These Clydesdales Gallop

Bench headlocked YHC a couple days ago to join the Clydesdales and Q at #CoopStronghold. Without ever posting, YHC was a bit hesitant but Bench is a big dude and his headlocks hurt so I agreed. After a little evening recon to scope out the AO, the weinke was prepared and YHC got to the Upper Minges parking lot about 5:20. Soon, some other PAX pulled up along with Bench and some others who got a quick EC Ruck in. 13 PAX in total, 5:30 came and we were off…

The Thang
YHC quickly learned that these Clydesdales don’t prefer to run or mosey, they like to “gallop,” so we galloped over to the tennis court hill for 11s. Bobby Hurleys were performed at the bottom of the hill. PAX bear crawled to the top of the hill, then performed WWIIs at the top. Plank for the six. Not a ton of mumble chatter during the bear crawls but no PAX fell down the hill so that was a win!

Galloped over to the concrete bench next to the Pirate statue for some Dora 1-2-3;
100 Merkins
200 LBCs
300 Squats
While the partner doing the exercises, the other partner ran to the top of The Murphy Center stairs. Partners flapjacked until all exercises were completed. Al Gore for the six.

Galloped over to the Upper Minges Parking lot for a little 4 corners fun;
All PAX started at the first corner and performed 3 Burpees. After the Burpees, they sprinted to corner 2 where they did 6 Merkins. Sprinted to corner 3 where they did 9 lunges. Sprinted to the final corner where they did 12 WWIs. Rinse and Repeat. Plank for the six.

Galloped back to the flag.

We had a few minutes to spare so no better time to use every second than to spend it with Mary. YHC called upon a PAX member where they gave us an exercise and PAX performed that exercise 12 times IC. Exercises included;
– Xs and Os
– Boxcutters
– Freddy Mercuries
– LBCs
– Flutter Kicks

Ended the workout with 2.62 miles and 526 calories burned

Moleskin
This was YHC’s first time posting at this AQ and I was impressed with the many different options for workouts and equally impressed with the lighting (great when you have to refer back to your weinke). Posting at this AO also allowed YHC to meet some new PAX and have some great 2nd F. Proud of all the Clydesdales as they pushed through the beatdown in a timely manner. If you have not posted at #CoopStronghold, I challenge you to do so! Until next time…
