Tega Cay Elementary has been the site of several Black Diamonds and a Field Trip or two from the Golden Corral. So it was fitting that we installed it as an official AO today. As I rolled in there were some eager PAX waiting to get at it. Gears took a stroll from his house and mentioned he took the front route because he thought the stairs in back of the school might be too dark and dangerous. A quick mosey by YHC confirmed this to be true and the weinke was modified, but not much. No FNGs, brief disclaimer, and since Cerrano would be celebrating his birthday, I wanted to wish him a Happy Burpday. Thus began an intense and grueling…

Thang:

Right off the bat, 10 Burpees OYO

Mosey around the front of the school to the back parking lot. Circle up for some COP.

Mosey to the bottom of the Stairs back service road. Here we began a Bent Jacob since we wouldn’t be using the stairs. 7 Bomb Jacks at Start, run the length of the back (50-75 yds) and do 1 Burpee at the other end. Run back and do 6 Bomb Jacks, Run back for 2 Burpees and so on. Not a lot of mumble chatter. PAX was focused on getting the work done.

Once completed, mosey to the front of the school for a DORA 1-2-3 combo. Forgot how much I love/hate these until Smuggler re-introduced me last Saturday at Alcatraz. PAX partnered up and proceeded to have one partner do the following while the other ran to the school awning and back (50-75yds). Flip Flop and continue counting the exercise until you reach the 1-2-3 goal. Goals were 100 Dips, 200 Flutter Kicks and 300 Lunges.

Once we put DORA to bed, we moseyed to the wall for a little bit.

BTTW for 3-10 Counts

BTTW for 2-10 Counts

With about 1 minute left we moseyed to the driveway and finished off with 20 Burpees OYO (Crowd Pleaser by Far).

Thanks to Gears for the PSA. Don’t want any PAX getting injured. I’ll find a lighting solution for the stairs or require headlamps (hazardous for YHC: see #TheCoop) when working in the back. Note to self, calling out cadence is quite difficult when stacking Burpees for COP. I could barely catch my breath on the Merkin set. Great work by the PAX this morning. Mumble chatter was light but everyone was in good spirits. Tclaps to Dark Helmet for catching on to the morning’s theme. Thanks to Funhouse for AbLab while waiting for 6 and convincing me to not modify the 300 lunge set on the 1-2-3 (If it’s on the weinke you do it). This AO has a lot to offer. I am looking forward to seeing what other Qs bring to it (Now Hiring). If you live in or near Tega Cay, this should definitely be in your weekly rotation. Pantheon is home to the Titans (School’s mascot). Always an honor. Oh, final Burpee count was 103 and 2.5 Miles. Aye!
