We were joined by Deadbolt from the Raleigh area. Got to talk a bit before we started, but gave disclaimer at 0515 and got started.
WARMUP;
Downward dog/honey mooner
SSH (IC – sort of…apparently I had inflection that made Poppins think we were stopping at 10).
THE THANG:
Moseyed over to back of school, balls to wall while each person does 3 burpees
Then did wall squats while PAX ran around the loop (another Poppins shout-out, this HIM is sneaky fast #sprinter)
Next we headed over by the band room area. We got to see the horses and YHC learned that is why it’s called the Ranch (#themoreyouknow)
@bobber asked if we’d get to do Bobby Hurleys like I called at a previous Q…he was excited when he heard what I had next..a Dora with:
100 lunges (single count leg)
200 Carolina dry docks
300 Bobby Hurleys (audibled to 250 when I recalled how awful these were and my form was getting pretty bad)
400 Freddy Mercury
Bonus round of burpees for a few of us as the last group finished.
Headed to the playground for a Pull up/merkins series (5 OYO/6 IC, 4/5, 3//4)
Sasquatch led some mountain climbers at COT while YHC grabbed my phone from the car to do video namorama!

Shout out to the originator, Jekyll. He started this many years ago. Each week during the month of June, he would q this workout at Laces. Pax would show each week trying to get better each week.
I have a love hate relationship with this workout.
1. First workout I posted to in the Fort (many yrs ago)
2. 2nd workout I brought Shady to. He hated me for a few days after
3. First workout I q’d after my heart attack (2 yrs ago). The one and only time I believe Pax allowed the Q to clipboard Q.
WARMUP: complaints about heat/humidity then pledge and then a slightly below average description of the workout (sorry backdraft and quack)
THE THANG: run to Whiteville Park neighborhood. snake/zipper through neighborhood starting out going left on Leroy to start. 10 wide arm merkins every left intersection/corner, 10 squats every center crossing (springs), 10 diamond merkins every right intersection/corner.
Then mosey back to CoT
average was about 70 reps of each exercise and 3.5miles
MARY: mostly dysfunctional
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Happy Bday Jekyll
COT: praise to #thefort on bringing home the 2022 hog and coyote trophy
Thanks for the opportunity Jekyll, was an honor to lead the men this morning.
Walking with rucks and solid mumble chatter
WARMUP: quick mosey, low slow squats, cherry pickers, merkins (stayed here for a minute), mountain climbers, plank jack, honeymooner, downward dog, bomb jacks for DH…more mosey, ran to the thang
THE THANG: A pile of goodies awaited us. Partnered up and found 1 item to share. Partner 1 did the exercise and called out the number they thought they could hit, partner 2 ran to the corner of the parking lot. Switch when partner 2 returned who also shared their guess on reps while partner 1 ran. Penalties were given for over/under and hitting numbers (this was all made up on the spot and math came into play). We rotated after each partner did the one exercise and the penalty after each round.
Exercises included:
-45 lb plate: round 1 shrugs, round 2 calf raises
-sandbag: round 1 man maker, round 2 shoulder press
-35 lb KB: R1 swings, R2 curls
-30 lb KB: R1 squats, R2 pass through lunges
-25 lb KB: R1 triceps extension, R2 plank row
-Ruck: R1 merkins, R2 chest press
We made it to round 2 for about 2-3 rotations. Penalties included merkins, bomb jacks, flutters, burpees, diamond merkins, etc. How much you went over or under drove the number of exercises and some of these had a multiplier…there was zero rhyme or reason to this.
MARY: No Mary today.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots in the newsletter, check that out
COT: lift up Sawdust’s mom who recently fell and lost a friend this past week
WARMUP: 1 min plank of gratitude. Each man must say one thing he’s greatful for. Go around the circle until time is up. SSH, HOLA HOOP, HOOP Hola
THE THANG: introduced necessary exercises during warmup. . Going to run around front parking lot loop and stopping at each corner to do one set of a given exercise. 4 corners with standing penguins, cha-cha merkins, jump lunges and suicide squats. Got close to 3 miles in. Also paid tribute to the five year anniversary of loosing one of our own. Sleeveless4cheech. To honor John “Cheech” Flanagan
