Kumquat

WARMUP: BC led that….it involved burpees in cadence, but only after some creative running

THE THANG: Split into 3 groups, was gonna be 4, but Tesh was late. Rotated at Esso's whistle. Band Camp's job was to travel the groups in reverse and …… "encourage" full completion of the exercises

Esso had arms
Shady had core
Slash had legs

It was pretty solid. We know this because Esso could barely move his arms after doing it 3 times, Shady has a massive F3 tramp stamp from the situps, and Slash actually worked out the full duration according to all accounts

MARY: Again Band Camp called more burpees.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Newsletter
14th year convergence at WEP on 9/29

COT: We discussed why shield lock is important. AND that it may not work the first….or second….or third time you try to form one. A man leads from his shield lock, without it I'm not going to be the leader I'm capable of being.

It's kinda like having access to outside consultants who know what's up and are tasked with being honest to you even when you don't want it.

MP version of ROF

It was King of the Ring at ROF this morning. Instead of creating a workout that favored my strengths, went in the opposite direction and thought about the AO that kicks my butt every time, MP. Instead of running with merkins, served up running with core work. Splinter was the King putting in 3+ miles.

WARMUP:
Moseyed to the track for 1 lap with HKs, BKs, & Karaokes mixed in, SSHICx25, IWsICx15, time to roll.

THE THANG:
Winner was the one who completed the most laps around the track. There were different core exercises for Odd & Even numbered laps. Complete the list of exercises for the odd lap and then run the lap, same for the even numbered laps.

Odd Laps – Rep Count = 20-Single Count
AHs, FMs, and Flutters

Even Laps – Rep Count = 20-Single Count
LBCs, PTs, GPs

MARY: No time for her
