4 men took on the Pantheon this morning with YHC at the helm. Numbers were lost in the battle of age v. beauty as CSPAN had a large contingent at The Coop but this group of men at Pantheon got it done this morning! There was not a lot of time for chit chat as we went to work and stayed at work until the clock struck 6:00. Originally, YHC had a rinse and repeat circuit that was intended to invoke the spillage of Merlot for any Pax that pushed themselves to the limit. The Weinke actually reads: “Rinse and repeat until you puke.” But given the number of Pax in attendance, an OMAHA was called so that we might revel in the fellowship and enjoy the pain together.

Warm-up mosey with high knees, butt kickers, reverse run and shuffles left and right. Circle (square?) up for WM, IW and Moroccan nightclubs. Mosey to front of school. YHC decided to run the original circuit one rotation and then do a little exploring off-campus. The original circuit went like this:

Station 1: Front of school – 20 Merkins, 20 Squats, 20 LBCs (originally planned as AMRAP but modified to IC)

Station 2: Top of Crop-off Circle by Gold Hill Road – 20 Wide-arm Merkins, 20 Lunges, 20 Dips (originally planned as AMRAP but modified to IC)

Station 3: Base of Amphitheater – Bear crawl to top, 5 burpees, run down R&R x5 (AMRAP)

After the initial circuit, we moseyed off campus to a nearby playground for: 20 swing crunches, 10 pull-ups, 20 swing crunches, 10 pull-ups, 20 (each leg) step ups onto a bench, then a round of People’s Donkey Ballz.

Mosey back to campus for some light-pole work: 20 squats, 20 lunges, 20 4-count Apolo Ohno, 10 diamond merkins, then to the curb for 10 rounds of rolling thunder.

The weather was perfect and so was the company this morning. All Pax attacked the workout and did not cheat themselves this morning.

COT with the usual announcements and some special prayer requests and praises that were lifted up. Thanks for sharing the gloom with me men – I look forward to the next opportunity to lead!
