11 in the PAX gathered Alcatraz on this humid Summer Tega Cay morning but after a tour of the neighborhood hills, Senator Tressel brought us back home for an ab lab in the rain. It was a welcome change from carrying your buddy up a crazy hill.

Maximus had a great idea (on paper, at least) of doing a 4-corners drill that will likely keep the PAX from washing their hair Sunday AM. A necessary audible was called to bring the PAX back together for another round of ab lab.

The Thang:
Senator Tressel on the Q:
Mosey out of Runde and run to the cul-de-sac on Mariana Court for COP All in cadence:
SSH X 40
Merkin x 15
Squat x 30
IW X 30
Mountain climbers x 20/hold/Peter Parker x 20/hold/Parker Peter x 20
Sumo Squat x 30

Mosey to base of steep hill at Tara Tea
Lunge walk up hill, walk backward down
Power skip up hill, walk backward down
Partner carry up hill, jog down, flapjack, back up hill
Mosey back to Runde Mary:
Hello Dolly x20, Rosalita x 20, boat and canoe (20 sec hold, x4), LBC x 20

Hand off to Maximus:
Split the PAX into two groups and start the 4-corners at opposite sides. Start with 20 Gator Merkins and 20 CDD then run (good luck with that) to the next corner and do 19 and so on. The one constant is your 10 Burpees at each station. The goal was to get below a 10 count but we got to 14 before I had to call an audible and bring the PAX back together for Ab Lab. I didn’t hear any complaining about that decision so I’m assuming all were in favor…AYE???

Hold the elbow plank until brother Decibel returned from the latrine.
Russian Twist
High Slow Flutter
Hold the Elbow Plank for more slow counting by the PAX

Moleskin:
Senator and I were appreciative of the opportunity to bring a little pain and sweat this morning and I think we can all agree this was a challenge. The PAX was very quiet at COT so hopefully nobody was too angry at the Q’s. For those not doing BRR, please consider the Camp Care 5K and also the Premature Oktoberfest with OMB. Check the email for all other updates, including the invergence at the end of September.
