Chatter, Krakens, Fellowship more chatter and more Krakens

Leave a comment

WARMUP: mosey to playground parking lot – burpees, windmills, imperial and hillbilly walkers, more burpees, squats, holding people’s chair for Moroccan night clubs and air presses while mumblechatter escalated quickly. Pusher enjoyed the view of YHC’s good side at this point of the workout.  Planks ensued along with a few Broga poses, Peter Parker’s and merkins.  From there we moseyed to the bus loop for the main event.

THE THANG: partners took turns alternating running between ab stations and 4 exercise stations. The stations were comprised of 8 burpees or 8 kraken burpees (which Dark Helmet loved), 18 of another exercise and 22 of another – Carolina dry docks, derkins, squats, lunges, merkins and side straddle hops (because YHC did not include them in the warm up) specifically. PAX did all of them and got 1% better.

After 8 rounds were completed between partners, we moseyed around the school, recited the pledge to honor those serving our country and protecting our freedoms. Then moseyed past three more light poles were 3 burpees were done at each one.  Just because.  

MARY: Sasquatch led 2 minutes of Broga which brought us to 0600.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: We’re exclaimed
COT: Prayers were offered.  And we welcomed FNG Sweat Shop.

YHC is grateful for the culture and fellowship we are so fortunate to have in the Fort. Showing up in the gloom each morning for the man next to us truly enables acceleration beyond just the workout.  

Thanks to Poppins for the call to Q.  It’s always an honor to lead.

Gratefully,
Cyclops
