Working to 38 (or 19) at Pantheon

WARMUP: We ran around the big loop with the occasional plank at the corners to bring the group back together. After the lap, as a group, 38 SSH I/C, Merkins 19 I/C, Flutters 38 I/C, Squats 19 I/C.
Then, run the loop again.
THE THANG: With cones set up 76yds apart and cones at the mid-point (38yds), grab a partner. As a rehash of J-WOW’s expertise from the Thanksgiving Convergence, we did the Partner Push from one end to the mid-point (38yds). Then your partner would push on the return. Complete this 5 times.
Now, get on the opposite end from your partner, 76yds apart. Bear crawl to the middle, 5 partner merkins, run back to your end, 19 Mountain Climbers I/C. Then repeat.
Now, get into 2 lines, facing your partner.
19 Carolina Dry Docks I/C
19 Diamond Merkins I/C
19 American Hammers I/C
19 Squats I/C
19 Calf Raises I/C
On the curb, 19 Mike Tysons I/C
38 American Hammers I/C
MARY: See above
ANNOUNCEMENTS: After nearly 3 years as our Pantheon Site Q, 38 Special has graced me with the Shovel Flag of this special site. To say I am excited is an understatement and there are more good things in store for this AO on the West side of our mill town. I’ll be recruiting past Site Q’s to join me in taking a flag; it’s time.
