Intro:

Just realized this is YHC’s V-BB…

Tried to explore all that The Blacktop has to offer and think outside the box… this made for a wicked BD. Ended up at the spotlights in front of WCC’s main sign to show our skillz (more like lack of) to all of Ridgewalk Pkwy.

Warm-o-Rama:

Mosey (tour-de-blacktop), Weedpickers, SSH, Imperial Squat Walkers

The Thang:

Mosey to the WCC spolights @ main sign on Ridgewalk Pkwy.

YHC split the PAX into pairs for a modified Dora to make the most of the wall in front of the main WCC sign. Runner PAX would go about 100 yds down the sidewalk and back while the other PAX worked down this list cumulatively, switching places after each run:
50 – burpees
100 – decline carolina dry docks
150 – wall jumps
200 – derkins
250 – dips
300 – flutter kicks (sitting on the wall)

Picked up the 6.
Mosey back to flag just in time to get the HIMs on their way to the 3rd F.

COT:

Named FNG Vespa. About half had to peel out for 3rd F breakfast… something about Homeboy punishment if they're late. Smurfette (6th man) shared good words about anxiety. YHC shared about embracing doubt and the unknown as an opportunity to lean into God. Hard Hittin added some hard hittin wisdom that our identity (who God says we are) is what really matters.
"truth is strong enough to stand on it's own… it doesn't need our help"

Naked Man Moleskin:

All were pleased to hear Mt Killamylunga was not in the plan but were soon disappointed with its replacement for the morning. Minimal mumblechatter during the Thang. Despite a few thoughts and mentions of merlot, including YHC, no splashes were seen. Decline carolina dry docks are stupid. Much of Riverstone Pkwy traffic wonders what WCC is thinking with such a weird roadside advertisement at 5am… why not use those cool sign flippers?? Without the bro-courage passed between PAX on the runs, most (YHC included) would not have finished. YHC's biggest disappointment as well as biggest relief was that time ran out for part 2 @ Mt Vesuvius… next time. FNG rides a Harley and was aptly named VESPA… YHC surprised to learn Vespa's M was in the car the whole time… she said she couldn't sleep, but she's really wondering what the heck Vespa got himself mixed up in. Last thought – Panhandle and Hard Hittin were actually RACING during the runs while YHC shoved the merlot back down. I love this stuff!
