COT: Prayers and Praises
WARMUP: Mozy past the bathrooms and stopped for SSH. We kept going and headed up the hill toward the parking lot for windmills then ran back down the hill and stopped near COT for squats.
THE THANG: We continued past COT ran up the parking lot entrance and across the street to the adjacent parking lot where four cones were roughly placed at each corner. (Not exactly a square and more like a “P” than anything else.). We did a “four corners” workout where each Pax did a full lap and stopped at the next cone for reps. After doing 20 reps of each exercise we ran a full lap + the distance to the next cone. Rinse and repeat until we completed all four cones. Cones were broken out as follows:

– Lower: Calf raises, Bomb jacks, Squats, Monkey humpers
– Abs: Big boy sit-ups, American Hammers, Flutters, Box cuttahs

Once completed, (we did more running than planned) we found a patch of grass for Jack Webbs. Overhead claps/Plank jacks. 4/1, 8/2….32/8.
Mozy back to the Clam Shell for a wall sit ladder. Everyone in wall sit position with the person at the end bear crawling out to the grass for 5 Merkins. Rinse and repeat down the line until everyone took their turn. Back to COT with 2.6-2.9 total miles completed depending on whose watch you were going off of.

THE THANG: Two cones were placed in front of the closed dental office with one saying “over” and one saying “under”. Two similar cones were also placed at the far end of the lot by Bubbles and Bows. The game was simple…YHC would read a thoroughly internet researched and irrefutable Christmas fact. The fact would then be slightly altered and the Pax would run to the far end of the lot and stand in front of the “over” or “under” to choose their answer. The true fact would be read and those who chose the wrong side of the answer did more reps than those who got it right. For example, the Pax were told that tinsel was invented in the year 1700. Those who chose the “under” (invented in 1610) did less reps than those who chose the over.
We did 18 rounds and briefly swapped out bear crawls (shorter distance) for running. Exercises included, in varying reps, SSH, Mike Tysons, Plank Jacks, CDD, Monkey Humpers, Squats, American Hammers, Burpees, Hand release merkins, Shoulder taps, Dips, Merkins, Overhead claps, Calf raises, Supermans, and bomb Jacks. Total mileage was 1.7 miles with plenty of reps thrown in.
