Dronefield Part Deux – A Bucket of Suck

Five pax showed their support for YHC (and arguably their lack of good judgment) by posting for the second monthly-ish unsanctioned Northside beatdown that somehow got named Dronefield.  These pax know from firsthand experience that YHC is no professional, so a disclaimer was deemed unnecessary.  With coupons in hand, we set out to make this the hardest part of our day.

Conditions: Hinting at next week’s heat wave

Warmup:

• 12 x Don Quixote IC
• 12 x Michael Phelps IC
• 15 x Reachers IC
• 10 x Lateral coupon jump overs OYO
• 10 x Forward/backward coupon jump overs OYO (maybe a disclaimer was necessary after all)

Cinder Block 11’s:

• Round 1 – Lunges & Overhead squats
  • Plank for the 6
• Round 2 – Thrusters & KBS
  • 6″ for the 6
• Round 3 – Blockees & Curls
  • Flutter kicks for the 6

Iron Compass:

• Start at the intersection of 9th and Laura, the center of the “compass”
• Run one block east to Main, 25 Werkins, run back, 25 Werkins
• Run one block north to 10th, 25 Merkins, run back, 25 Merkins
• Run one block west to Silver, 25 Diamond Merkins, run back, 25 Diamond Merkins
• Run one block south to 8th, 25 stagger left Merkins, run back, 25 stagger right Merkins
• Total: 200 Merkins

Sweaty Moleskin:

• About halfway through the second set of thrusters was when Bowzer dubbed this particular combination of 11’s “a bucket of suck.”
• Pyro smoked us all on the Iron Compass and achieved near-Farah sweat levels in the process.
• Confession time – YHC was so out of it that I forgot to modify to Diamond and stagger Merkins on the third and fourth legs and just suffered through reg’lar Merkins the whole way.
• In all seriousness, I can’t say enough how grateful I am for brothers who would come out of their way to support me and accommodate my geographic limitations in this season.  Without community, I’m toast.

Announcements/TAP:

• Memorial Day MURPH at Anthill @ 0700.  Nan’tan Heisenberg has declared it.  So shall it be written, so shall it be done.
• Bowzer – M’s health; starting new career, need to start generating income before quitting current day job
• PUD – SOD is graduating this week!
• Drone – isolation, humility to ask for help (need guys checking in), M’s ongoing health struggles

Until next month (hopefully sooner),

Drone – signing off.
