The Fort and Winnsboro combined to bring the vacation pain this fine Thursday for the 3rd official workout of Launch week.  Weather was perfect and spirits were high until the Pax were informed that the heat was about to be turned up a notch since they were all veterans by this point.  Start was a decent paced mosey around the main field and then circle it up for a co-led warm-up that looked something like this:

25 SSH

20 IW

25 Double-count Merkins

25 Moroccan Nightclubs

25 LBCs

10 each side Turkish Get-ups (crowd pleaser)

30 Overhead claps

The Thang Part 1 (Chaser) – we moseyed to a line of 12 trees spaced approx. 20 yards apart near the entrance to the parking area and set the tone:

• Round One (from tree to tree, rinse & repeat until the end)
  • Burpee Broad Jumps
  • Bear Crawl
  • Lunge Walk
  • When finished everyone was to circle back and finish alongside the 6
• Round Two
  • Burpee Lunge Walk
  • Crab Walk
  • Bunny Hops
  • When finished everyone was to circle back and finish alongside the 6
• Mosey back to the main field

The Thang Part 2 (Doobie)

Pax were told to partner up – preferably picking a partner you didn’t know well.  Each pair was to complete 100 Burpees/ 200 LBC/ 300 air squats as a team.  While partner 1 works on the exercise, partner 2 runs across the field and back (50-60 yards each way). Partners flapjack after run and resume count.  When your “team” finished, you were to continue the running legs until Team 6 was finished.

All teams finished and we absolutely stuck the landing with a quick mosey over to the shovel flag for the BOM.

Moleskin:

• Great work by all Pax today with a workout that turned up the heat a little bit.  Lots of encouragement throughout and reminders that you don’t get up this early (especially on vacation) to half-ass it.
• HeeHaw is really fast at the bear crawl, crab walk, bunny hop, lunge walks and…well…everything.  When he returns to lead this group again, the gloves will be off.
•  It was an honor to lead this emerging group and the fire is already there to keep this going and growing long term.  #ISI, #HIM, #GetBetter.
