Author: Alright Alright

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Icebox, Ina, Oatmeal, Sally
QIC: Alright Alright

AO: Katy Trail
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME:

Given.

Upon arrival YHC polled the PAX on which structure we should spend our efforts on today.  The Mustang Parking Deck or The Mockingbird Bridge. Ina correctly suspected that a trip to the Parking Deck would lead to #TheMustang and loudly voted for The Bridge.  The remaining PAX, all uninformed and clueless as to what was in store, followed suit and voted for The Bridge.

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x15

IST x15

THA THANG:
Mosey to the North end of The Bridge.

Commence BLIMPS.

Run across and perform one exercise (increase reps by 5 on each exercise), run back across and perform the next exercise.  Repeato until BLIMPS are complete.  Then begin SPMILB, and repeato until complete.

The PAX completed the BLIMPS and SPMILB in 25 minutes which left time for a Native American run across the bridge and back prior to our long mosey back to La Madeleine.

Totals for the Beatdown:

4 Miles, 10 Burpees, 20 Lunges, 30 ISTs, 40 Merkins, 50 Plank Jacks, 60 Squats

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
No special comments today.

MOLESKIN:
This beatdown was not conducive to much #mumblechatter as the group got pretty spread out.  However, there was constant encouragement throughout the #beatdown as the PAX ran past each other on The Bridge.  It is that kind of encouragement that pushes all to be better.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Run Ranger Run. Sign up and/or talk to Oatmeal for more info.
2. Vote for when you can meet for #QSource in 2019.

3. Block off March 2nd on your calendars for a Texas Independence Day CSAUP.  Let AA know if you would like to be part of the leadership of this event.

Pax: alright alright, aarrrggghh, f150, ina, mile high, candy cane, rump roast, sally, icebox, splash (yhc)

We worked out hard. 35s then some court work then some Mary. Highlight was back to back partner squats.

It made us better. Merry Christmas!

PAX: Pepper, Isaiah, Oatmeal

QIC: Alright Alright

3 PAX gathered in the below freezing gloom to run alongside their brother ruckers. #Kotters to Isaiah for what YHC believes is his second post since his son was born. 

We took off hot on our traditional route, as all three of us complained that it was colder than we had expected. In fact, our efforts to warm up led us to the fastest mile in #Doubletime history with a 6:51 first mile. It was all uphill from there though, literally and figuratively. We struggled up the two large hills of the course and finished the second mile in 7:43. It was at this point that the wheels really came off. Pepper had to stop for a nature break at the halfway point and that was the end of his day. At the same time Isaiah and YHC realized that the 6:51 first mile was going to really hurt us on the later miles. But we pushed on and finished with 7:50, 7:43 and a painful (serious climb) 8:30. In all we ran 5 miles at a 7:45 pace. 

Oatmeal, being the High Impact Man that he is, stopped on the way to the workout to help out a guy that had driven off the road. He made it to Flag Pole Hill in time to get a mile and a half in.
