Partner Fartlek

As Bob Seger once said, “I woke last night to the sound of thunder, how far off I sat and wondered“.  While my brothers in the West were smart enough to pack it in for safety this morning at the Prometheus, no such intelligent thought passed through the minds of the HIN’ers. After fist bumps, countdown and a quick mission statement we split off from our tinkerbell companions for a rolling WARMARAMA up the entrance drive and cart path:

• Down Dog/pedal pusher/Cobra
• Runner’s Stretch
• Hairy Rockettes IC x 10
• Motivator down from 5
• Moroccan Night Club IC x 20

At the end of the warmarama run we crossed over Country Club Road and into the high dollar neighborhood on Chipshot Rd for the THANG.  Pax were split into groups of two for Partner Fartlek’s.  (Not the kind Ronny B experienced in prison).  In this case we would make the rounds down Chipshot and up Four Iron.  At each intersection P1 would perform the designated exercise AMRAP while P2 fast moseys to the next corner and back.  Flip flop, rinse & repeat.  Then the entire group would recovery mosey to the next corner and start all over again.  Along the way, we completed:

• Mericans AMRAP
• LBC’s AMRAP
• Squats AMRAP
• Hillbilly Squats AMRAP

We finished with a recovery mosey back across to the cart path and then split into two groups (Gazelles and Clydesdales) for an Original People’s run back to the flag.  The 2 groups eventually morphed into about 4 or 5 as Pax of varying speed and conditioning found one another and settled in to their comfort zone.

Back at the flag for a quick round of Mary:

• X’s and O’s (Monkey Wrench)
• WWI’s (Kilmer)
• Supermans to a hard stop (YHC) 

The Pax really pushed and did a great job staying together and supporting one another.  We ended up getting in about 3 miles according to dash8’s nagging wrist wife.

Announcements: PRINCESS anniversary Q’s the next two days in the West.  Lemonjello passed information about how to volunteer to help prep and support those that need it for the coming storm (watch slack).  Dash8 & Lemonjello passed info on donations to help storm victims. Prayer requests: JangALang’s 2.0, all of those who have been and will be affected by Dorian. Strength for all of us in this group so that we can be a positive force in helping those that need it recover again this year after the storm passes.  Lemonjello took us out with powerful and inspiring words of prayer.

Thank you for the opportunity to Q the HIN again Newman.  I always enjoy it and the Pax never disappoint.
