Tangled Mess

Leave a comment

WARMUP: arriving late (doh) I missed the warm up and when I caught up saw some SSH like activity. I jumped in with apologies for tardiness and kicked off 10x LSS, 20x Merkin, MC & Peter Parker then some runner’s stretching. Distribute resistance bands for leg warm up exercices (not enough to go around, doh), and one-arm rows, and alternate those / jump rope. While untangling the jump ropes I believe it was @band_camp who thankfully took the lead with burpees until untangling completed, if they didn’t get in 20 they got close.
THE THANG: 3 sets of exercise scrawled on crumpled paper one on each of 3 orange cones (why cones? I have no idea, I have a very nice whiteboard collecting dust in my garage, thankfully no one asked):
1: 100 Gas Pumpers, 50 jump rope, run 1/4 mile-ish
2. 25 Hello Dollies, 25 Burpees, 50 Jump Roppe, run 1/4 mile
3. 100 Big Boys, 50 Jump Rope, run 1/4 mile
MARY: 15 H2H, 20 Rosalita, 21 LBC
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots of 2nd F all over the area next week, a few postponed CSAUPs, too much for my small brain to retain, see slack
COT: Poppins took the lead asking each PAX to give thanks and ask for prayer requests which allowed each man to share more than we usually hear in COT including thanks for 2.0 recovering from potentially life threatening scare & prayers to bring us closer to our Ms and family through the holidays which always bring challenges
