Northeast Tennessee

Better Late Than Never

Northeast Tennessee Arrowhead (Indian Trail) Johnson City

9 Pax arrived for the first Q from YHC in a long long long time.  A sabbatical had been taken to train for an event, which really just meant that the struggle to count in cadence was going to be real.  Per the usual, the Pax of Arrowhead did not disappoint when it came to reminding me how to count.

COP
SSH x 15 IC

Sticky Butt Kickers x something sort of IC…this is where the wheels fell off on counting

THE THANG
A wise Pax by the name of Twilight once told me that the great speed equalizer was farmer carries…and he was not wrong.  The intent of the workout was to work on suitcase and farmer carries with some partner and station work along the way.

  • Suitcase carry from the warm up location to the parking lot across from the swings.  Pax performed a series of 7’s.  6 coupon thrusters, suitcase carry coupon across the parking lot to the swings, 1 underdog.  Suitcase carry opposite arm back across the parking lot for 5 coupon thrusters, suitcase carry opposite arm back to swings for 2 underdogs.  So forth and so on until 1 coupon thruster and 6 underdogs.  Wait on the 6 by static suitcase holding your coupon.
  • Suitcase carry opposite arm from the initial carry to the swing, over to the hill in front of the school.  Partner up.  Pax # 1 farmer carries coupons to the midway point up the hill, knocks out 5 merchants, and carries back down to Pax # 2.  Pax # 2 is performing bodyweight squats until relieved.  When Pax # 2 returns, Pax # 1 goes again but Pax # 2 is performing reverse lunges this round.  Once both Pax are complete with lunges, suitcase carry over to the corner of the school by the dugouts.
  • Pax # 1 performs 5 tricep dips followed by 5 Mike Tyson’s and repeats this while Pax # 2 farmer carries coupons to blinking light on the side of the school and back.  After two rounds each, suitcase carry back to the parking lot where it all began, stopping halfway to switch arms for the suitcase carry.  It was here that some Pax commented…”oh yeah, switch here”.
  • Once back in the parking lot, it’s time for a game of tag.  Pax # 1 took off with the farmer’s carry.  Pax # 2 performed 3 burpees and then moseyed to catch Pax # 1.  Pax # 2 took the coupons while # 1 performed 3 burps and then moseyed to catch Pax # 2.  Did this until time was called.

Didn’t do it today.  The game of tag took us to the end.

MOLESKIN
Just thanked the guys for being there.  I had been away for a while training for the race, which was fun, but it gets lonely out there.  Knowing there was a group of guys still going and that would be there to come back to was a great feeling.  Go EH somebody you haven’t seen in a while.
