Introduction
A wiser man than me once said, “sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear eats you”
Well, I’m hungry as hell and if you are too, I want you at The Bear tommorow morning.
We’ll run, climb the hill, have great music, dust off a retired bit.
I will make it worth your time, I promise.
HC below, bring your coupon, and let’s enjoy that mid-40s weather together.
Warm-O-Rama
Did Death by Burpees, minutes 1-10. During the break, we’d do a warmup exercise.
Tappy taps, imperial walkers, runners lunges, arm circles. IC
The Thang
Started with sprints.
Runnings in groups of 3. Winner shifted left, loser shifted right. Varying distances.
Then we did an introduction to coupon work.
Thruster, curls, blockees and goblet squats. In cadence.
Pistol Carry to the pavilion. If you fail, block goes down and bear crawl to the end point.
Final Thang: Run a circuit, with split squats, merkins, and pull-ups at designated points. Alternatively, whenever it opened up, PAX paired up and farmer carried coupons to the top (or bottom) of the hill.
Mary: Captain Thors IC. made it thru 6:24
Circle of Trust
I was reminded of an interview that I heard from Rick Barry. Basically, he said that we don’t own our kids, we rent them. When they turn 18 they’re gone (more or less). and it’s important to not let your relationship with your wife deteriorate, because when those kids leave, you’re stuck with a stranger for the next 20-30 years.
If the kids are 1, your wife needs to be 1A.
Naked Man Moleskin
Such a blessing to spend Saturday morning with such a great group. The LaGrange guys were super impressive, crushed it.
Sun Devil started from the bottom on sprints, busted his ass to the top tier. Urban Cowboy was carrying 4 coupons at a time, just nasty.
I hate workouts without music, and the second half couldn’t have music, which I painfully regret.
One of my oldest friends showed up for his first workout (named him Gene Parisian because he’s a greasy Italian and to honor Jessica Walter). Seeing him definitely chopped away my concentration for the first couple minutes.
The Bear is fun. Good AO and good guys, looking forward to spending more time here.
