Rainy Day at the Beach

It was a rainy day in Emerald Isle.  The HCs were light in volume and the ride west was long, but YHC was ready to work hard on some unfamiliar sand.  As 7:15 came closer, the trucks started piling in from the boys at the Field of Dreams. With a welcome, disclaimer, and mission statement given we mosey’d east on the bike trail for:

Warm A Rama:

SSH IC x 25

Sun Gods IC x 10, rev x 10

Cotton Pickers IC x 15

Good Mornings IC x 15

Mosey to the Islander Hotel

In the big parking lot at the beach access we partnered up for catch me if you can.

P1 run backwards, P2 3 burpees catch P1 flapjack, rinse and repeat.

Once completed we headed to the beach for:

The Thang:
