey! I’m famous!!
What’s up FJ! You are famous!
Oh…..we forgot to mention….please don’t feed Forgotten Jelly with compliments…….his head swells and his chest puffs out and it just plain annoying……
*infamous
You guys are the ones insisting on talking about me.
Thanks Farm for enlightening me! I think we have quite a bit of jelly lubing then! LOL
Dingo… I don’t think I have met him.
Aye Dingo… thanks for letting me know all the nuances of Forgotten Jelly!
Great workout! @2Step I know you’re going to get yourself a pair soon! @Farm still never got an answer as to who determines UNC’s football team’s GPA?
jelly lubing, that’s pretty funny lol
