14 ready Pax and perfect weather awaited YHC for another run at Q at #Pantheon. It was dark and outlines of the Pax was about the best I could make out before I noticed a beam of light heading in our direction…based on speed alone, I guessed a shooting star but alas, ’twas Aquaman rolling in to the gloom hot from a little EC run. So, after a quick FNG check (none) and a disclaimer (lackluster), we headed off into the gloom.

Counterclockwise mosey around the main parking lot/drop off area with a healthy mix of butt kicker, high knees, side shuffles, knee pulls and ankle pulls before heading over to the back parking lot to circle up and warm up…

Warm-Up: 10 WM, Plank series, 20 SSH, 10 Low Slow Squats, 20 Slooooow Merkins, Maybe something else, I forget..

THE THANG (partner up):

Round #1 (200 Merkins): Partner #1 completes Burpee broadjumps from one island to the next (approx. 40 yrds) then moseys back around to Partner #2 to continue chipping away at the 200 Merkins.

Round #2 (200 Squats): Partner #1 completes Inchworms from one island to the next (approx. 40 yrds) then moseys back around to Partner #2 to continue chipping away at the 200 Squats.

Round #3 (300 LBCs): Partner #1 completes Gator Merkins from one island to the next (approx. 40 yrds) then moseys back around to Partner #2 to continue chipping away at the 300 LBCs – CROWD PLEASER!

Mosey over to the 3-leveled Amphitheater – one of my favorite locations of any Fort AO

Round #1: Bearcrawl up level 1, Backwards bearcrawl up level 2, Bearcrawl up level 3 – 10 Burpees at the top then mosey back down

Round #2 Sprint to the top – 10 Hand release Burpees then mosey back to the bottom

RINSE & REPEAT

Mosey back to the COT to stick the landing at 0600.

Time flew by this morning and that was all we got to despite a few more fun twists awaiting on the mental Weinke…Great work by all involved and an absolutely perfect morning in the gloom!

Thanks as always for the honor to lead such a group of HIMs. Truly a pleasure.
