8 Men showed up to #Colosseum this fine morning and were welcomed to chilly temps and a #Weinke that looked good on paper…don’t they all. Disclaimer presented and off we moseyed to the basketball court for some warm-up. 10 WM, 10, IW, 10 low slow squats, 20 SSH and a plank series to loosen up the muscles. Pax then moseyed down to the field to put in some work. It was a chilly morning but not cold…however, it was cold enough that by the time we got down to the field, nobody could find their Package….#PrematureEvacuation.

The Thang

Burpee Dash: Start at the end zone, sprint to the 10 yd line and do 1 burpee, sprint to the 20 and do 2, sprint to the 30 and do 3, etc. etc. until the other end zone yields 10 burpees. (55 total burpees) Finish and sprint back down the field and LBCs until the 6 comes home.

Merkin Dash: Same concept as above except the count was by 5s. So, sprint to 10 yd line for 5 merkins, 20 yd line for 10 merkins, etc. etc. until the other end zone yields 50 merkins Appropriate modifier was CDD. (275 total merkins/CDD) Finish and sprint back down the field and LBCs until the 6 comes home.

Squat Dash: As above with 5 counts. (275 total squats)

Mosey to the entrance hill. Lunge walk up the hill then mosey back to the base. Reverse lunge walk up the hill then mosey over to COT to stick the landing at 0600.

Great group this morning and the burpee dash quickly shut down the #mumblechatter…even from Gump. #Mumblechatter picked back up a bit during the Squat Dash and hill portion with Ginsu and Seacrest recounting the NCSU/Clemson game. Apparently there was a merkin bet payoff that was put on hold since most agreed 275 was probably plenty for one day.

Announcements were plentiful. Convergence Friday at Slow Burn followed by 3rd F, Christmas party, Nov. 19 various happenings, Joe Davis run, Baxter trail race this weekend, ASG races this weekend, etc. Read your newsletter.

Prayers for family, parents and the injured.

Thankful for the health and ability to get out and do this nonsense and prayers that we take that same ethic out into the world we are in and make a difference.

As always, thanks for the opportunity – Tchaser, out!
