9 bootcampers and 7 ruckers landed at Golden Corral for a buffet of painful options.  Drummond brought an FNG (later named “Manifold”) to partake in the meal.  Don’t know about any of the other bootcampers, but YHC was thankful not to be part of the rucking group when Rad rolled the giant tractor tire out of the back of his truck. No bueno.

5:15 arrived, and after a disclaimer was offered, the bootcampers took off for a mosey around Rite-Aid, down to the auto-repair place, and back to the front of Harris Teeter.  Stops were made along the way for various warm up exercises, including:

• SSH
• Imperial Walkers
• Mountain Climbers
• Sumo Squats
• Peter Parkers
• Dips
• Windmills

38 Special came in hot, and caught up with us after our second stop on the warm-up run.

The Thang

At the stopping point in front of HT was the bucket of pain.  But this time the instructions were different than previous BoP appearances.  Here’s how it went:

1. First exercise was drawn from the bucket.  Pax did 5 reps.
2. Second exercise was drawn.  Pax did 10 reps of it, then repeated the 5 reps of the first exercise
3. Third exercise was drawn.  Pax did 15 reps of it, then 10 of the second exercise, then 5 of the first.

Routine continued until 5 exercises were drawn (which had 25 reps).  Once completed, pax took a run around the entire front parking lot of the shopping center.  We had time to do this twice.  Here were the exercises.

1. Round 1:
   1. 5 merkins
   2. 10 burpees
   3. 15 squat jacks
   4. 20 POGO (10 each leg)
   5. 25 plank punches
2. Round 2:
   1. 5 jumping lunges
   2. 10 low, slow squats
   3. 15 moroccan night clubs
   4. 20 flying squirrels
   5. 25 Crab Cakes

After our second round (and run around the parking lot) we had time for a few minutes of Mary:

• Flutters
• LBCs
• Chopsticks
• Alphabet Soup
• American Hammer

Time was up, and we headed back to COT.

Excellent work by all men.  T-Claps to Mainfold for his first post, and to 38 Special for his second post (in as many days). Thanks to Decibel for the privilege of Q’ing.
