Shark, NO!, Bell, NO!, Welcome Cruiskin Nado!

All Rolling Stone Backblasts

April 18th, 2018 By Schnitzel

In June of 2017, I had signed up to Q a cruise and had come up with a “nado” kind of cardio workout with various cardio regiments done in sequence with a non-cardio exercise in between.  I was toying with doing it in the parking lot at the time.  The pinched nerve in my neck became aggravated and I had to delay my plans.  Weather was perfect this morning, 50 or so degrees.

Mosey

Heatstroke w pack, Beef and I moseyed to the track at the middle school and met Project there, having gone through a PFT warm-up.

The Thang

Begin at the middle of the straighaway on the left side of the track as we arrive.  Cardio regiment consists of:

  1. quadraphelia to end of straight away, and back
  2. suicides into the field, 3 cones carefully placed about 20 feet apart
  3. karayoke back to other end of straight away, and back
  4. run lap

Each cardio exercise ends with 15 merkins.  So with 4 cardio exercises in a round, each round racks up 60 merkins.  @Heatstroke killed it with 5 rounds, that’s 300 merkins if you’re counting at home, and a 5 mile run including his pre-run-Ruck workout.  Whew!  Beef and I did 4 rounds, which I think put us at 2.5 miles roughly and 240 merkins.  Project recovering from PFT did 3 rounds, and was around 4-5 miles as well.  Well done, guys.

Announcements

From the gloom…

  1. Aye!

  2. Great one @schnitzel! So glad you are well enough to have come out and lead this gem of a workout! That works as a cruise or a bootcamp. Man, Beef was flying around on the laps, practically sprinting at points. Nice job by @project passing the APFT…easily. Great work by all.

  3. my goal on the last lap was to finish before @Heatstroke, even though you were a quarter of the track, ahead of me. That’s when I sprinted about the whole thing,and I felt kinda sick afterwards, and couldn’t continue for a couple of minutes. But great work Heatstroke, completing five full rotations. Great Q @Schnitzel, that was my first cruise, and, boy what a workout that was!
