Highlands Boot Camp After Dark
All BackBlasts BackblastsJuly 2nd, 2021
After YHC’s Wednesday evening got later than expected, a 5:30 a.m. wake-up call was not heeded. So, what’s a Pax to do? In MeCa/at Highlands, you sign-up to Q the region’s only evening beatdown: 7:30 p.m. at Highland Creek Elementary.
A preblast was posted to Slack, hoping to induce some company. Two others heeded the call: one to avoid a full fartsack day, and another for a double-down.
A disclaimer was given and off we moseyed for what would turn into a Pain Station 5K. We went out the parking lot and up Dogwood to the dead-end for…
Warmarama (IC)
- SSH x19
- IST x15
- Weed Picker x10
- Slow Windmill x10
We headed up Street Ave., down Ridge to the Firehouse, and then down Shelley to the rail by the bus lot entrance. There we did incline merkins in cadence (x10), and squats OYO (x20). We continued into the bus lot and back toward the start, where YHC decided we’d just do 3 laps with vary pain stations.
We went back around, stopping at the corner of Street/Ridge for reverse crunch in cadence (x15) and Freddie Mercury in cadence (x10). Continued back to the bus lot for 10 pull-ups OYO and over to the awning for 10 step ups (total) OYO.
Back to the start and around to the dead-end for merkins in cadence (x10) and low flutters in cadence (x15). Back all the way around to the rail by the bus lot entrance for dips in cadence (x10) on the rail, before heading back to the shovel flag to finish.
Overall, we totaled more than 3.5 miles and did a good amount of reps. Along with that, we had some very solid 2nd F with @kleanup and @yellowcake as well.

- Great work by everyone. Props to @yellowcake for the double-down after an early gloom bike ride, and thanks to @kleanup for coming down from the lake
- Glad we were able to beat the rain. Weather wasn’t too terrible
- Come join the evening beatdown for a nice change of pace. Usually a smaller group which leads to great 2nd F.
- Prayers for @yellowcake’s wife Crystal for safe travel back from a personal retreat she’s on this weekend.
