Sunrise at Kirby Cove 1-31-09


Another Kick ass workout in one of the most amazing places ever! Kirby Cove...

We ran down the Fire road through campground. To the World War II bunker. The last series of defense against attack for the Golden Gate Bridge. We ran around the bunker doing various forms of push ups, jumps and agility maneuvers. Our Scout dog Mokie was constantly on watch for any form of unwanted guests who might disrupt our workout. After a quick look at a passing ship we headed down to the beach and performed a series of Flying Burpees from the surf to the soft sand. As we finished the set of grueling movements the sun came up over the San Francisco skyline and under the Golden Gate Bridge. We then prodceeded to the "incoming drill" We ran 100 yard sprints on marble sized gravel along the shore and as the instructor screamed "INCOMING" we dove in to the gravel for a brief second and then jumped back up and proceded with our sprint through the gravel. 4 sets was enough to get the legs shaking, the heart pounding and breakfast a little restless. No scramblers today but close. Then we did an exploratory move through a drain pipe climbed back to the top of the bunker stretched a bit enjoyed the sunshine and prepared for the full on run out of the cove back to the car. No one left behind...
