One circle of independent thinkers split into three units. This is the tale of the bootcamp platoon- and in metro that means mileage…
The Thang: COP with kodak Q. Us runners broke off with a mosey past Memorial stadium to right on Central to left on Prospect... Pause to show off the greenway pave job, across Mcdowell/10th St into First Ward... Climb 10th St with 4 burpees at every 4th tree… left on Davidson past yhc’s first rental to right on 9th to left on Brevard thru First Ward Park to corner of 5th/Brevard aka The Mutha.
Apparently security wakes up at 0700 with badges ready. We completed one revolution up Mutha before being turned away. Stairs were locked also - so onward to other obstacles…
Mosey back to Trade St, take a left back towards homebase. Mosey mosey mosey to left on Charlottetowne back to Memorial Stadium parking deck aka The Castle. Climb the castle with squats x4 at every turn. After 8 levels, pax earned some mary x16 each. Steps back down to stadium; regroup for a unified return to the flag. Fin.
Moleskin: We couldve made the security badge man’s morning difficult. 20 vs 1. But we respected authority and restrained even from monkeyhumper-ing him… 20 pax is hard to corale especially with residential holiday soft talk - kodak was a big help with the 6… pitino, titan, sable, waffle were the rabbits and skyline wheelhoused the stair descent- short legs?… 4.2miles on the strava. Good altitude included and couldve easily been >5mi… 609 N Davidson St, Apt 203: yhc’s first apartment after college, stardate 2000. Section 8 housing- whoops. Ghetto af. Had a guy passed out on our front porch one day. Glad we were safe this Independence Day morning and stayed unharmed in 2000 as well… it turns out a lot of us spent our formulative 20s closeby… lotta 4 count exercises, 4-squared counts but nothing with 1776 reps.
Announcement that shouldve but wasnt made: 24 Hours of Booty reboots for its 24th year. July 25-26. Stay tuned for more Haywoodstock details: snoop ruck 50mi, band?, sugar creek collaboration?
Takeout by Newport. America rocks. Unlocking greatness. A beacon in this crazy world.
Happy bday merica, Coldcuts
