Saturday Rest Day?

Not quite.  A few of us got together at 11 am for an unofficial workout.  Those present had been warned the day prior; this would not be a WOD for the weak of heart, or mind.  

The "Mad Mile" is another in our sad series of Goodbye workouts.  It was thought up by Jack, one of our good friends from WOD's past.  Happy workouts on the Left Coast, brah.

The workout takes place at a track.  Guy's rx weight is 135.  Women's rx is 75 for the first lap and 25 pound plates for round three.

First lap - Clean bar to rack position.  Push weight overhead anyhow.  Drop weight on your upper back as if in High Bar Back Squat position.  Walk one lap around the track (400m).

Second lap - 200m of Burpee Broad Jumps (half the track).  You may only proceed as far as you can jump; i.e., no stepping forward.  The other half is a 200m Bear Crawl.

Third lap - strip your bar of its plates.  Pick up one plate in each hand, and walk around the track (400m).  This could be considered a 400m Farmer's Walk.  It is not.  It is referenced as the 'Hulk Walk' for this particular workout.

Fourth lap - 200m Walking Lunges.  The last half is a 200m backwards victory run.

Celebrate.  You have earned it.
