I’m really going to hate having to post this but it is too funny not to. Elvis showed up on the Recon this morning at Winthrop….
YHC, Bogey, and Popeye took off at 0515 to explore the beautiful Winthrop campus. The weather was perfect for some pain and punishment!

The Thang…..

Started off with a COP in the Oakland Ave Presbyterian church parking lot for a quick warm up.

In Cadence …

20 SSH

20 Windmills

10 Merkins

and a minute or two of planks

Then we moseyed around the west end of campus thru the gardens to the courtyard let our BLIMPS take off with a trip down and up the long steps between each exercise. Somewhere in the middle of our stair climbs Bogey started mumbling about Elvis … so Popeye and I made sure to hang out upwind!

Switched Q’s and Popeye led us in circles that started with 25 count merkins at the bridge, each lap we dropped it by 5. At this point Bogey was starting to cry, so he took off in search of an unlocked door.

As Bogey was hunting for some open facilities we tested out the amphitheater, which started with 15 box jumps and a bear crawl up the seats. At the top we played around with some deficit leg lifts, LBC’s and the peoples chair. Just as we finished up Bogey came limping back, with the look of grave despair. But, being the USMC he is, Bogey recovered and AYG over the east side of campus stopping for some derkins and eventually falling into a slow walk as one of us fought to keep Elvis from leaving the building. We hot trotted back for the COT and Bogey raced to the 7/11!

Popeye and I wrapped up with Nameorama (man that’s fast with 2 guys!) and Bogey reported in via text!

Popeye took us out with words of thankfulness and encouragement.

Can’t wait to see what the AO holds! It was an honor to lead my VQ at an AO Recon! Thanks for joining me guys!

Official Launch date TBD but more than likely 5/12/15 so come on out!
-Catfish – out!
