Bing was in town. It was a real good time.

Bing probably has a much more interesting version of all this, but suffice it to say, it was a good time. I went first half and Bing ended the hour. It’s not going to be a great backblast, but it will capture the fact that there were men there and what their names were. That’s gotta count for something…

WARMUP:
We did.

THE THANG:
We lifted some stuff. Then Bing made us do a lot of Bear Crawling and something called a “Pit of Misery”. Hateful stuff…

MARY:
No chicks.

No more burpees….sort of.

WARMUP: mosey to fire station lot
Windmills, low slow squats, imperial and hillbilly walkers and seal jacks all in cadence with a few burpees in between exercises – but just a few. YHC said no more burpees – but YHC should have said no more burpees…..for now.

THE THANG: part 1 – Mary to pull up bar for 30 seconds of pull ups or bar hangs while pax held plank. Upon completion of 6 rounds – pax moseyed on bottom of Tega cay drive hill.

Part 2 – Dora 1-2-3
100 burpees
200 squats
300 flutters

Change Order thought the idea of doing burpees and running hills was questionable. He wasn’t wrong. Pax persisted nonetheless.

Running to different points on the hill
Burpees – partner 1 run to yellow sign and back down to relieve partner 2 and flapjack.

Squats – partner 1 starts run from yellow sign to top of hill and back to yellow sign to relieve partner 2 and flapjack.

Flutters – partner 1 runs from top of hill to cluster of crepe myrtles and back to relieve partner 2

Mosey to ball field for part 3

Part 3 – left, right & center

Partner 1 planks at edge of infield behind 2nd base. Partner 2 runs to come in left field does exercise and returns to flapjack with partner 1. PAX did 3 rounds per partner

Left field cone – 10 lunges
Center field one – 20 bomb jacks
Right field cone – 30 flutters

PAX moseyed to COT for a stretch at 0728 where many of us were reminded of our lost flexibility and time was called at 0730.

MARY: she wasn’t there

ANNOUNCEMENTS: were announced

COT: 5th core principle

Thanks for the men who posted and chose the tougher thing on a chilly but glorious morning. And Uber – thanks for the call.

Honored,

Towards the Sunrise

Mosey all the way to Windjammer park

Stop along the way for COP (circle of pain)

Did some exercises and yoga on the dock

Great fellowship this morning. Beautiful weather. Not gloomy at all in spirit or in atmosphere.

Got back to COT and had my 60lb bag there. We planked and went down the line performing one man maker each
