10 strong PAX this morning at the beaches of Normandy

Moving with a purpose

Run to the lower parking lot for COT:

  • SSH x25, load sandbags – forward lunges x20, reverse lunges x20, squat press/pushes alternating shoulders x20, low slow squats x20.

Run to upper parking lot:

  • Stand sandbag on end. Double merkin vertical burpee over the SB x20
  • Run 30 yds to next station
  • Stand sandbag on end. Double merkin horizontal burpee over the SB x20
  • Run 30 yds to next station
  • Double merkin burpee with SB x20
  • Plank wait for six

Run to court – find wall:

  • 1 merkin balls to the wall
  • Run 15 yds
  • Hold SB over head 30 second count (crowd pleaser)
  • 2 merkin…repeat…all the way to 5 balls to the wall

YHC screwed up and wasn’t very clear on directions, so with some clarity, we did number 6.

Mosey to the baseball field:

Bounding – Find Partner:

  • P1/P2 start from plank
  • P1 grabs/drags/pulls both SB, runs 50yds
  • P2 10 Turkish Get ups

Rinse/Repeat x5

More Shoulders…

  • Merkin SB shoulder pulls x10
  • Run to stairs; find a partner, wheel barrow up the stairs, merkin at each step. (Flapjack)
  • Rinse/Repeat X3

Done.

Moleskin:

  • Lots of mumblechatter, YHC thought the PAX were about to revolt, but using the element of surprise and diversionary devices (sandbags) kept the group moving forward. #NoExfil
  • Great morning in the gloom, misty, foggy and muddy….character building
  • All PAX, despite some pre-labor moaning noises, rose up and performed exceptionally.
  • Heisman showed the commitment and the drive of the entire group by crushing the wheel barrow merkin stair climb!….something about marines sux…ha!
  • ….ran out of time, bear crawls were next in the stack.
  • 5/2 Year Anniversary Rock Hill
  • 4/18 and 4/25 The Reservation is supporting the Gastonia Launch
  • Gladiator Games (sorry I missed the dates)
  • C-SPAN thanks for taking us out!

With this morning’s effort, you made the Q easy….Thanks for the opportunity men!

Semper Fi
