Three Pax, all Clydesdales, weren’t scared to visit #Mineshaft today.  Two of us did a short pre-run which, for YHC, was horrible.  It was HOT already and the humidity was nearly unbearable today making it quite the challenge to breathe.

@AstroVan and I came back to the lot after the pre-run and were joined by our lone other HC, @Sizzlean.  After a week on the road, @Sizzlean was ready to work off some fried food and beer, so that we did!

Here’s how things went down.  Mosey to traditional warm-o-rama spot for 10 SSH IC, 10 Windmills IC, 10 Cotton Pickers IC, 10 IST IC, 10 Tempo Merkins IC, and 15 Mountain Climbers IC.

Walked down the two large sets of stairs and spider man merkin back up (stagger merkin on each step plus a full merkin).  This SUCKED by the top of the second flight.  Oh yeah, we stopped after the first flight for 50 LBC’s and did 25 WWII sit ups at the top.

Mosey toward track.  Stopping at some picnic tables for 10 step ups each leg.  Continue mosey to bottom of steep hill beside track.  Sprint up hill to 3rd light pole for 25 Squats.  Back to bottom of hill and sprint back up to 2nd light pole for 15 Jump Squats.  Back to the bottom of the hill and sprint up to first light pole for 20 Carolina Dry Docks.  Back to bottom of the hill.  A quick 10-count to catch our breath and mosey to greenway.  Make a right heading toward the baseball complex, stopping at the rock pile to grab some instruments of pain.

30 rock shoulder presses, 20 rock curls, 30 rock chest press, 20 skull crushers, and 20 lat pullovers.  REPEATO all exercises.  30 rock squats to finish this portion off right.

Mosey up to the Pavillion.  YHC was gassed and felt like quitting at this point. AstroVan took over for a moment and lead us in some people’s chair w/ air presses, 10 Donkey Kicks, and REPEATO People’s Chair w/ air presses.  Since there was a water fountain in the pavilion, we took a quick water break.  YHC was absolutely drenched from sweating like a pig at this point.

SLOW mosey up the main drive, crossing through intersection.  YHC had a bright idea to run the hill, stopping at each light pole for a descending merkin ladder starting w/ 16 merkins at the first pole, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2…  We ended up modifying to pax choice of either merkins, incline merkins, or CDD’s pretty quickly as fried chest set in.  

We continued our mosey back toward the warm-o-rama spot, stopping in the courtyard for 15 dips IC followed by 10 dips IC in the next set of benches.

Then YHC decided to do some traveling MARY.  Mosey and stop for Low Flutter x15IC Low Dolly x15IC.  Mosey and stop for Pretzel Crunch x10IC each side.

Go up several flights of stairs and a quick airborne mind bender at the top followed by the squirm x10IC.

Mosey back to parking lot for an abbreviated name-o-rama, announcements, etc.

1. Thanks for joining me this morning.  Sorry for the uninspired Q today.  I was straight struggling and couldn’t breathe well at all.
2. What happened to everyone else who used to post at Mineshaft?  I know people are busy in the summer, but let’s get the numbers back up at this great AO!
3. I’m glad that’s over with!
