It’s cold, we are old

Circle up
Warm up
Light to light stuff, up to and including bear crawl
To the benches for dips, no derkins, not a fan
Over to four corners with burpees in the middle
Down the hill for exercises (accumulating), back to the top, 4 or 5 times
Back up to the school for the last few exercises

Good work by Sawdust and prob a couple others, maybe
Plenty of modify as needed
Plenty of piss poor counting
Plenty of questionable form

Thanks peanut gallery, I couldn’t do it without you.

Looks like we made it,

Barry Manilow

Purple Unicorns with Glitter Accents

Nice morning at The Armory.

Ran the bells across the lot. dropped and circled for a warm-up.
walkers (Imperial/Hillbilly), merkins, squats, LBC, Rinse & R.

7 boards set out. Rotate from one board to the next with a short run in between. Boards had bell exercise 15 count, both sides (L & R), non-bell exercise, finished by a 10 count bell exercise, both sides.

Returned across the lot with the boards and flipped the one at a time until time ran out.

Lots of lifting.

Thanks for the opportunity, first bell Q in many, many years.

Looks like we made it,

What’s the fun in tapering

WARMUP: pledge and then ran to WEP. The run is your warmup.
THE THANG: Partner up and run opposite directions around WEP. We started out with when you meet you partner, you drop and do 10 merkins slapping hands as you come up from the merkin. With the resounding “that’s it” after initial instructions, we took off in our opposite directions.

After meeting our partners for the second time, and essentially completing 1 full lap around the park, additional exercises were included. On top of the merkins, 10 LBCs were added.

1 more full lap, 1 additional exercise…now added in 10 squats. As my partner, old bay, was responsible for telling people he passed about the new exercises, he may have told some teams the new exercises were burpees. It happens.

Last lap added in 10 flutters.
MARY: no, made it back with no time remaining.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: jaeger on 3/11, dam to dam coming up
COT: How many times do you allow ego to get in the way of potentially “good ideas”? Or how do you let ego drive decisions just because people make comments that trigger competitive tendencies? Or how do you walk into a situation thinking one thing, and then realize someone changed something you didn’t expect (every time you passed them in a big WEP circle)?
