It was a crisp 25 degrees as YHC walked up to the shovel flag just after 0500hrs. Some of The Fort’s finest, but not all, began to arrive in varying conditions.
DISCLAIMER: The mumblechatter started early, YHC felt honored to have the usual suspects in attendance, so a strong disclaimer was shouted out.
WARMUP:
Mosey to the pharmacy – Band Camp, in typical Weasel Shaker fashion, tried to push the pace since he was already warm from running to AO. CoP in pharmacy parking lot. Those suspects ramped up the heckling here, an endearing jester, but we pushed on:
– 25 SSH IC
– 10 LSS IC
– 10 Imperial Walkers IC
– 10 Hillbilly Walkers IC
– 10 MNCs IC
– Yoga

THE THANG:
Moseyed down to the parking lot behind Italian Job’s rehearsal dinner. He reminisced for the PAX as we began The Thang.
– Lunges down 3 travel lanes
– Bear crawls back down 3 travel lanes
– Burpee broad jumps down 3 travel lanes
– Toy Soldiers down 3 travel lanes.

Moseyed to Pike parking lot at top of Massey. Shoulder taps for the 6. Partner up for DORA. One PAX runs to bottom of Massey and back while other does the following exercises.
– 100 Merkins
– 200 Squats
– 300 LBCs

Finished with enough time to hit the Pike wall for 3 rounds of burpee waterfall while we did wall sits.

MARY: Flutters

ANNOUNCEMENTS: D2D Bar, State of the Union tonight, Blood Drive!

COT: Stays in COT

Eight men showed up this morning for the party. Quick disclaimer, few steps back, warm-ups (SSHs, IWs, WMs).
Next, we moseyed to the Pharma. Plank exercises, merkins, Peter Parker, Wide Arm Merkins, Parker Peter, 6 inch hold.
We then made our way to the old Hardees parking lot. I thought it was repaved, but it was rough as sandpaper. Crab walk from one end to the other, stopping at each parking stripe for 10 LBCs. Back the other way, bear crawl with merkins at every stop. We were now soaking wet with bruised hands.
Jog to Unity church for a Dora (CDDs, Squats, Flutters), run to bottom of the hill and back.
We made our last stop at the Footloose AO. Keeping our same partners, Partner 1 ran to the end of the lot and back while Partner 2 bear crawled. Flipflop upon return.
