Return of Nash

The BackBlast:

Nash led a reluctant crew of 12 this morning in his return back to Latta, which was low mileage, but an absolute beatdown. We started down to St. Pats, and when we stopped in the parking lot for warmups, we were greeted by an enthusiastic police officer standing post for a race, who joined us in side straddle hops, squats and merkins. In what could have been a great moment in Latta history, Brooks left the officer with a single comment “Now you’ve earned your donut.” It’s unclear why Brooks wasn’t tased, but the pax would’ve encouraged it. After that ordeal, we went to the megadeck, where we raced up the stairs for four sets of merkin and jump squat Tabata, followed by three repetition of the following on the roof of the megadeck:
– backwards run to the middle, 8 merkins
– karaoke to the far end, 8 mountain climbers
– karaoke back to the middle, 8 squats
– run to the near end, 8 Russian twists
We then went back from the stairs, for some Mary at the bottom, and back up for 4 more rounds of tabata, this time merkins and lunges of sort, which I’ve glossed over, but were brutal. Nash then took us out of the megadeck finally, to the base of Dead Presidents, where we did an in cadence Merkin circuit, where we held the plank in between. Again, absolutely brutal. At this point, we started up the dead presidents, lunging when we got to every cross road, until Nash realized we had ten minutes left and took the pax down Buchanan, down dilworth rd e and through the park all the way to the grinder, in what was a jog for Nash, but a blistering pace for the rest of us. We finished with air raids until the 6 got there, where we were all gasping for air, despite only running 3.2 miles.
Pax: Nash (Kotter), Newport, Bakemas, Dos Equis, Boatmisser, Rube, Gladhander, Skyline, Brooks, Oswald, Pate and Khloe.
– We all decided that Brooks owed the officer a dozen donuts for his comment.
– Nash’s beatdown made us think we are all out of shape. I guess that’s why they call it High Intensity Interval Training.
– Kardashian joined for the executive workout, where we recounted on Dos Equis and Boatmisser’s various trips to foreign countries.
– Boatmisser notably woke up to the chief of security calling him to tell him his plane was in Jordanian airspace and may be turned around. Dos Equis told us about the Argentinian Women. I’ll let you decide who overshadowed who.
– With Bakemas making his third appearance, the tides at Latta are slowly starting to shift, despite the high average age at today’s workout.
– Skyline has the lead for his 65th birthday next week, where we will be throwing him his 401k party.
– enjoy the weather this weekend
