One Man to Beat

Posted on Posted in Backblasts
  • When: 8/15/16
  • QIC: SeatDown
  • The PAX: Pyro, PUD, BigBird, Biiiiing

Drone, we don’t need not stinking Drone… as #KesselRun proved its ability to continue and amazingly grow without our fearless AO leader Drone… whom we did miss dearly while he overcomes the sickness he gained while Super Dadding it over the weekend.  While we did miss the bright white (due to the short shorts) dot in front of us, we found our way through the gloom and worked toward one goal… Get Better

YHC combined recent inspirations from a current book (Do Great Things) and watching Usain Bolt continue to amaze the rest of humanity.  Theme of the morning was You-vs-You: as the only person with the power to prevent us from reaching our goals, the one we lie to most, and he who has the ability to push us past our limits is no other than the man staring at us in the mirror each morning.  YHC tagged this interval beat down as Mesas… picture a high level and consistent for a long distance

COP:

1 Mile warm up – jog, kick backs, high knees, jog, long stride

Stretch out while Q breaks down the plan

The THANG:

Pre-mapped out 3/4 mile course with each of the PAX tracking their lap times

1 baseline lap completed at 80-90% OYO – Each PAX used this time as a personal standard/baseline

25 Flutter Kicks

Another lap completed OYO

If the PAX finished the lap at or under their baseline – 25 flutter kicks

If PAX finished above baseline – 10 burpees + 25 flutter kicks

Another lap completed OYO

If the PAX finished the lap at or under their baseline – 25 flutter kicks

If PAX finished above baseline – 10 burpees + 25 flutter kicks

Lung walk down river walk until 6 arrives

Wrap up with a group 1 mi cool down… as the KesselRun’s strength is not in numbers but its unity

BOM:

Biiing – Wife is starting round two of her training before he soon will join her and they find out if she is selected for the program in New Zealand, which one lucky PAX wouldn’t mind accompanying her… God’s will be done, protection, peace

BigBird – Peace and Encouragement as he masters bosshood during his busy season at work

Pyro – Safety and protection while traveling

PUD – Prayer for friend as she enters round two of Chemo
