Sixteen PAX braved the brisk morning for a little downPAINMENT at WEP. Some chatter how some PAX were impressed of those still wearing shorts (all two of us – myself and chicken wing). That decision to wear shorts on this fine 30 degree morning was contributed to one of two things; we’re that hard core or that stupid. You decide!

The Thang
PAX divided into 4 groups. Each group had a station with an exercise, once reps were completed for one station, plank until all 4 groups were done. Completed 2 cycles with following exercises:
Cycle 1:

• Squats: 50
• Tuck Jumps: 50
• Jump Lunges: 25 each leg
• LBC’s

Cycle 2:

• Merkins: 50
• Freddy Mercury
• Carolina Dry Docks: 50
• Moroccan Nightclub

Oh, did I forget to mention SUDDEN CHANGE? Every time I felt like it, sudden change was called… All PAX stopped what where they were and ran to the middle of the parking lot and had to do burpees on my count every time I said “down”. There was a total of 7 “Sudden Changes” called with a total of 75 burpees completed. (kudos to Twister for best form)

Mosey back to WEP with a small detour of bear crawls.

THE N-DRILL: Simple football drill where 4 cones are setup in the shape of an “N”. We had 2 “N-Drills” setup for a little fun and friendly competition. Teams 1&3 vs Teams 2&4. Each PAX went head to head with another from the opposite team. Finding the winner was simple, “who can complete the N-Drill the fastest”. After several rounds and each PAX getting use to the drill, we did “Winner stay on” and “loser plank up or do an exercise” until we had one champion!

To everyone’s surprise CSPAN showed his “Old Man Speed & Tenacity” to make it in the final round with, well myself. In the end, old man speed wasn’t enough to take home the gold, but was respected!

Mosey to COT

Moleskin
As it stands, Indian Land still prevails as most athletic, hardcore, handsome, awesome group in the Fort Region… pulling yet another winner from our friendly competitions (Even though, some might call a little home field advantage with the drill selected coming from a tribesman in Indian Land). All joking aside, it’s always an honor to come back to WEP and lead a bunch of great men. As we go through our week remember this, “God’s Grace Defies Reason and Logic” and no matter what we do, He’s already paid the price for us!

Bounty Hunter over and out!
