10 faithful warriors greeted the Rain Gods with…”is this the best you have?”

Run to baseball field for the warm up;

The evolution of man: Dragon Merkins to first, Duck Walk to second, Bear Crawls to third, Lunge home. X2

Mosey to the back of the AO, but first another warm up round at the trailers..1st trailer, lunges, 2nd trailer, dragon merkins, bear crawls, long jumps etc.

After a solid warmup the pack ran to the basketball courts for a round of burpees and inch-worms….4 basketball hoops.. 1st basket 1 merkin burpee and jump and hit the backboard. Switch to other side of hoop and do 2 merkin burpee and jump and hit the backboard and continued through until lastly we did 8 merkins burpees.

As the rain grew angrier, we finished strong with this evolution by doing inch-worms.

The pack quickly strided over to play ground for 20 toes to bar, 1 lap, 20 derkins, and another lap to finish it out.

Mosey the field, and couldnt pass up the wall….lateral walking hand stands, about 25 ft x2.

Then the true workout started as we ran over to the practice field and the rain started to fall harder: Groups of two. 5 stations. 4 stations had 2 exercises. Each exercise lasted 2 minutes which means each station lasted 4 minutes. AMRAP

1st station: Thrusters with 2 30lb dumbells/ shoulder presses with PT log

2nd station: The Box. Run forward, side shuffle, backwards run, side shuffle, and run foward. The merkin ladder. First ladder rung 1 merkin, 2nd ladder rung 2 merkins, all the way up to 7 and then back down.

3rd station: Sandbag carry 80lbs. 100yrd partner run

4th station: Russian twists or sit ups with medicine ball/ burpees over an elevated bar

5th station: pushing a 35lb plate from your chest straight out/ squats with a 60lb sandbag

After a strong effort by everyone in the soaking rain. The bright of day was on the horizon but YHC had one more surprise before the warmth could be touched.

Backward bear crawls up a grueling hill and the bear crawl down the hill.

Moleskin:

Lots of small chatter throughout evolutions. The rain didn’t seem to bring anyone down. Heard a few grumbles as people sat in puddles doing russian twists and sit ups but nevertheless the PAX embraced it.

Pebbles almost splashed merlot on the baseball fields, but followed the no litter laws and kept it down. T-claps Pebbles to the pre-boot camp obstacle course, monkey bars carrying the sandbag between your legs, same with dips and muscle ups?! Incoorportaing the tire flip was a #Beatdown!  GMaps will bring his snorkel next time, as we almost lost him in 8 inches of water.

Solid props to FNG Hermie for a huge effort today. Brother you are always welcomed back.

One-Niner, Google Maps, Heisman, CSPAN, Beast, Airborne, Atlas, great work in the slop!..If it aint’t raining, we ain’t training!
C-SPAN thanks for the prayer and good words, making us all better men!
