33 men of The Fort posted on a soggy morning for a frolic in the gloom.  24 pax ran the Joe Davis 5k course as a preview and 9 pax exercised their vocal chords along with their bodies on a 12 Days of Christmas tour through Fort Mill.

The Thang

COP (12 reps IC of everything) – Mtn climbers, IWs, Peter Parkers, Windmills, Merkins, SSHs

Mosey to playground

12 pull-ups

Run 1 lap around playground

12 pull-ups

Proceed on series of runs to 12 various markers in town (ie, Confederate Park, Hardees, fire station, post office, etc) with stops at each marker for 12 reps of various exercises (ie, burpees, monkey humpers, CDDs, merkins, etc).  All pax took a turn leading an exercise.  Each exercise was followed by singing one round of 12 Days of Christmas for recovery before launching to the next stop.

Run home

T-claps to all pax for ignoring Mr Cantore and posting in the rain!  In case there was any doubt that the rain may hold off, the skies opened up promptly at 0515. Bring it on!

S/O to the Area 51 pax who posted for a taste of Joe Davis 5k course.  Good to have you guys along for the fun.  We look forward to another round of friendly competition with the SOBs come Jan 9.

While the Laces In pax won’t be sought after by American Idol or The Voice any time soon, they certainly left it all out on the course.  Thanks for stepping outside your comfort zone with zeal. In the words of Buddy the Elf, “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is to sing out loud for all to hear.” Special props go to El Diablo for recalling Lords a Leaping and Maids a Milking among others…that Duke education is clearly paying off.

Thanks to Twister for the chance to lead.  It is always an honor.

Merry Christmas to all!
