Fourteen men converged on the soggy campus of Tega Cay Elementary for another beatdown at the Pantheon.   Here is what they did:

The Thang:

Nice,  easy jog around the loop in the front of the school, and follow the path to the basketball court in the back for COP:

All in cadence:

SSH x 50, Merkn x 10, Windmill x 20, Squat x 25, LBC x 25, Diamond Merk x 15, IW x 25,         MCx20/Peter Parker x 20/6″ hold/Parker Peter x 20/6″ hold (no break)

Mosey to the swingset and split into two groups:

Group 1:  Ab swings

Group 1:  Jump up, grab the top cross bar,  and swing through.

Flapjack when everyone swings the lengh of the swingset  (15 reps.)

Mosey down one flight of stairs to the retaining wall and count off by 2’s

Group 1:  Run down the stair flights  all the way to the bottom and head back up

Group 2: Choose a wall height (Olympic, NCAA, Varsity, JV, or Middle School),  pull yourself up and jump down.  Continue pull ups until Group 1 gets back.  Flapjack

Mosey over the the ampitheater base for modified Jacob’s ladder:

Round 1:  5 merkins, bearcrawl to 1st tier, 10 merkins, bearcrawl to 2nd teir, 15 merkins, bearcrawl to 3rd tier, 20 merkins, run back down the hill and plank.

Round 2:  Same as round 1, but do dips and crabwalk to next tier, run back down hill and plank

Round 3 Same as round 1, but do burpees and run to next tier.   Mosey to COT after completing last set of burpees.

This was my VQ at the Pantheon and it was great to have 14 strong for it.  Had fun trying out new things at a new AO, and as usual, I was a little leary about doing certain things (running stairs in the dark, jumping and grabbing a big, wet crossbar), but thankfully no one slipped or tripped,  and we all made it to COT in one piece.   I appreciate the Pax keeping me from ‘clotheselining’ on that yellow chain at the start of the workout.   My ankle is still healing from stepping in a pothole last week – #notpayingattention

Have to shout out to Aquaman who led the pack on the Jacob’s ladder,  and to the one or two (Chaser?) who chose the Olympic height retaining wall for the pull ups and did a bonus round – respect!

Great work by everyone today.  It’s always a pleasure to lead such a fine group and I can’t think of a better way to start my Wednesday.

Announcements:  check the newsletter or Twitter.  It’s all there.

Prayers:  forgot to ask for prayer requests this morning.  My apologies, men.
