Kingsley & Back

WARMUP: N/A
THE THANG: The suggested route was run to Kingsley, create a loop, and run back. There were several modifications around the sunbelt parking lot, some ventured on highway 21, and a few ventured on 160 which may have been a bad suggestion by the Q. 3.5-4.5 miles.

At the end is Sutton view, turn left, take first right, follow to the end, turn left up towards the main mason’s bend rd. Turn left there and head for home. Pax were encouraged to add loops in Kingsley if they wanted more mileage. Very hilly route, this (over 500 ft of climb)

Dealer’s Choice

Nice and gloomy, misty, cool morning. Just being out in this means you made the choice to NOT let the Jester win.
WARMUP: Slow mosey to the contractors pickup area at Lowe’s, circle up for the following, my standard SWIMS warmup:
– 15 SSH 4ct
– 10 Windmills
– 15 Imperial Walker 4ct
– 10 Moroccan night clubs 4 ct
– 15 Strawberry pickers
Since we were where we needed to be, we went right into….
THE THANG:
Dealer’s Choice
I have had the F3 workout deck in my truck for quite some time, like over a year, and never found the right opportunity to use it. Well, today was the day. The cards are waterproof so I was not worried about them getting wet, just whether I could read the small-ish print or not. HA!

Pick a card, do the exercise, then on to the next. Clubs are core, hearts are cardio, spades are legs, diamonds are upper body. Rep count is based on number/suit on the card 2-10 are their number, jacks are 11, queens are 12, kings are 13, aces are something special. jokers/jester are wild card (I had them as 10 burpees).
We got through the following (larger numbers were OYO, everything else in cadence)
2 bulgarian split squats
2 hand clap merkins
11 plank jacks
100 calf raise (ace of spades)
3 wojo squat
7 LBC
sprint 200 m (modified to 50m out and back, 2 of hearts)
11 dips
10 rosalita
NUR 50m out and back
sprint 300m (modified to 50m out and back, 3 of hearts)
lunge walk 50m out and back
10 oblique crunch per side
90 sec high plank
4 CDD
100 SSH (ace of hearts)
13 merkin
sprint 400m (modified to loop around parking lot)
5 lunge 2 ct
12 monkey humpers’
100 arm circles (50 each direction, ace of diamonds)
7 monkey humpers
3 Chuck Norris merkins
6 wide arm merkins
4 alternating side squat/lunge, each side
10 incline merkins
12 diamond merkins
9 ranger merkins10 butt kickers each leg
12 freddy mercury, 2ct
5 hand release merkins
9 LSS
60 seconds low plank (on forearms)
That put us at 3 minutes to 6, just enough time to run back to COT. Unfortunately no jokers/jesters were pulled.
Mumblechatter was most excellent!! Great job by all
MARY: None

ANNOUNCEMENTS: A LOT going on. Highlighted literally everything that is in the newsletter.

COT: A lot lifted up. Reminded PAX that we are all carrying burdens, and we men tend to suffer in silence, but when it gets too much, do not be afraid to reach out, for someone will definitely step in to help lighten the load.

Thanks Peach Stand for the opportunity to lead.

Old Kingsley, Old Glory

WARMUP: Nope

THE THANG: Ruck 3.3 miles with stops at the flag at St. Philip Neri for the pledge and the turnaround point at Fort Mill High School.

MARY: no time

ANNOUNCEMENTS: always

COT: 5th core principle

The privilege of working out is one YHC did not take for granted this week. Despite some short nights of sleep and earlier than normal alarms, it was great to know I was going to be out with the PAX – the best gift we can receive – one of community and belonging. And it never gets old, just better.

Thanks for the call, McHale. :eye:
