Meca Monument BD
All Rolling Stone BackblastsAugust 20th, 2020
10 Pax entered the squared circle that is the Rolling Stone AO to pile-drive Thursday AM into an unbreakable submission hold. I rolled into the WR Odell Primary Bus lot to see 4 Pax awaiting the arrival of the latest edition of the legendary Rolling Stone Boulder Bootcamp Beatdown. 2 new faces for me in McBeal and Fairygodfather, along with a cotter in Sparknut. In struts MC (on time) and then Sugar. We’re now all in the presence of the Rolling Stone Mount Rushmore OG squad…Sugar, MC, and Sparknut. Dang, the pressure is on to deliver something worthy of the company. Unfortunately, I stayed up to midnight drinking beer and playing Fortnight….so off to the birthday rock for some inspiration
WARMARAMA
- mosey from the AO to the HRMS BD rock for some:
- SSH x10 IC
- SLOW WM x 6 IC
- Tempo Squat x 10 IC
- Tempo merkin x 10 IC
- MC x 10 IC
The Thang
- The stall tactic of the mosey and warmarama fails to shake anything loose my cabeza. I guess its time to fall back on the ole Marquette loop and take a tour of the AO
- mosey to marquette from the BD rock for some Merkins as well head down the road. stop at each light pole for multiples of 5 merkings…5, 10, 15, 20 , 25
- wait on the 6 or Q in the cul de sac for part 2. Get To the Choppa!! hill ladder is next. 10-1 ladder starting with jump squats at the bottom and merkins at the top. I believe i thoroughly confused the pax with a poor explanation that really seemed so clear in my head but was lacking on the articulation execution. Shout out to Soprano for the headlight to ensure no Pax veered off the hill. again, wait for the 6 or Q
- 10 count by FGF complete with a clap along. strange things going on on the other side of 73. I still wasn’t able to fully catch my breath so we hit 20 LBCs IC for a working break
- twisting lunge walks for at least 2000 yards and then break into a mosey to the shelter
- partner up for some Dora 1,2,3. I hit the partner lottery and got Sparknut who eneded up doing about 2/3 of the reps.P1 exercise, P2 run to near end of bridge and return until total rep achieved
- 100 bench dips
- 200 LBCs
- mosey to the near end of the final bridge for 15 WW2s. Then an attempt to take down the Strava leader board with an all out Jail Break down the remainder of the Hector Henry Green way. News alert..Peanuts is fast. Finally, 15 Monkey Humpers IC to finish off our tour. No time for Mary, recover, recover
COT/Namarama/Moleskin
Great to see some new faces in McBeal and FGF, along with old faces I haven’t seen in some time in Kilowatt and Sparknut. Great work by all Pax as that humidity was sneaky bad, especially compared to the treat of Tuesday AM. The RS Mount Rushmore did not disappoint as they lead the way in the pain stations and the mumblechatter. Keeping it light and fun certainly helps more than you know, especially when someone like myself is on the long road back. We ended up covering about 2.70 miles with some pain along the way.
Announcement for HDHR tonight 7 PM at JBs. I will not be able to make it due to a work engagement. Sound off on Slack if you are planning to attend.
F3 Locust inaugural BD this Sat
Prayers for MC’s friend David with a new terminal diagnosis, FGF’s prison ministry and its members as the ministry needs to take a covid break., and all our communities dealing with the world wide pandemic.
Thanks again for playing along and SYITG
