The Jaunt

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
THE THANG: #C02P7E2V66B — “The Jaunt” 🎒

Six PAX stepped into the gloom this morning for what YHC advertised as a simple little jaunt around Fort Mill.

Apparently, “jaunt” has a very flexible definition at Soul to Sole. 😂

@UJKGM3VKJ, @U0AR7NYUGTE, @UMDE5QUET, and @U097M51KFEW clearly understood the assignment. They pushed the pace, flirted with the limits, and somehow rolled back into COT right on time looking like responsible adults!

Then there was @U0818FC8SUS and YHC.
We also pushed the limit. Unfortunately, we pushed it about seven minutes past COT. 🤣 Somewhere around Self Street and Jackson Street, the philosophy became: “We’re not late… we’re just getting bonus miles.”

The PAX waited. The clock kept ticking. @U0818FC8SUS and YHC eventually emerged from the darkness, presumably just before a search party, helicopter, and Amber Alert for two middle-aged men with rucks were activated.

And because one video apparently couldn’t contain all of this athletic excellence, today’s cinematic masterpiece had to be split into TWO parts. Hollywood calls those sequels. Soul to Sole calls it poor time management.
Final score:
6 PAX went out.
6 PAX eventually returned.
4 beat the clock.
2 got their money’s worth.
Another successful morning at Soul to Sole — where we go the distance… occasionally farther than the schedule permits. 😂 3.70 miles
Aye! 💪🎒

WARMUP: BC led that….it involved burpees in cadence, but only after some creative running

THE THANG: Split into 3 groups, was gonna be 4, but Tesh was late. Rotated at Esso's whistle. Band Camp's job was to travel the groups in reverse and …… "encourage" full completion of the exercises

Esso had arms
Shady had core
Slash had legs

It was pretty solid. We know this because Esso could barely move his arms after doing it 3 times, Shady has a massive F3 tramp stamp from the situps, and Slash actually worked out the full duration according to all accounts

MARY: Again Band Camp called more burpees.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Newsletter
14th year convergence at WEP on 9/29

COT: We discussed why shield lock is important. AND that it may not work the first….or second….or third time you try to form one. A man leads from his shield lock, without it I'm not going to be the leader I'm capable of being.

It's kinda like having access to outside consultants who know what's up and are tasked with being honest to you even when you don't want it.

Hominy is tired, and he is improvising.

Leave a comment

I improvised this plan

Warmup exercises, slightly off from the normal warmup location.

Slow mosey around the grounds, around Lowe’s towards the Chick-fil-a parking lot. Stopped to do some extended planks, stopped to do a few exercises in cadence.

At the Chick-fil-a parking lot. Did an 80-160-240 DORA. Merkins. Squats. LBC.

I didn’t do burpees because I am fundamentally opposed to burpees in a moderate workout. However, before I finished explaining that, some PAX already cranked out a couple of burpees.

Bear crawl across the Chick-fil-a parking lot.

Mosey back to COT area.

Sevens. Calf raises on curb and merkins.

Mary. Peach Stand called Freddy Mercuries. Some others called a few exercises; I don’t remember which exercises anybody else called. I closed us out with an exercise right at 0600 on the dot.

COT. Peach Stand and Marty Byrde had to leave early. We were down to 5. What is said in COT stays in COT, but I can tell you that we shared some good stuff. Sometimes it’s easier to open up with a smaller number of PAX.
