WARMUP: I forgot to write backblast so this is not the whole truth….
THE THANG: run to bank and do SSH until 6, run to bottom of hill and do IW till 6, run to basketball nets and do something (forget) till 6. This I know is true: Mossy to first light pole. 15 LBCs then run up the hill to the 9th light pole and do 15 LBCs and come back. Then run to 8th pole and 15 LBCs and come back. Continue this by reducing a light pole. The cheetahs got to about 4 light poles the turtles I think 6. All in all about 4 miles total. It SUCKED

Sandbag Fun

Leave a comment

Solo brought out an FNG so little longer than normal disclaimer. Mosey around outside loop. Stop at first corner for SSHs, Slow Squats, and Windmills. Mosey to next corner for Merkins, Peter Parkers, and Parker Peters. Mosey back to cars to pick up sandbags and move to school entrance.

Sandman WOD. 20 bent over rows, 10 thrusters, then front carry bag about 100M. Repeat this 6 times. Not sure why, but the front carries are the worst. After everyone completed we took a mosey on the inner loop to give our arms a rest.

Back to bags for Lucky 7s. 7 rounds of 7 cleans, 7 front squats, and 7 jump over burpees. Bubba Gump is allergic to burpees so I think he just did merkins as well as curls b/c he does what he wants. Everyone was pretty gassed after round 4 so we stopped and explained the 5 core principals to the FNG. Then pushed hard to complete one more round. Time was almost up so back to COT for a few ab exercises.

Welcome FNG Rutabaga (think Jamie Oliver). And big congrats to Flounder and his M for 44th wedding anniversary. It seemed appropriate for Flounder to take us out which he graciously did. Thanks Maximus for the opportunity!
